Description
xThe Seachem Pond Salt is a high-purity, premium-grade salt specifically formulated for freshwater ponds to support fish health and improve biological filtration. Unlike common table or rock salts that may contain impurities and harmful additives, Seachem Pond Salt is made from evaporated sea salt, ensuring it is free of unwanted chemicals and safe for pond ecosystems. It delivers essential electrolytes such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, and chloride, all of which are vital for maintaining proper osmotic balance in fish, promoting healthy gill function, and strengthening immune systems.
By supporting these physiological processes, Seachem Pond Salt helps fish withstand stress caused by poor water quality, environmental fluctuations, handling, or transport. It can be especially beneficial when fish are acclimating to a new pond, recovering from illness, or under stress due to rapid changes in water conditions. The salt assists fish in maintaining their osmotic balance, which is critical for their ability to regulate fluids and salts within their bodies, helping them thrive in challenging environments.
In addition to supporting fish health, Seachem Pond Salt also plays a crucial role in enhancing biological filtration. It promotes the growth and activity of beneficial nitrifying bacteria in the pond, which are responsible for breaking down harmful compounds like ammonia and nitrites. By improving the efficiency of these bacteria, the salt helps maintain higher water quality, reduces toxic buildup, and keeps the pond water clear and healthy for all aquatic life.
Seachem Pond Salt is versatile and can be used as part of routine maintenance or during specific situations like treating sick fish, reducing stress, or acclimating new fish to the pond. Its unique formulation ensures that it is safe for use with freshwater plants and other pond organisms, provided it is dosed correctly. The salt is compatible with a wide range of pond setups, making it an essential tool for maintaining a balanced and stable aquatic environment.
Directions for Use: Seachem Pond Salt is easy to use and can be applied regularly or during times of stress, illness, or water changes. Follow these steps for effective application:
-
Dosage:
- For routine maintenance, add 9.75 grams (1 level teaspoon) of salt per 40 liters of pond water.
- For ponds where fish are stressed, ill, or acclimating to new environments, increase the dose to 12 grams (1.25 teaspoons) per 40 liters of pond water.
-
Application:
- Dissolve the required amount of salt in a container of pond water before adding it to the pond.
- Slowly pour the dissolved salt solution around the perimeter of the pond to ensure even distribution. This helps avoid concentrated areas that could irritate fish or plants.
- Avoid adding undissolved salt directly into the pond, as this may cause localized irritation to fish and aquatic plants.
-
Re-dosing:
- Pond salt does not evaporate or dissipate, so re-dosing is only necessary when performing water changes. Add salt proportionally to the amount of water being replaced, ensuring the correct concentration is maintained in the pond.
By following these instructions, Seachem Pond Salt can be used safely and effectively to maintain optimal pond health. Its high purity and easy dissolvability make it an ideal solution for ponds of all sizes. Seachem Pond Salt is available in various package sizes, making it convenient to use in both small and large pond systems.
Overall, Seachem Pond Salt is an essential product for any pond keeper who wants to maintain the health and stability of their pond environment. Its combination of high-quality electrolytes, ease of use, and support for both fish and biological filtration makes it a valuable tool for maintaining clear water, healthy fish, and a balanced ecosystem. Whether used as part of routine care or in special situations, Seachem Pond Salt is a trusted choice for promoting long-term pond health.

Micro Aquatic Care Instructions
xOur shop always delivers healthy shrimp and fish with the best color of their own.
However, the shrimp and fish you receive may be discolored and the reason of this issue is strong vibration during transportation and they're not be fed during the transport period
To handle this problem we highly recommend to you:
🚩Let the fish relax helps them adapt to any changes in water temperature in the tank. Also prevents pH shock - an imbalance between the water in the shop tank and your tank.
🚩Place the fish bag in a cool, corner, and dark place. Prevent the bag from being bumped, slipped, or dropped. This'll give your new fish a good recovery and acclimatization after a shaky ride from the shop to your home.
🚩Feed your old fish first to distract them, preventing them from bullying your new fish.
🚩Your new aquarium tank should have a pH of zero ammonia and chlorine before adding new fish.
🚩Turn off the lights, reduce the glare in the room, or limit the light entering the aquarium. This will help the new fish not be stressed.
