TetraPond Algae Control Controls Green Water and String Algae In Ponds, 101.4 oz.
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)

Can I use Algecide for fish tanks in his tank? There is a lot of algae growth on the rocks and on the side of the tank. Is there any other advice to help me remove it?
Our tank has turned cloudy and green.. What will help this.
My fish tank got infested with pink algae and green algae and the fish are acting lethargic and dying.
I have a 10 gallon fish tank and I have about ten fish (plattys,mollys and cat fish not algae eating) and I have algae all over my rocks. How do I get it off?
After using metronidazole 400mg×2 tablets in 75 litre aquarium tank, my two parrot fish has thread like some seeing near gills and genital area ? How to treat them ?
Can I use anti ich and anti chlorine in turtle aquarium? I have 2 red eared sliders
I have two gold fish that live in a 55 gal tank. The water is clear, but brown starts to accumulate on the inside of the glass, and on the ornaments in the tank. I have been using a few different water treatments, the water is clear. I use a sponge tank scrapper to get it off of the glass, but the ornaments are all covered with brown. Is there a fish or something else that would clean that stuff up?
I have a 26 gallon tank that is overrun with cone snails. We suck them out with every water change, but it's a losing battle. I've tried clown loaches to no avail. I think the snails are responsible for the green look to my water. Is that possible, and now can I remove them w/o tearing the entire tank down?
Why does my water turn green after 2-3 weeks? No live plants and 1 artificial log in the tank!
How often should I put Tetra dechlorinator into my 2.2 gallon fish tank with three guppies in it? I know the amount, I just need the best time in between please. Thank you!
can you use a treatment for ich as a preventative medicine in new water before you add fish to it? if so which medicine?
Is it safe to buy a UV Sterilizer Green killer filter for my turtles? The water gets dirty really fast and I've pretty much tried everything, but the algae keeps growing fast. The problem is that I've seen a lot of negative reviews on that filter, saying that it got their fish killed. Now, I've done some research on that and found out that that UV lights could damage both animals and humans, however the very few reviews that were written by turtle owners were positive. Is it totally safe?
