Troubleshooting
Green water does not clear quickly.
Ensure you have calculated the correct pond volume and used the appropriate dosage. Very heavy algae blooms may require multiple treatments. Check for other contributing factors like excess fish food or plant nutrients. Algae clumps may take time to settle.
Fish appear stressed after application.
Ensure the product was mixed and dispersed properly and not poured directly onto fish. Good aeration is crucial during treatment. If stress persists, increase water aeration or perform a partial water change.
Algae is still growing after treatment.
Confirm you are following the recommended treatment schedule (twice a week for two weeks). Algae may be fueled by external factors not addressed by the product, such as excessive sunlight, nutrient runoff, or overstocking. Consider reducing fish feeding and improving filtration.
