For example, a pond measuring 4 m × 2 m × 1 m holds 8,000 litres and needs 80g, which is 8 level measures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it harm my koi or the birds that visit my garden pond?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. Koi Life states it is harmless to fish, birds, invertebrates and other pond life, and safe for most water plants when used as indicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it in a still pond or bird bath with no pump?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. The product must not be used in ponds that have no circulation, and the pond should be well aerated during treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow often should I treat my pond?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt can be used every 3–4 weeks to help maintain a clear pond. Regular maintenance dosing is useful through the warmer months, when strong sun encourages algae growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does it matter that it contains enzymes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAs algae dies off, it decays and can raise ammonia levels. The enzymes help boost your filter and condition the water to help prevent that ammonia build-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich size should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMatch the size to your pond volume. The 200g size treats 20,000 litres and the 1kg size treats 100,000 litres. Larger ponds, or ponds you plan to treat every 3–4 weeks, will go through more product.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AQUAZOI","offers":[{"title":"200g","offer_id":39287051518006,"sku":"6000055000004","price":169.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":39287051550774,"sku":"6000054900008","price":695.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0151\/9016\/3510\/products\/koi-life-algae-control-200g-pond-water-feature-algae-treatment.jpg?v=1743715510","url":"https:\/\/jungleaquatics.com\/products\/koi-life-algae-control","provider":"Jungle Aquatics Pet Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
