Aquascape AquaMats®

AquaMats® give your pond the same life-sustaining benefits Mother Nature provides in natural reefs and wetlands all around the world. The grasslike AquaMats® are precision-engineered to provide habitat for your fish while simultaneously improving water quality and health.

• Advanced In-Pond Biofiltration
• Specialized Aquatic Habitat
• Nutrient-Rich Food for Fish

What are AquaMats® made of ? AquaMats® are a completely environmentally friendly solution. The polymers used in AquaMats® are food-grade in nature. There are no binders or harmful chemicals used in the materials, so there is nothing to leach into your water.

Do AquaMats® have to be cleaned ? Ideally, AquaMats® are bio-engineered to be cleaned, or "grazed", by pond fish like koi and goldfish. However, if desired, AquaMats® may be hand-cleaned at pond side.

How do AquaMats® work with bacterial additions ? Fantastic! The engineered surfaces of AquaMats® are specifically designed to encourage the growth of bacterial communities. The key to maximizing the effectiveness of any bacterial treatment is to provide it with just the right type and amount of surface area, like the kind provided in AquaMats®. In summary, bacteria and AquaMats® equal a great team.

How many AquaMats® do I need for my pond ? Figuring out how many AquaMats® you need is easy. To do it, estimate how many gallons of water are in your pond (length in ft. x width in ft. x depth in ft. x 7.48 = gallons).
For small ponds (500 gallons or less), use one Mini AquaMats® for every 50 (fifty) gallons of pond water. For example, if your pond is 150 gallons, you would need 3 Mini AquaMats®.
For large ponds (over 500 gallons), use one Standard AquaMats® for every 1,000 gallons of pond water. For example, if your pond is 3,000 gallons, you would need 3 Standard AquaMats®.
AquaMats® may be joined to one another to accommodate any size pond. AquaMats® are most effective in ponds over 24 inches deep. For ponds less than 500 gallons or less than 24 inches deep, we recommend the use of the smaller Mini AquaMats®.
