You don't need a pound, only what would last you 2 years max. A 2000 gallon
pond will use 8 oz in 2 years. I thought they had some smaller containers
on the website?

Anyone else order a smaller amount this year? I'm still using up last years
order. ~ jan

If I remember correctly, don't you have to tell them you want the ponders
special to get the 8oz?

Yes it is worth it! ... the instructions follow:

1 Tablespoon for every 1,000 gallons of water. Swish in
a glass of pond water until dissolved then pour it around
the perimeter of your pond.

Two weeks later....
I use the same as above... I think the instructions say to
only use 1 1/2 tsp per 1,000 gallons.

You can see why it lasts so long ....
also, do you really think we would all use if it weren't
"worth" it??

The website only has the larger containers. If you call
them and request the "Ponders Special" they will send you
a smaller container of BZT 8 ozs. for $34.45 plus shipping.
But you must call 918-610-5205

That was at the sale price - it is still available at $34.45
plus shipping. I received mine last week.

Well, yeah. Magnetic bracelets, Madame Cleo, cell phone "radiation
shields", cellulite-reducing creams... people use and swear by lots of
things that not only obviously don't work, but have scientific and
statistical evidence of not working.

Fringe, I invite you to Physically visit my pond Before using BZT and
again After using it. The AFTER visit will have to be several days
after use. The Maintenance dosage has to be followed for BZT
to work as a claimed... I wait 3 weeks before re-using ... the clearing
of the bottom gunk is very noticeable.

I have 2 fish ponds and 3 aquariums that all get BZT weekly. The bottoms
have no debris. They are all crystal clear. Did the BZT do it? Who can
say BUT my 40 gallon tank has a 14" pleco shiting machine. I didn't
think to use BZT on it but then I figured why not? Within weeks I went
from vacuuming a dozen long poos every week to maybe one. Where did they
go? If the BZT bacteria didn't eat them, perhaps you know the answer?
No, Plecy hasn't stopped eating!

So, I am one who "swears by" BZT. I would do away with the salt,
Microbe-Lift, barley straw, Stress-Coat, Stress-Zyme, MelaFix, Maracyn,
koi clay, and various other things I've put in my aquariums and ponds but
don't you dare take away my BZT!

I can't believe you said pl*co more then once in that paragraph. You should
know better. *sniffle* Poor little guy.

Little guy? I've had him almost 10 years. He's 14 inches long! Not
little! I've said pleco a million times. It's all over my web site too.
This fish survived two tank crashes when I first started keeping a variety
of fish. He never dies! I also have a 2 year old bristlenose pl*co.
He's young so maybe I shouldn't risk saying his name correctly!
