AquascapeDry Beneficial Bacteria for Pond and Water Features, 7-Pound | 98950,white

Worked wonders on our backyard water feature. Heavy rains and such has it all funky. This helped restore the balance and decrease the alge.

I have a natural 15,000 gallon koi pond with no UV lights. Using this once a week has been a game changer for me and maintenance. I have very little algae growth and a wonderful growing and expanding ecosystem. I never wanted UV since it kills both good and bad bacteria and I really like a natural pond. When it rains it stirs up the mud a bit but since I've been using this bacteria I've noticed a dramatic difference in the time it takes for silt to settle down. Now within 24hrs of a good rain storm, my pond is back to crystal clear even in the deepest part (which is 7 feet). Once a week I use 8 scoops mixed in a pitcher with some pond water and pour it directly into the middle of the air stone bubbles for dispersion. 2 scoops directly into the media filters. My pond before and after using the bacteria is night and day, and for me it's such an essential tool that I don't want to be without. It comes in a smaller tub which I bought for a long time, and I was happy when I found a bucket size suitable for my pond. Fish are happy, the pond itself is happy, and I'm happy. Great product guys!

Seems to be working better than other brands and at a much better price.

Great product and very helpful to keep fish happy

My pond was soupy green with no visibility and after reading multiple sites I decided I needed to add beneficial bacteria. I thought I would get results right away but after close to a week of adding some everyday I really didn’t see much improvement. So I decided to buy liquid algaecide. But before the algaecide was delivered I started seeing huge improvement and by day 10, the water in my pond was crystal clear. I’ve cut back now to once per week or after a rain storm. I never had to use the algaecide.

I have an 11,000 gallon pond with waterfall and streams, and the pump runs 24/7 for good water circulation. Last year I was constantly scooping off massive blooms of string algae that would carpet the surface of the pond, so I decided to give this a try. It comes with a small scoop so measuring is easy. Within 24 hours of the first treatment the water went from murky to clear, and suddenly I could see the bottom of the pond. I don't use any other chemicals in the pond. I've been dosing weekly now for about a month following the recommended guidelines on the bucket, and so far the string algae has been little to none - overall a HUGE improvement from last year in both appearance and time-saving by not having to clean out the algae. We'll see how the rest of the summer goes, but so far I'm very impressed.

Most recent purchase of 7lb container is ineffective at keeping my pond free of cloudy green water.I have been buying this product since 2017 for a 1300 gal pond and it has kept the water crystal clear, used along with with the bead filter. Neither bead filter nor bacteria alone alone will keep the water that clear. The bead filter is functioning perfectly so it has to be the Aquascape.My best guess is that the packaging was exposed to either heat, cold or maybe even Xray during transport which compromised the bacteria. At any rate, I have decided to move on. I would advise you stay away from the 7lb package for awhile.

Love the ease of use, and very cost effective!!Keeps pond clear!!
