aquaclear AquaClear Pellets Natural Bacteria Snails in Water
A customer recently contacted us regarding weed & algae control. Below is the question and our response. Question: Hi, wondering if your product can help reduce the green floating scum on the top of my “pond”, which is actually a run off easement.

The muck is from 3 inches to 3...

Hot weather prompted the DNR to warn lake goers about the potential dangers of blue-green algae. While it is not uncommon to see algae blooms in the lake area in late summer, recent hot weather has prompted a warning. Blue-green algae tends to show up in small, shallow, mucky ponds. It looks exactly like its name; “blue-green” scum that resembles pea soup or spilled paint on the water surface. It also has a strong, unpleasant, swampy odor. It can erupt suddenly and be deadly. Ninety-nine percent of green algae are harmless; a nuisance and ugly, but harmless and not ALL...
