Questions & Answers

7 Customer Questions


can it be used in a 30 gal aquarium and how to measure it?

Answer by ChewySep 27, 2021
This treatment is suitable for use in aquariums, fountains, stock tanks and watering troughs.

Does this product have a strong sour odor? Any odor?

Answer by ChewyJul 12, 2021
This pond treatment has a strong odor since it contains straw that has been decomposed.

I know this product says that other creatures will not be harmed by it- does that include dogs that may drink the pond water?

Answer by ChewyApr 26, 2023
This extract works naturally to keep water clear and is harmless to fish, plants and animals (including dogs or other animals who may drink the water).

What is the dosage for treatment.

Answer by ChewyJul 18, 2021
Please reference the image for the proper dosages. Barley straw extract may be used at any time but best results have been reported by people starting in early spring when the water temperature is low. Barley straw extract should be used weekly to help maintain pond clarity.

We have had a medium sized outdoor pond with fish in full sun for about 10 years and every year it becomes green soup. I have tried various remedies (shade cloth, floating plants, barley bundles, algae clear, clumping agents, massive water changes, etc). This additive isn't the only thing we changed this year so I can't say its a miracle cure but I believe it has contributed. What we changed this year: -Religiously added this supplement every week since late winter -Increased the water flow via larger pump on our waterfall. -Two ~25% water changes (one during spring cleaning, one on accident when a line broke and the pond started emptying itself) -ZERO water clarifiers or algae killers We have perfect clarity and the fish are thriving. My filter is no longer clogging with algae. No negative effects on the plants and I have not noticed a smell as other have mentioned. The additive itself has a bit of a smell but once I dump it into the waterfall I can't smell it.

Didn't clear up the fountain water....

I'll try it again this coming year. Hopefully I'll have better luck.

I received the barley straw extract a couple of days ago and when I opened the bottle it smelled liked something had died. Noxious. I added a little to the pond anyway because we’re having an algal bloom in the koi pond and were desperate. No results at all. Water still cloudy. I’ve bought and used a different brand of barley extract in the past and had excellent results. Won’t buy this brand again.

Barley Extract for Pond

I thought it would work a little better. Maybe my water was a little worse, or more concentrated because of drought and evaporation.

The smell

This may be a good product. We just could not handle smell in small patio water feature.

Still too early to tell

I totally expect this product to work but too early to give it all five stars.
