MICROBE-LIFT ALGA08 Algaway 5.4 Algae Control Treatment for Ponds and Water Gardens, Safe for Koi Fish, Goldfish, Plants, and Decorations, 8 Ounces

Product seems to work well considering only had used it a few days ago, after a long delay (from my end) to receive

I have a small garden pond it is round maybe 30 gallons. I was having a big algae bloom in the spring with string algae and algae growing on rocks. I put a capful (and it is a small cap) into the pond. After about a week I could see a noticeable difference. Not gone, but much less string algae. After about two weeks, I added another capful. String Algae disappearing, but not completely gone. After about a month, 99% of the string algae was gone. One more capful did the job and no more string algae. I still have some algae growing on rocks, but no overly concerned about that since that stuff doesn't block my pump. Last note, My 4 small gold fish survived the treatment and my water Hyacinth I added a few weeks ago are also fine. Keep in mind that this will take a few weeks and you won't see overnight results.

This was not a surprize as I read the dosing for ponds, 90 gallons and larger. My water feature is a fountain which I found holds 15 gals of water. So I did the math and I needed about .75 ml of this product in my fountain. I got a free medical dosing syringe calibrated in ml, and I add about 1 ml per week. Seems to be working nicely. My fountain is self filling and with SoCal summer coming I think I get a full water change 2 -3 per month.

I purchased this when my small pond had a major outbreak of string algae. Once I got the right amount in the pond it killed the algae. The string algae turns white when it dies and can be scraped off with a brush if needed. As long as I add more product each week in the warm weather the algae does not come back. If I forget the algae will start to return. This does kill snails which was a bonus for me because they were taking over the pond! I have fish and a frog in my pond and it has no effect on them.

What a joke! I have a small pond and bought this to help with the algae that develops feom time to time. Its not a big pond maybe 50 gallons, so it doesnt take much of this in it, well I guess 3 drops is 3 to many because 7 outta 10 of my fish have died and a couple plants in less then 24 hours! I wouldnt recommend this at all if you want fish or plants.
