I have green algae on my pondless waterfall rock. Since it is not stringy, I assume it is regular algae and not string algae. I have poured an algecide in but it seems to not clean it off the rock or prevent the green algae from being on the rock. Also, how do I figure the gallons of warter in my pondless waterfall?

Using an algaecide like Oxi-Clean or EcoBlast directly on the rocks will clean up the rocks. Installing an IonGen will help with the green algae on the rocks also. If you do not physically remove the algae, the algaecide will kill it and flush down into the basin, where in a few weeks it will […]

All the rocks in our pondless waterfall were covered with brown “gunk”. Shut it down for a week, brown stuff dried up like dead leaves. Power washed everything, started is back up, looked beautiful. Three weeks later the brown “gunk” is already very noticeable. What is this stuff and is there something I can use to prevent it?

This is a form of algae. Next time when it dries off, remove it instead of washing it into the basin. Everything that you flush into the basin will have to decompose and the algae will come back. You can use an algaecide 2 times a month. We recommend Microbe-Lift Algaway 5.4. You can purchase […]

My customer wants to add chlorine tablets to her pond to get rid of the algae she has building up. The pond is in direct sun and she is tired of seeing all the algae. She has fish in the pond, but doesn’t care if she has to get rid of them to add the chlorine. Is this safe to add even though she has plants in pond? Also can she add chlorine and still keep the fish? Any help would be great. Thank you.

Chlorine is deadly to fish and some plants. Check out the IonGen for maintaining the string algae and always add bacteria to a pond throughout the growing season.

I have a pondless Waterfall. The waterfall rock has green slime (algae I assume) on it. How do I get rid of it? I am letting pondless waterfall run through the winter. I also put clokrine one time in it assuming it would help, but it just wound up foaming.

The green slime is string algae. String Algae is more prevalent in the spring and fall and in areas of the country where the winter has been warm. Your choice is to ignore it, use an Algaecide such as Algaeway, manually clean off the algae from the waterfall with an Algaecide like EcoBlast, or in […]

Use the EcoBlast on the rocks. Pull off the algae and then treat the rocks. Or turn off and let the sun bake the algae off. Remove it and don’t let it get into your basin. Or use MicrobeLift Algae way 5.4 on a regular gasin.

You could do a water exchange no more between 10 and 20%. Use a detoxifier if you use tap water. You have to use a bacteria in your pond to keep the ecosystem balance. A good ecosystem in a pond would consists of rocks and gravel, filtration system, a balanced number of fish, and plants. […]

I have been using Beneficial Bacteria for Ponds which has been working effectively. However, seems that muck is accumulating now. Is is safe for fish and plants to use Muck Reducer and the bacteria together? It is safe. Muck Reducer is a bacteria based product. Let me restate my question. How do I kill the brown algae, that is in our holding tank (600 Gallons)? We have a pondless waterfall.

My pond water was clear until fall leaves fell into the water. Now I have dark stained water – coffee color. It is to cool for an Algie bloom. Any idea how to clear up this water?

/in

When the leaves fall into the pond, they have to decompose and if there are a lot of them because of their organic makeup, the process could change the color of the water to brownish. To avoid this from happening, use a pond net to keep the leaves out. If you could use a fish […]
