What should I do if my pond has heavy algae growth?

For ponds with heavy algae growth, you may need to supplement Algae Stopperz with additional treatments such as mechanical filtration or water changes.

Troubleshooting

Algae growth persists after application.

Ensure proper dosage based on pond size. Check for any additional nutrient sources contributing to algae growth, such as excessive sunlight or runoff. Consider a second dose after the initial two weeks.

Water appears cloudy.

This may be caused by the initial breakdown of the barley straw. Ensure proper aeration. If cloudiness persists, perform a partial water change.
