Custom AQ - Aquaculture Water Conditioner is a biological pond treatment specifically designed to meet the demands of the aquaculture industry.
Custom AQ is a blend of all natural bacteria scientifically formulated to create and maintain cleaner, healthier ponds.
Custom AQ works by degrading common organic wastes such as fecal matter and excess feed. It also helps to control potentially lethal ammonia, nitrates and nitrites before they become a problem. Custom AQ further detoxifies pond water by degrading many pesticides, hydrocarbons and other contaminants.
Ponds treated with Custom AQ show increased survival, higher yields and improved feed conversion. They also require less frequent water changes and have less off-flavor problems. Older ponds can see a gradual restoration to previous yields.
Custom AQ is perfect for use in a variety of aquaculture applications including fish hatcheries, fish farms, and shrimp or prawn farms. It can be used in general, semi-intensive, or intensive farming operations..
