About API Pond Algaefix

Why Use API POND ALGAEFIX Algae Control?

Algae growth can appear as “green water” blooms, “pea-green soup”, filamentous algae on plants, or as floating mats known as blanket weed. Algae grows when there are excess nutrients in the water—usually in spring prior to plant growth or during summer in direct sun. API POND ALGAEFIX Algae Control works quickly to control algae growth and keep ponds, water gardens and fountains clean and clear.

Controls Most Types of Algae

Before Using

Make sure your pond has vigorous aeration 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, oxygen may drop to harmful levels without adequate aeration. Pond water also carries much less oxygen in warm weather.

Algae Types

API POND ALGAEFIX helps control three main types of algae:

1.    Green Water Algae (Chlorella)

2.    String or Hair Algae (Cladophora)

3.    Blanket Weed (Oedogonium)

How to Use API POND ALGAEFIX Algae Control

Treating your pond to control algae is simple. For best results, be sure to read and follow all label directions.

Step 1

Vigorous 24-hour aeration is required during treatment. Do not shut off pond pumps or aeration devices at night.

Step 2

Remove as much algae as you can by hand before treating your pond.

Step 3

Disperse API POND ALGAEFIX evenly around the pond and thoroughly mix it into the water. DO NOT OVERDOSE.

Step 4

As algae dies off, remove as much of the dying algae as possible.

Calculate Pond Volume Before Use

To ensure accurate dosing, determine your pond’s volume and then use the dosing chart to figure out how much API POND ALGAEFIX to use. For square and rectangular ponds: avg. length (feet) x avg. width (feet) x avg. depth (feet) = cubic feet of water. Cubic feet of water x 7.5 = volume in U.S. gallons. For round ponds: top diameter (feet) x bottom diameter (feet) x height (feet) x 0.785 x 7.5 = volume in gallons.

Will this hurt my out side dogs they drink out of my pond
Answer by ChewyJul 03, 2019
It is safe for any wildlife or domestic animals to take a drink or swim in treated water as long as the dosage is correct for the volume of water being treated.

Can this be used in concrete fountains - uncoated and coated?
Answer by ChewyJul 06, 2017
API PondCare Algaefix Algicide is for synthetically lined pond and fountain use only.

How much Algaefix Algicide is needed per gallon. Our pond is approximately 1,000 gallons. This will help determine how much we need to order. Ty
Answer by ChewyDec 21, 2017
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.

Hello! Should AlgaeFix and the sludge remover (EcoFix, I believe) be used at the same time, or should the sludge remover be added after all the Algaefix treatments are completed? Thank you!
Answer by ChewyApr 20, 2018
It is best to use this supplement on it's own until the algae is controlled.

clears water

this is hands down the best way to clear up algae. follow the directions! dont add more thinking it will work faster. it will, and it will kill your fish and plants you want. take the time to do it right, it clears up water and fish and plants you love thrive. but read the label, know your pond water volume and measure. i have been using this for 10 yrs or more now. start in spring, get on top of it, then occasionally add as needed , if needed in summer to fall.

Don't use of animals drink

It helped clear algae from my pond,but at the cost of all the animals I take care of suddenly no longer using it. They refuse to drink (or swim) and have gotten to climbing the bird bath instead of my 15x22' pond.:/ Built just for them. Used this with another of the company's algae product. Stated safe for animals. They're telling me different. Attaching a pic from before I used product. They used to love the pond before the second dose of this stuff. And a night vision shot of how desperate the raccoons are after I put in this stuff. Sucks

API POND ALGY FIX

We have used this product for a long time. We are very pleased with how it helps.

Do your research

While this did kill the algae, we also lost fish. There's a warning about oxygen levels dropping while using this product, which is the likely cause of death. With more research and perhaps professional opinion, this may have worked as intended without any losses.
