API Pond Algaefix is a powerful water treatment that helps keep algae growth under control for your underwater sidekicks. It's specially designed for areas where the water is contained without any outflow like synthetically lined ponds, water gardens and fountains. This fast-acting algicide is effective for many types of algae including green or green water algae, string or hair algae and blanketweed in ornamental ponds. So, help keep your water clean and clear for your favorite finned friends with API's solutions.
Key Benefits- Effectively controls green water algae, string or hair algae and blanketweed in ornamental ponds.
- Helps keep ponds, water gardens and ponds clean and clear.
- Algaecide controls existing algae and helps resolve additional algae blooms.
- This algae solution is safe for live plants and pond fish.
- Do not use with freshwater crustaceans, including shrimp, crabs and lobsters.
For synthetically lined pond and fountain use only, where all water is contained without any outflow. Before using, make certain that the pond has vigorous aeration, i.e. a fountain or aeration device to avoid fish loss due to low oxygen levels. When algae is controlled and removed by the filter or settles to the bottom of the pond, the oxygen level may drop to harmful levels if adequate aeration is not provided. In warm weather, pond water carries much less oxygen. Therefore, when using during warm weather and high water temperatures, vigorous, 24 hour aeration is required for the duration of the treatment. Do not shut off pond pumps and aeration devices at night. Caution: Do not use with freshwater crustaceans, including: shrimp, crabs, and lobsters.
HAZARDS TO HUMANS & ANIMALS: Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through the skin. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.

Product FormLiquid
To ensure accurate dosing, determine pond volume before use. Add 1 teaspoon for each 50 US gallons of pond/fountain water or 1/4 cup for each 600 gallons of pond or fountain water. Thoroughly mix into pond water by adding near the pump outflow, waterfall, or aeration device. It can be mixed in a bucket of pond/fountain water and dispersed evenly around the pond. Repeat dose every 3 days until algae is controlled. Be prepared to siphon out dead filamentous algae. Once algae growth is under control, add one dose per week. Weekly treatments will control algal growth and reduce pond maintenance.
Should API ALGAEFIX and ECOFIX be used at the same time, or should sludge remover be added after all the API ALGAEFIX treatments are completed?
It is best to use API ALGAEFIX on its own until algae is under control.
How much API ALGAEFIX is needed per gallon?

Outstanding purchase
By cdavis5534 on Jul 11, 2021
I was amazed at the purchase I made for some very expensive pond algae preventer. Algaefix is the best product I have found to prevent algae growth in our pond. We have a 10,000 gallon pond so we go thru a lot of this stuff. When I found it online at Chewy the price was not to be believed! I saved a bundle and they shipped it in a day! I will always check Chewy's prices now before I purchase anything for my pond!!!

Nothing at All
By Rosa on Jul 16, 2021
It literally did nothing. I mean absolutely nothing, not even when double dosed and give more time the directions state to work. Kind of feel it made it worse.

Didn’t do the job
By Katiej on Jun 11, 2021
I’ve been applying this to my pond as directed for a few weeks now and have not noticed any difference in algae growth. The only reason I gave two stars is because it didn’t kill my koi fish.

I have been using this Algaefix product for some years now, and it really helps keep the algae in my ponds under control, and keeps it from taking over. This is a good price. I looked everywhere and could not find It less expensive anywhere. Chewy is a good place to buy.
