Ponds receive organic debris from many sources such as dead algae, leaves, twigs, and fish waste. If left alone, this debris breaks down into muck and sludge, which can cause future water quality issues. Muck Defense tablets contain a specialized blend of natural bacteria and enzymes that rapidly digest muck and sludge, converting it to an odorless gas that escapes the water.

Breaks Down Leaves, Fish Waste & Dead Algae Reduces Nutrients & Minimizes Pond Cleanouts Eliminates Noxious Pond Odors

Beneficial Bacteria & Enzymes All the decaying organic material adds to your nutrient load, which can lead to excessive muck accumulation and algae blooms. Muck Defense bacteria blend reduces organic waste and eliminates odors to keep your water clear and balanced.

Easy Application Simply toss tablets into your pond. Upon application, the Muck Defense tablets sink below the surface, acting as a pond sludge remover and releasing beneficial bacteria that instantly begins digesting debris.

Reduces Pond Maintenance Regular use of Muck Defense reduces the frequency of pond cleanouts and routine maintenance. It is great at removing hard-to-reach muck from rocks and gravel at the bottom of your koi pond, fishpond, or water garden.
