I am a professional landscaper. love your website and am new at water scapes. I have a 300gal pond and am wondering if you can add too much beneficial bacteria and too much barley? I have a mini barley bale and using barley liquid weekly. Also just starting using the eco-carbon as my pond was tea colored. I am also using the bacteria weekly as well as the s.a.p every two weeks.

Have you read our Pond Tips? To have a completely balance pond, you need fish, plants, rocks, and filters. You cannot add too much bacteria. But I am concerned about the brown water. The barley can cause the water to go brown and the other reason might be that you have some run off from […]

We installed a pond, appx. 20,000 gls. last year. We installed the Ion-Gen filter with the pond. The customer wants to know about the replacement duration for the probes. I told him the indicator light should indicate when they need replacing. Any other information I can share with him?

There are two videos about the IonGen on our site. Look for the videos in our gallery. The life of a probe all depends on the pond owner’s use of the IonGen and the settings. The higher the setting the more probe use there might be. There are many variables that come into play with […]

I have an Aquascapes water feature that has an algae problem. It is just green water and build up on rocks. There is no floating algae. Which algaecide should I use to control this green water and have clearer water?

There are two kinds of algae; green water and string algae. Your pond needs balance and the way to get your ecosystem balanced is the use of beneficial bacteria on a regular treatment program during growing season and the use of plants, rocks and filtration in your pond.
