Mr Koizumi Clay 86

Mineral, clay or buffer treatment for stable pond water and koi support

Mr Koizumi Clay 86 is a premium ultra-fine mineral clay specially developed for koi ponds and aquatic systems. With a particle size of less than 50 microns, Clay 86 disperses evenly throughout the pond without leaving residue and is fine enough to pass through drum filters without being removed. Rich in natural minerals and containing 86% Montmorillonite clay, Clay 86 helps bind toxins, heavy metals, and impurities immediately after application.

It supports water quality, enhances fish health, promotes vibrant colour development, and contributes to a balanced pond ecosystem. Binds Toxins & Impurities Clay 86 acts as a natural water conditioner by attracting and binding unwanted substances.

Mineral, clay and buffer products are used to support water stability rather than to mask a deeper water quality problem. Products such as Mr Koizumi Clay 86 are most useful when KH, GH, pH, mineral content or suspended fines need attention. Testing first is important, because very soft water, low KH or unstable pH can affect fish health, filter bacteria and the way other treatments behave in the pond.

Mr Koizumi Subarashi products focus on biological pond improvement, water detoxification and fish-safe pond support. Subarashi Detox is used for ammonia, nitrite, chlorine, chloramine, heavy metals and acid rain contaminants in stressed or immature systems.

Water balance guidance

Use Mr Koizumi Clay 86 with an understanding of your pond’s KH, GH and pH stability where relevant. Mineral and buffer products can be very useful, but sudden changes should be avoided. If the pond is very soft, heavily stocked or exposed to heavy rain dilution, regular testing gives a safer picture than occasional guesswork.
