GREEN is great for the environment, but you don't want your pond to turn green.

Microbial Algae Clean is the first bacterial algaecide registered with the EPA. The patented bacteria contained in PondCare Microbial Algae Clean are a biological inhibitor of green water, and they help to establish and maintain a clean pond, free of algae.

The EPA has deemed it safe! Microbial Algae Clean has no negative effects associated with bacteria when in contact with freshwater fish, aquatic invertebrates, honey bees and avian animals.

Extensive scientific testing has deemed it effective!

Pond owners' number one problem has been algae of various types. Microbial Algae Clean contains patented bacteria to control "green water" or free floating algae in ponds with live fish and plants.:
• Eliminates troublesome organic sludge and debris
• Promotes a cleaner pond environment
• Improves dissolved oxygen levels
• Helps establish and maintain the biological filter
• Reduces noxious odors from the pond.
• Will not harm live plants or fish

If high levels of algae exist, be prepared to siphon out dead filamentous algae (see Ultivac ). It is also highly recommended that you combine Pondcare Algaefix with Liquid EcoFix or powdered Pond Zyme to quickly break down the accumulated dead algae and debris that results from algae die-off. High quantities of dead algae can be damaging if not removed and broken down quickly to prevent toxic ammonia build-up.

To use: Add 1 teaspoonful of PondCare Microbial Algae Clean for every 50 gallons of pond/ fountain water (1/4 cup per 600 gallons). Repeat dose every 3 days for first 2 weeks then add once a week to maintain control of Green water algae (Chlorella).

• Concentrated formula, contains aloe vera - nature's "liquid bandage". Forms a synthetic slime coating on the skin of fish.
• Replaces the natural secretion of slime that is interrupted by handling, shipping, fish fighting, or other forms of stress.
• Removes chlorine and conditions tap water instantly.
• For use whenever setting up a pond, adding fish, or changing pond water.
• Recommended by professional fish handlers to add to fish bags for protection on the trip home.
• 8 oz bottle treats 960 US gallons
• Measuring cup with each bottle.

Organic matter accumulates in all garden ponds producing a build-up of sludge and causing cloudy water. The five strains of bacteria in Pond-Zyme digest sludge and turn it into harmless minerals and water, visibly improving water clarity and quality.

Excess phosphate often leads to discolored, murky water. The bacteria in Pond-Zyme PLUS will consume phosphate that is in the water and also "organic phosphate" that is in pond sludge. This also leads to cleaner, clearer water.

Pondcare Pond-Zyme PLUS with Barley features:
• Dissolves away hard-to-clean waste and breaks down fish waste, uneaten food, and dead algae and vegetation that accumulate in the pond.
• Helps maintain good water quality to minimize stress to fish and plants.
• Use whenever setting up or cleaning a pond and preparing pond for seasonal change.
• 3.7 oz treats 4500 US gallons.
• Safe for all pond fish, plants, and wildlife

Makes pond water clean and clear. Breaks down dead algae. Increases the concentration of dissolved oxygen in pond water.

EcoFix can be added anytime during the pond season. However, for best results EcoFix treatments should begin in the spring when the water warms up and the fish begin to feed. The bacteria in EcoFix will immediately begin working throughout the entire pond. Regular use of EcoFix will result in healthy clear water.

Ecofix is non-staining and non-foaming. Can be used in ponds containing salt and with UV sterilizers. Can be used in fountains. Will not hurt wildlife. Safe with plants.

Highly recommended as a compliment to Algaefix to help break down dead algae.

8 oz treats 2000 US gallons. 64 oz treats 16,000 gallons. One gallon treats 32,000 US gallons.

Ecofix Pond Clarifier can not be shipped to Hawaii at this time.

• All natural - made from evaporated sea water.
• Reduces fish stress, improves gill function, and temporarily protects fish against nitrite toxicity.
• Adds natural electrolytes.
• Can be used with pond remedies to improve recovery from disease.

Dual Action Polyester Pre-filter Pads Feature:
• Unique dual action filter pad improves water clarity
• Traps fine particles that other pads miss
• Can be cut to fit any pond filter
• Each package contains two pads

AP157 contains two dual-action pads.

