Effective Algae Prevention Techniques for a Clean and Healthy Pond
Algae is a very common problem throughout Canadian ponds. If not treated early it can quickly turn your beautiful healthy pond into an overgrown slough. However, algae is very treatable! Both proactively (which is preferred) and reactively, algae can be managed!
Algae Prevention
Preventative algae treatment is easy, economical and low-maintenance. Algae prevention is also far more economical that treating it after it has taken over your pond.
In 20 years of running a fish farm, we have discovered the formula to prevent algae. Daunting as it seems, algae prevention is simple and manageable.
Aeration is key!
Water circulation makes it difficult for algae to grow
Oxygen prompts growth of good bacteria which limits algae growth
Reduces phosphates (the main food of algae)
Pond Dye: Unexpected algae control
Pond dye is a simple preventative measure as it blocks sunlight into the water, making it difficult for algae and weeds to grow. The darker the better!
