From time to time we all need to battle some kind of algae bloom. Usually during the Summer is when it’s the worst! Green Algae, Hair Algae, Filamentous Algae, etc, they’re ALL terrible, and some can destroy your pond within days after seeing just a small amount growing in it. There are many tricks of the trade to battle these algaes. Our company strives at promoting long term natural solutions and offer pre-planned strategies for these long term results, NOT temporary fixes! If you’re looking for a quick fix, you’ll need to go elsewhere. But remember, a quick fix is only a temporary fix and will end up costing you more money in the long term, Our programs are designed to correct and balance your pond or lake for the long term. A well-balanced pond will always overcome these algae blooms naturally and offer you the results you’ve been looking for.

Here’s a quick checklist of some items you’ll need to keep your pond healthy:
1. Make sure you are broadcasting Pond Salt 2x annually to keep down algae, kill bad bacteria, and help promote healthy gill function and more!
2. Add Microbial Tabs or bacteria monthly to help grow good bacteria! Beneficial Microbial acteria is VERY IMPORTANT!
3. Add Barley Straw in your waterfall or skimmer to curb algae, replace every 4-6 months!
4. Add the proper quantities of Algae Eating Snails, the correct kinds of Fish to your pond!
5. Are you using a good Fish food to feed your Koi or are you overfeeding your fish? Cheap fish foods usually contain Phosphates, which will encourage MORE algae growth. Phosphates occur naturally in abunfance in ALL bodies of water, so you don’t need to add any more. Our foods are made from all-natural organic ingredients and contain NO Phosphates!
6. Shade your water! In the Summertime, the sun is going to be a large factor in your algae growth. You have a few choices of what you can do. Using either Surface plants or Water Lilies to give you cover naturally, or you may use things like non-harmful beautifying pond water dyes. These will all help reduce algae growth by blocking UV and UVB Rays.
