Microbe-Lift Algaway

ALGAWAY 5.4 Algaecide, comparable to AlgaeFix, contains the same active ingredient but is 20% more concentrated. This powerful algaecide effectively halts the growth of algae in ponds and is suitable for use in areas where fish and plants coexist. When applying ALGAWAY 5.4 in self-contained ornamental ponds and fountains without any outflow, it is advisable to remove excess algae from the walls and decorations before application. This step helps to minimize the accumulation of decaying organic matter. For fountains and small ponds housing goldfish and koi, it is recommended to treat only those without outflow after using ALGAWAY 5.4. It is essential to bear in mind that high water temperatures can accelerate the decomposition of dead algae, potentially causing distress to fish. Therefore, it is advised to either remove excess algae or apply ALGAWAY 5.4 before the water temperature reaches 75°F (24°C). Nevertheless, caution must be exercised when utilizing ALGAWAY 5.4 in ponds. Sufficient water aeration through mechanisms like waterfalls or fountains is crucial to prevent fish loss. Additionally, it is not suitable for use with snails, shrimp, crustaceans, or mollusks. To maintain desired results, it is recommended to repeat the dosage once per week. The usage guidelines for ALGAWAY 5.4 state that for every 360 gallons of water, 1 ounce of the product should be used.
