Algaecides

PondMAX AlgaeSTOP, works by targeting and disrupting nuisance algae in ornamental ponds, fountains, and water gardens, helping restore clarity and maintain a balanced aquatic environment. It controls a wide range of green water, string, and hair algae by interfering with their growth processes, and stops algae growth in self-contained ponds and aquariums using its fast-acting polymeric active ingredient.

 

AlgaeSTOP acts directly on existing algae blooms to prevent photosynthesis and reproduction. As treated algae die off, they are easily removed through filtration or manual cleaning, and a weekly maintenance dosage helps prevent new growth.

​

When used as directed in a well-aerated, contained pond system, AlgaeSTOP keeps water clean and clear while supporting a healthy environment for fish and aquatic plants. Dosage: 1oz/600 gallons. Can be used year-round or as needed.

​

Fountec is a concentrated, EPA-registered algaecide and water clarifier made by EasyCare that keeps decorative outdoor fountains and birdbaths clean without chlorine or heavy scrubbing. Actions- Uses organic cationic polymers to disrupt algae cell walls and suffocate growth. Safe for birds, pets, plants, and mammals to drink from or touch, (when used as directed) but toxic to fish because it coats their gills. Non-staining, non-foaming, unaffected by sunlight or heat, and helps deter mosquitoes.

- Initial clean dose: Roughly 1 teaspoon per 100 gallons for visible algae or setup.

- Weekly maintenance: Roughly 1/2 teaspoon per 100 gallons weekly.

-  Efficiency: Treats roughly 300 gallons of water per ounce of concentrate.

KEEPS YOUR POND CLEAN & CLEAR-
Contains numerous, efficient strains of valuable bacteria which have the sole job of creating clean and clear pond water – enhancing the beauty of your backyard pond oasis!

Unique photosynthetic bacteria will drive water clarification by promoting flocculation of suspended particles. Also promotes denitrification which leads to a decrease in the nutrient load within the pond.

BENEFITS:

•Clarifies cloudy water

•Improves dissolved oxygen levels

•Aids in Denitrification = reduction of nitrogen in water. Reduces Ammonia

•Gets rid of noxious odors

•Breaks down dead algae

•Helps reduce ammonia nitrogen levels

•Maintains pond’s delicate balance

•Safe for fish, plants & household pets that may drink from the pond

•For use in salt water & fresh water

•REDUCES WASTE = LESS CLEANING beneficial bacteria efficiently break down organic pond sludge. Treatment with Beneficial Bacteria will greatly reduce the amount of maintenance necessary to maintain a healthy and clear pond habitat.

 

•REDUCES AMMONIA & NITRATES will help seed the pond’s biological filtration systems eliminating toxic ammonia & nitrite levels. Use in combination with sludge reducer to super-charge the ponds filtration and clean the bottom of the pond.

 

•ALL NATURAL + 100% SAFE all natural and 100% safe to all humans, animals, fish & plants. Safe for dogs to drink out of the pond. It is nontoxic and nonpathogenic.

Water Testing

Most water problems are invisible to the eye. Quickly measure and modify the six levels that are most important to the health of your freshwater fish with the API FRESHWATER MASTER TEST KIT.

 

To stay healthy and thrive, fish need properly balanced levels of ammonia, pH, high range pH, nitrite and nitrate. These levels can change rapidly and create harmful conditions when fish waste, uneaten food or other organic matter accumulate, or when untreated water is added. If left uncorrected, all of these can be harmful or even fatal to fish, with consequences such as reduction of oxygen, increase in stress and higher risk of disease.

The API FRESHWATER MASTER TEST KIT measures these six parameters with scientific accuracy and provides professional results. It comes with four test tubes, a holding tray and computer calibrated, laminated color card. Just fill the test tubes, add the test drops and compare results to the color card. Then follow the recommendations on the card if action is required.