Effectively controls "green water" algae blooms and blanketweed.

Algae growth can appear as "green water" blooms, filamentous algae on plants, floating algae mats and algae growth as waterfalls.

Pond owners' number one problem has been algae of various types. Previously all algaecides were non-selective and killed or damaged most plants in the pond along with the algae. Pondcare Algaefix is our number 1 seller by far. It effectively controls many types of green or green water algae, string or hair algae and blanketweed in ponds that contain live plants. Controls existing algae and helps resolve additional algae blooms. Keeps ornamental ponds and water gardens clean & clear.

Pondcare Algaefix can be used in ponds with plants! It is not a bacterial product but an EPA registered herbicide control.

pH UP slowly raises the pH of pond water (making it more alkaline) without harming delicate pond fish or aquatic plants. Slowly neutralizes acid substances that cause low pH (pH of pond water is affected by mineral leaching, soil runoff & decomposing waste). A low pH can stress pond fish & suppress the activity of the biological filter.

pH DOWN slowly lowers the pH of pond water (making it more acidic) without harming delicate pond fish or aquatic plants. Slowly neutralizes alkaline substances that cause high pH. A high pH limits the ability of aquatic plants to absorb necessary nutrients.

Tereats conditions such as eye cloud, mouth fungus and fin & tail rot. All-natural antibacterial remedy rapidly repairs damaged fins, ulcers and open wounds. Melafix uses the antibacterial power of Melaleuca (Tea Tree) extract for the treatment of bacterial infections. Healing and tissue re-growth can often be seen within four days of treatment.

Melafix features:
• Use to treat bacterial infections on koi and goldfish.
• Use when introducing new fish.
• Will not harm the biological filter.
• Safe for snails and other invertebrates.
• Safe for aquatic plants
• Safe for domestic animals and other wildlife.

Dosage: 1 tsp per 50 gallons.

Pond Care Melafix is more concentrated than Aquarium Melafix but can also be used in larger fresh or saltwater aquariums.

See: Aquarium MelaFix for the more diluted product.

Features:
• Specifically formulated for feeding in spring and autumn when water temperatures are cool
• Specifically formulated for the needs of koi and goldfish in cool water
• Reduces ammonia produced in fish waste.
• Contains stabilized vitamin C to boost disease resistance of pond fish
• Packaged in a moisture-proof package for freshness.

Simply Clear can be used in conjunction wiht AlgaeFix, but should be added after AlgaeFix to maintain the pond’s natural balance.

When first using Simply-Clear, the pond may appear slightly cloudy. The excess nutrients in the pond may trigger the bacteria in Simply-Clear to become very active. As the bacteria consume the nutrients the water will clear.

Simply Clear Pond Cleaner can not be shipped to Hawaii at this time.

Stress Coat Marine Formula is the only marine water conditioner with the healing power of Aloe Vera. Developed for use with a protein skimmer, it will not cause foaming. Reef safe.

All Season: Delivers beneficial oxygen and aeration in both summer and winter to ponds with fish. More oxygen is frequently needed in larger ponds with larger fish. This system adds to the oxygenation provided by fountains or waterfalls, which may not be adequate to keep this type of pond healthy. Winter use in freezing climates helps promote surface gas exchange to eliminate toxic gas build-up when the pond surface is frozen.

Maintenance Free: Designed to improve oxygen absorption, our diffuser membranes deliver all of the performance of air stone diffusers without the hassles of replacing cracked stones or frequent cleanings due to debris accumulations. Virtually maintenance-free, membrane diffuser sticks resist clogging and their flexibility eliminates the possibilities of cracking and leaking.

Excessive decaying organic matter (dead algae) can cause fish distress. If excessive algae is present, clean excess algae off sides before adding Algaway to reduce the amount of decay that will transpire after treatment. This is particularly important in temperatures over 75° when decay becomes even more rapid.

High temperatures cause more rapid natural decay of dead algae which can cause fish distress if present in large quantities. Ponds must be well aerated.
