Bacillus subtilis and Pediococcus acidilactici added to the pond environment help break down accumulated organic matter and sludge, contributing to reducing the formation and build-up of toxic NH₃ and NO₂ in the water and pond-bottom mud.

How MAX 4000 treats pond water and bottom
Toxic gas in the pond forms at the bottom
- 1
Sludge builds up
Uneaten feed, droppings and sludge settle on the bottom in thicker layers.
- 2
Toxic NH₃, NO₂
Organic matter breaking down on the bottom releases toxic gases into the water and mud.
- 3
Intensive, high density
The higher the density, the more feed and waste.
- 4
Water and mud get worse
A less favourable environment for shrimp growth.
4 registered benefits
- 01
Supplementing beneficial microorganisms into the pond environment to participate in decomposing accumulated organic matter and sediment, contributing to reducing the formation and accumulation of toxic gases such as NH₃ and NO₂ in the water and pond bottom mud.
- 02
Support the metabolism of nitrogen-containing compounds, contributing to water quality stabilization under intensive and high-density farming conditions.
- 03
Stabilize the environmental microbial ecosystem, limit toxic gas generation from excess feed and organic waste.
- 04
Contribute to improving water quality and pond bottom sediment, creating a favorable environment for farmed animals to grow and develop.
Two strains working where toxic gases form
Toxic gases in ponds come mostly from uneaten feed, droppings and sludge on the bottom. MAX 4000 adds beneficial microbes to the pond environment to help break down organic matter, contributing to less NH₃ and NO₂.
- 01
Adds beneficial microbes
Each application brings Bacillus subtilis and Pediococcus acidilactici into the pond water, each at least 0.5 × 10¹⁰ CFU/kg.
- 02
Breaks down bottom sludge
The microbes help break down accumulated organic matter and sludge — the source of toxic NH₃ and NO₂ in the water and bottom mud.
- 03
Converts nitrogen compounds
Supports the conversion of nitrogen-containing compounds, helping keep water quality stable in intensive, high-density culture.
- 04
Stabilises the pond's microbes
Limits toxic gas from excess feed and organic waste; better water and bottom mud for shrimp to grow.
