Description
Kasco's Macro-Zyme Muck Pucks are pre-portioned beneficial bacteria pucks designed for targeted treatment of high-muck zones in ponds and small lakes. Each 7 lb pail contains 266 individual pucks, with each puck treating up to 10 ft² of pond bottom. Drop a puck where muck has accumulated — around drains, beneath docks, in stagnant corners — and the slow-release bacterial blend goes to work biodegrading sludge, leaves, fish waste, and other organic debris. Used by professional pond managers since 1991, Macro-Zyme is a 100% natural, non-chemical solution that's safe for fish, plants, pets, and people.
Features
- Pre-portioned 1-puck application — drop one puck per 10 ft² of muck-affected area; no measuring or scooping required
- 266 pucks per 7 lb pail — treats up to 2,660 ft² of pond bottom (roughly 1/16 acre of muck zones)
- Targeted application — ideal for spot-treating around dock pilings, drainage areas, fountain bases, and fish-feeding zones where organic debris accumulates fastest
- Slow-release bacterial blend — pucks dissolve gradually, releasing concentrated beneficial bacteria over multiple days
- Reduces odors in 24 hours or less — fast-acting against the hydrogen sulfide and ammonia smells caused by anaerobic muck
- 100% natural and pet-safe — no chemicals, no metals, no harm to fish, plants, dogs, livestock, or wildlife
- Used by professionals since 1991 — Kasco's Macro-Zyme line is a long-standing pond-management standard

Application
- Identify high-muck zones in your pond — typically around inlets, drainage points, dock pilings, fountain bases, and fish-feeding areas
- Drop one puck per 10 ft² of muck-affected area
- Pucks sink and rest on the muck layer; bacteria release as the puck slowly dissolves over several days
- Reapply every 3 weeks during active season (water temperatures 55°F+) until muck is visibly reduced
- For maintenance after initial cleanup, reapply once per month during active season
