Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
Tetra Pond Algae Control is formulated to effectively control algae blooms (green water), string and hair algae (spirogyra) and blanket weed (oedosonium) in fountains and ornamental ponds with synthetic liners. When used as directed, Tetra Pond Algae Control can be used with plants and ornamental fish. Before using this product, dislodge string algae off stones with a high-pressure hose nozzle and scoop out with a fish net or pond vacuum. Ensure your pond is well aerated. See the product label for complete directions for treatment. Algae are primitive plants that, via photosynthesis, combine water and carbon dioxide to form sugars for energy and growth. Algae can obscure colorful fish and deplete valuable oxygen. No pond is ever totally free of algae, but in a balanced environment and with the right treatment methods, algae can be kept in check.
- - Controls algae: Liquid formula effectively combats green water, string and hair algae, and blanket weed to keep pond water clear.
- - For ornamental ponds & fountains: Use only in fountains and established ponds with synthetic liners.
- - Safe for plants & ornamental fish: Use with live plants and fish in ornamental outdoor ponds when used as directed.
- - Usage: Use 10 mL for every 120 gallons of pond water.

Questions
Is this product safe to use in a blue poly trough made into a pond
- We have not tested it on that particular material so cannot confirm it will not stain it.

I have a water feature with fountain at the top, a 20' long stream, smallish pond at the bottom, no fish. EPDM liner. Water is clear but so much string algae! Is this the product I should be using?
- Yes. Remove what you can by hand first. Easiest way is to take a stick or broom handle, and pull it through the algae, twirling it around to twist it around the stick. Then add the Algae Control, wait 72 hours, do a partial water change, and treat again. Good luck!

I have a small pond for a RES turtle. Is it safe to use with turtle in there? Should I plan on having turtle relocated until water clears?
- I use it with my big gold fish swimming in the pond during a treatment and he has never seemed to have a single problem or complaint...but again, he is not a turtle? It's only my personal opinion that he should be fine if u treat and don't remove him from the area tho...but rememberI am not completely certain of it. (But the fish has been through at least a dozen treatments and is just fine )

What product would you recommend?
- I would use the algae control after cleaning thoroughly with a mild bleach and water mixture, and wash until bleach smell is gone. This worked for us with our pond.

I have a 12 x 15 foot pond. A 6x5 smaller pond serves as a filter (all man made with rubber liner)
