Pond Got the String Algae Blues ???

What is that growing in your Pond this time of year? It's hairy, or bubbly, or sometimes just like a fuzzy carpet!
In whatever form or shape it grows during the colder months, it is hard to get rid off! Most water treatments do not work well in cold water...but we will tell you a few that do:
Restor will clean those rocks and the Pond no matter the weather!
Barley Juice/Fusion will help prevent re-growth even in winter!

String Algae loves cold water and high pH

Fun (Pond) Facts

Next Spring try growing some Water Cress around the edges of your Waterfall! .....



The roots do not have to be in dirt, they just have to stay continously wet. The Water Cress will soften the edges of the rocks, make it look more natural and your Koi will nibble on the plants growing close to the surface of the pond.

Participate in our Annual Pond Survey

Results will be posted in a later posting.

Last Minute Pond Fish Nutrition before Winter

It is a challenge to make sure the fish go into the winter months with the best possible chance of survival. The importance of good nutrition cannot be overlooked considering they will not eat for several months and must live on nutrients and fat stored in their bodies. A good way to add excellent nutrients (and add them fast) in a way that can still be digested already cooled water is Microbe-Lift Fruits and Greens. Click Here for Fish Nutrition Food

Clean STRINGY, FUZZY & other GRIMY Stuff in the Garden Pond

We all know it happens this time of year: Our beautiful waterfall rocks get covered in black, sometimes fuzzy - sometimes stringy - sometimes slimy - stuff that is not so pretty to look at!

The Pond Bottom starts looking grimy - especially aggravating if it is covered with nice looking gravel or rocks.

The Pond Market has the "No Hassle" solution:

The 1-2-3 Punch:

1) "Restor" to clean pond rocks and waterfalls up without scrubbing
2) "Fizzy Kicks" to get rid of sludge and decomposing bottom stuff
3) "Barley Juice" to naturally help prevent growth of new stringy, fuzzy and grimy stuff Natural solution for old Pond problems:

Give them a try and see how wonderful they are Here!
