API Pond Care AlgaeFix 473ml

API Pond Care AlgaeFix 473ml is a fast-acting liquid algaecide specifically formulated to clear and control nuisance algae growth in outdoor ponds, water gardens, and fountains.

Formulated to operate safely around goldfish, koi, and aquatic plants, API Pond Care AlgaeFix keeps water features clean and clear without interfering with natural biological filtration.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Active Algae Outbreaks: Use to clear green water, blanket weed, and string algae covering rocks, liners, and waterfalls.

• Routine Seasonal Care: Apply during warm weather or high-sunlight seasons to prevent algae spores from proliferating.

• Maintenance Prevention: Administer weekly to maintain crystal-clear water after initial treatment.

How to Use

1. Calculate your exact pond or water feature volume prior to dosing.

2. Dosage Rate: Add 5 mL per 190 L (50 US gallons) or 1/4 cup (60 mL) per 2,270 L (600 US gallons) of pond water.

3. Mix into an area of high water circulation, such as near a waterfall, fountain, or pump outflow, for even distribution

4. Frequency of Use: Apply Algaefix once a week to maintain algae control. For initial algae outbreaks, you may need to apply it more frequently, based on the severity of the algae problem.

5. Water Conditions: Best used in outdoor ponds with stagnant water or low water circulation. Make sure that the water temperature is within the range of 50°F to 85°F (10°C to 29°C) for optimal results.

6. Repeat the dose every 3 days until algae is under control (typically 3–4 applications). Water Changes: If doing a partial water change, wait at least 48 hours after applying Algaefix before changing the water to allow the product to work effectively.

7. Repeat the dose every 3 days until algae is under control (typically 3–4 applications).

8. Once controlled, transition to a preventive dosage of 1 dose per week.

Important Safety & Operating Notes

• Invertebrate Toxicity: DO NOT use with freshwater crustaceans or molluscs (such as freshwater shrimp, crabs, lobsters, or snails).

• Aeration Requirement: As dead algae decomposes, dissolved oxygen levels drop rapidly. Continuous aeration via waterfalls, air pumps, or fountains is critical during treatment, especially in warm weather.

• Synthetically Lined Features: Suitable for synthetically lined ponds and self-contained water features without outflow to natural waterways.
