Questions & Answers
4 Customer Questions
My cat and dog sometimes drink out of my pond will this hurt them now?
Answer by • Jun 08, 2021
All of API products are safe for outdoor use and if any animal/wildlife comes up for a drink or swim in a treated pond, as long it is dosed accordingly to the directions.
Does this contain bacteria and algaecide? Can I use this product instead of Algaefix? Also, if I use this *with* Algaefix, will that overdose the tank?
Answer by • Sep 08, 2020
Microbial Algae Clean is a bacterial supplement and Algaefix is an algaecide. They can used together with no adverse effects.
Is this product safe for a bird bath water fountain?

API Pondcare Microbial Algae Clean Green Water Biological Inhibitor
This is the same algae cleaner we've been using for years. However, this one hasn't lived up to the same ones in the past years. It does ok.

Gets rid of the green!
Bought this for a friend - she has the greenest pond I have ever seen - she used this as directed and the fish can be seen for the first time in years!

Coincidence?
I have a fountain and pond, both with goldfish. I treated the water in both, and had fish jump out of both. The algae is still growing in the fountain, so I am not sure of the effectiveness.
