Tetra Pond AlgoFin

Tetra Pond AlgoFin

Tetra Pond AlgoFin is a liquid pond algae treatment for ornamental ponds, made to tackle blanketweed, floating algae and slime algae while helping to prevent further algae growth. It suits pond owners who want to clear green water and stringy growth in a pond that holds fish, plants and microorganisms, and it comes with a dosing cap for measuring.

Key Benefits

• Combats the most prevalent pond algae types: blanketweed, floating algae and slime algae
• Helps prevent further algae growth while it works
• The algae are destroyed over a period of two to three weeks
• The special active ingredient is selectively absorbed by the algae and inhibits their ability to photosynthesise
• The included dosing cap makes precise dosing simple
• For use in ornamental ponds with fish, plants and microorganisms

How to Use

• Shake the bottle well before use, then follow the instructions below for the best possible result.
• Measure the dose with the dosing cap and distribute the liquid evenly through the pond water. A stick or similar implement works well for mixing it in.
• Remove as much algae as you can before treatment and again afterwards, using a net or stick such as the Tetra Algae Net. Dead algae impair water quality, so clearing them is an important part of the process.
• Make sure the pond has a sufficient oxygen supply and is well aerated throughout the treatment.
• Do not filter through UV clarifiers or activated carbon for at least seven days after adding the product.
• Do not carry out any water changes during the treatment, which is approximately four weeks.
• For heavy or prolific algae growth, the treatment can be repeated after approximately four weeks using half of the stated amount.

Dosage

• Add 50 ml of AlgoFin for every 1,000 litres of pond water.
• Shake well before use and distribute the product evenly in the water.
• Repeat treatment for heavy algae growth: half of the stated amount, after approximately four weeks.
