Greetings. I'm Bruce Rich, partner at United-Tech (manufacturers of
BZT and OBT formulas). We just posted a short, general article on Springtime Pond Startup on our new blog. I invite you to check it out. http://www.united-tech.com/products/products/kp.html Also, for the record, I know many rec.ponders have trumpeted the benefits of BZT(R) Aquaculture in the past. We used to carry a product deemed "BZT Aquaculture Ponder Special," but we have recently developed a more targeted formulation BZT(R) Koi & Pond. I'd like to hear about what you are using now, if different, and any success stories you might have regarding our product. Also, since I am a bit of a net junkie, I'll be popping in every now and then to learn from you, and share any know-how and opinions that may be beneficial. Happy ponding! Cheers, Bruce Rich, CIO United-Tech http://www.united-tech.com/ TWITTER: http://twitter.com/unitedtechinc FB: http://facebook.united-tech.com/ |

Been a BZT believer for years. I even took some time off from it when I
started keeping the filter primed by running at a slower rate in winter. After 2 years on the shelf I decided to use up what I had left.... was I surprised that suddenly my filter didn't need cleaning as often! Needless to say, I'm back to using it, purchased the 1 lb. package last fall. ~ jan ![]() On Tue, 19 Apr 2011 13:21:52 -0700 (PDT), Bruce Rich wrote: Greetings.

Good to hear. We have been keeping pretty busy and our market focus
diverged, but we're slowly reintegrating BZT with the ponder circuit. Glad to know our extended shelf life has served you well, and also glad our little article has helped. ![]() extended absence from the forums and newsgroups. I have been missing the friendships and contributions, so it's time to get involved. My personally favorite article was the Rasti-Land Amusement park article - nothing to do with Koi, but plenty to do with water. You can read it on the blog, too. http://united-tech.com/news/news.html. I personally would love to get invited to more amusement parks, because I'm a bit of a roller-coaster fanatic. I'll be posting more random tidbits on our facebook and blog in the future. Some will be koi-related, others not. If you FB, feel free to add us. I'm always on there, so questions are easily and quickly answered (but I will try hard to come back here regularly as well!!). Bruce On Apr 24, 8:03*pm, ~ jan wrote: Been a BZT believer for years.

![]() "Bruce Rich" wrote ... about his product BZT. I have used a product marketed at gardeners as "Garden Yoghurt" . It's basically a mixture of various bacteria you growth like yoghurt in a heated maker and then use on soil, ponds, even work surfaces, to remove/replace harmful bacteria. In a pond it makes any detritus clump up, does the same in the filters too, so everything stays much cleaner, the water stays clearer, and the fish seem healthier. I've also noticed a significant increase in fresh water sponges on surfaces in the pond/filters which is always a sign of good quality water. A cup full dose lasts a season or more as it continues to grow in the pond to it's optimum level. Quite cheep to make too, especially when it was a present in the first place. -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |

no need for anything with a veggie filter. I use a wet vacuum to remove the mulm from the filter once a year and spread it on my flower gardens. Yes, I also use a 0.75hp electric swimming pool pump and vacuum etc. Works well. The filters have bottom drains so are quite easy to clean of excess muck. -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |
