Aquascape Dry Beneficial Bacteria for Pond and Water Features, 4.4-Ounce | 98925,White

At long last I have found something that works and does not affect the wildlife. Will buy again.

I came accross Aquascape Dry Beneficial Bacteria after weeks of research about out door pond maintenance during winter months. I keep several large koi fish in my 4 mtr self assemble timber pond which now I keep covered to prevent leave falling into the water and insulation. I've read excellent reviews about aquascape pond water additives, the reason why I use this product.

Excellent product

Good for big fish tank/pond

Received an open peace with the seal open. 1/4th of the beneficial bacteria was missing.

This stuff is amazing!! Cleared up a terrible algae bloom in my pond in no time. Not only did the algae disappear but the water is pristine crystal clear now. I love it

I bought this with nualgi after 20 years of struggling with algae in a well-planted biologically-filtered pond in the subtropics. Algae has been a constant problem despite plants, waterfalls and algae-eating fish -probably due to the warm water. Plus various fish-friendly algicides, none of which ever seemed very effective. Don't know which of the 2 products it is - but used together I have been extremely pleased with my minimal algae. I used nualgi first which was pretty good, but when I added this it was so much better. Haven't tried this product on its own - and really I don't care if the algae volume is so reduced. Actually have to feed the fish! There's a little bit of algae left but in a nature pond there will always be some - which is ok. but it is now easily manageable.

I have a koi pond that cascades via a mini aquaduct into two turtle ponds. I had plecos to control the algae but my gardener poisoned them. This left my ponds with thick algae on the walls and rocks (and plecos are now illegal where I live). Added to this, I got an infestation of the long stringy algae and a clumping algae. My ponds aren't large so I used about 1/5 of a teaspoon. The stringy and clumping algae disappeared and the thick algae coating on everything returned to healthy levels. The bottom of the tanks are clean, clean. The dead algae particles sank to the bottom of the tank and were easily pumped out. Also, my fish (koi, goldfish and live breeders for my turtles) were unaffected. This product worked for me beyond my expectations. ALSO: I followed some advice that adding some river material (water and dead) to a fish tank with soil would create natural biome for my fish. Turned out the water was infected and my tank (5 gallon) turned to a toxic brown algae habitat. The plants were rotting and the glass (everything really) was covered in thick brown algae. With no time available (I work away and arrived home to go on mini holiday with family) to clean the tank, I super dosed it with this product and crossed my fingers. When I returned from the beach, the tank was almost clean and the fish looked fine. I swapped 80% of the water, did another slight dose and headed back to work. Not sure whether I affected the fish negatively (though they look ok), but the change in the tank was astounding (it really looked toxic).
