Algaecide For Ponds - Stops Algae Growth & Controls string algae!

No more green water with ALGAWAY 5.4 Algaecide!

It stops algae growth in ponds and can be applied to areas that contain fish and plants!

For use in self-contained ornamental ponds and fountains without any outflow. For small ponds with heavy algae growth, clean the excess algae off the sides and ornaments before adding ALGAWAY 5.4 . This will reduce the amount of decaying organic matter.

Fountains, Small Ponds with goldfish and koi - Treat only those fountains and ponds which will have no outflow after treatment. High water temperatures cause more rapid natural decay of dead algae which can cause fish distress. If animals are present clean out excess algae as stated above or use before temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C).

CAUTIONS: In ponds, insure that water is well aerated via waterfall, fountain or other method to prevent fish loss. Aeration must be continuous. Not safe for use with snails, shrimp and other crustaceans or mollusks.

Repeat dosage once per week.

Aqua Xtreme is a convenient liquid, single-phase, full-function water conditioner that has been scientifically formulated for use in koi and goldfish ponds. Product should be used when: conditioning new water for ponds; adding (or prior to adding) water, new fish or plants to ponds; and transporting koi or goldfish. It is very important to use Aqua Xtreme when adding water to a pond that contains chloramines. Conventional dechlorinators will detoxify the chlorine in the chloramines but do nothing to the ammonia released from the chloramines. Aqua Xtreme will detoxify both the chlorine and the ammonia in chloramines.

Safely Lowers pH Levels

  • Formulated in de ionized water
  • Includes 2 pH decreasers for gentle effectiveness and 3 electrolytes to help maintain osmotic balance
  • Contains a slime coat ingredient for skin protection and stress reduction in pond fish
  • Has a chelating agent to enhance water quality
  • Not harmful to fish or plants

Application: Test your pond water at the same time each day (dawn = lowest pH; dusk = highest pH) for a pH reading. If the pH is above 8.0, use Microbe-Lift pH Decrease. If your pond contains fish and/or plants, do not dramatically change the pH (more than .5 of a pH unit) in 24 hours, as this may shock the aquatic life and plants. Apply Microbe-Lift pH Decrease Plus in several steps and measure decreased pH before next addition. Repeat if/as necessary.

Will help maintain a healthy pond environment and reduce the threat of parasitic disease in pond water.

Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals added to your pond water can be effective in helping to maintain a healthy fish environment and, in proper dosages, has proven to be helpful in reducing the threat of parasitic infestations in the pond.

Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals will temporarily block the toxic effects of nitrite, and by initiating the production of a thicker slime coat on the fish's body surface, helps to promote a stronger immune system and reduce stress.

Caution - Do not overdose. When adding salt to ponds that contain aquatic plants, be especially careful in monitoring salt concentration as salt can be a toxic effect on certain plants. Before adding salt to your pond, remove any zeolite products being used.

Directions - Salt will not evaporate from your pond. After testing your pond water with a hydrometer, you can add salt with your regular water changes. We recommend mixing salt and pond water in a bucket, and then spreading the slurry around the perimeter of your pond. Be careful to avoid direct contact with pond plants.

Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals Dosage
For Small Ponds: ½ (120g) per 10 gal. (38L) of pond water
For Large Ponds: 5 cups (1.13 kg) per 100 gal. (378L) of pond water
For Stress Reduction: Use Microbe-Lift Therapeutic Salt For Quarantine Tanks containing added electrolytes and Allantoin, which accelerates wound and fin healing.

Essential for Nitrification

When pond carbonate levels fall below the necessary level, nitrification stops and will fail to start again. With the loss of KH (carbonate alkalinity) pH levels will vary and pH will be difficult to control as KH stabilizes pond pH.

Use for: tap water, tank water, change water

  • 2 lbs – approx 49 scoops
  • 8 lbs – approx 196 scoops
  • 20 lbs – approx 490 scoops
  • 50 lbs – approx 1225 scoops

Example:

To raise KH in 4,000 gal pond, wanting to keep the KH level above 80 ppm:

To raise by 25 ppm→ add 40 scoops

To raise by 50 ppm→ add 80 scoops

To raise by 80 ppm (in pond that has crashed)→ add 133 scoops

(Ideal KH level in a pond is 100-300 ppm, with the higher the better, especially in heavily stocked ponds and lined ponds)

Microbe-Lift KH-Carbonate Alkalinity Booster Dosage
A full flat level scoop (enclosed, holds 1 tbsp) will raise the KH by approximately:80/ppm in 30 gallons 50/ppm in 50 gallons 25/ppm in 100 gallons

Break Down Unsightly Debris! Microbe-Lift Oxy Pond Cleaner will safely yet immediately breakdown accumulated debris from rocks, streams and on waterfalls. Microbe-Lift OPC, Oxy Pond Cleaner will safely spot-treat all areas of light-to-heavy accumulations of debris on rocks, waterfalls, streams, planters, etc. Microbe-Lift Oxy Pond Cleaner is 100% safe when used as directed.

  • Uses Oxygen Power to break down unsightly debris
  • Especially helpful on streams and waterfalls
  • Deep cleans planters and rocks
  • Helps to prevent pond odors
  • Oxidizes and Detoxifies

Directions: Microbe-Lift OPC, Oxy Pond Cleaner is not temperature sensitive but works best in warmer weather. To achieve the best results, manually clean out as much accumulated debris from the pond as possible and shut down waterfalls before cleaning. Do not dilute. To treat areas with debris build up, sprinkle over areas needing treatment. Make direct contact but avoid live plants where possible. To maintain a continued proper ecosystem in your pond, always add Microbe-Lift PL, or any bacterial/enzymatic treatment, 48 hours after using Microbe-Lift Oxy Pond Cleaner.

Before Use: Use Microbe-Lift Ammonia Test Strips to test for the presence of ammonia in your pond water. If ammonia levels are above 0.8mg/L, DO NOT apply Microbe-Lift OPC, Oxy Pond Cleaner until the ammonia level is brought down below 0.8mg/L. If ammonia levels exceed 1.0mg/L, add Microbe-Lift Ammonia Remover.

After Use: Ammonia levels should be monitored for two days following applications of ANY/ALL oxygen release compounds as they can kill beneficial bacteria in a pond/lake resulting in an ammonia or nitrite spike. Use Microbe-Lift Ammonia Test Strips to test for the presence of ammonia. If your ammonia levels exceed 1.0mg/L., add Microbe-Lift Ammonia Remover to reduce the ammonia level to 0.8mg/L or below.
