 | | |  | "Water Quality Testing and Adjusting" Trickers has the products to maintain your Water Quality! Do NOT let a single season pass without the benefit of a healthy pond or aquarium with excellent water quality! It is vital. Enjoy your water garden pool or aquarium today with the proven products recommended by William Tricker, Inc.® | | | | The "Nitrogen Cycle" is a cycle that occurs in nature and must occur in your pool to achieve water quality. If the cycle is interrupted, problems often arise, i.e. fish problems, algae blooms, etc. Testing for water quality that involves the Nitrogen Cycle is important. These results are important in diagnosing problems that arise in water gardens. The Ultra Clear products, containing the "good" bacteria, are very important to use as a routine additive to keep the water clear and healthy. Click on each photograph to see an enlarged product version and read the detailed descriptions. NOTE: The book "Tricker’s 1101 Water Gardening Questions and Answers" by Richard Lee has a chapter on fish and discusses water quality related to the nitrogen cycle. Also, our DVD "Introduction to Water Gardening" shows how to take a pH measurement next to a water garden pool. | | | | | | | | |
