Algaway 5.4 Algaecide – Microbe-Lift

Product details

Algaway 5.4 Algaecide – Microbe-Lift is an algaecide intended to help control algae growth in self-contained ornamental ponds and fountains where there is no outflow. It’s commonly used when algae—such as string algae and other persistent growth—has taken hold, and you want to treat the water to help stop further algae development. In practical use, it’s applied to ponds/fountains that will remain self-contained after treatment, and excess algae can be removed beforehand to reduce the amount of decaying organic matter.

Features:

• Designed to help stop algae growth and control ongoing algae problems
• Suitable for self-contained ornamental ponds and fountains without any outflow after treatment
• For heavy algae, removing excess algae from sides and ornaments before treatment can help reduce decaying organic matter
• For fountains and small ponds with goldfish and koi, treat only systems with no outflow after treatment
• High water temperatures can increase the speed of natural decay of dead algae, which may affect fish—follow temperature guidance provided by the product instructions
• Requires continuous aeration (e.g., from a waterfall, fountain, or other aeration method) to help prevent fish loss
• Not safe for use with snails, shrimp, and other crustaceans or mollusks
