Algae and Blanket Weed
Blanket weed – also known as string, hair, thread, or filamentous algae – is one of the most common and aggressive types of algae. Easily identified by its long, green strands that can grow several meters in length, often forming dense floating mats on the surface.
If left untreated, blanket weed and algae growth can lead to serious issues such as oxygen depletion, unstable pH levels, excessive silt build-up, and even harm to aquatic life.
For the treatment of algae and blanket weed we offer the following products:
Phoslock is an effective solution for restoring ponds overwhelmed by algae. By binding with excess phosphorus—the primary nutrient fueling algal blooms—Phoslock reduces nutrient levels, allowing larger aquatic plants to flourish. These plants further absorb phosphorus and provide essential food and habitat for diverse wildlife. Additionally, Phoslock can enhance water clarity in fishponds by diminishing the green tint caused by excessive algae. More information on Phoslock can be found here
Peridox kills the algae in hours by oxidising the algae cells directly. The treatment does not affect the essential microfauna and plants in the lake and has the additional benefit of providing a temporary oxygen boost to the water. More information on Peridox can be found here
Healthy Lakes and Ponds
Maintaining a healthy, stabilised lake, improving the pH balance and incorporating essential minerals back into the water is a key element to prevent the build up of aquatic weed growth, algae and a build up of silt.
OptiLake is an essential pH/kH corrector that works by providing the minerals that natural cleaning plants and microbes need to thrive. These plants and microbes are then able to absorb the algae producing nutrients more efficiently and speed up the breakdown of organic waste. In addition OptiLake is able to bind potentially toxic materials such as nickel and lead resulting in a much cleaner water body.
Silt/Sediment Build Up
When dead leaves and other organic matter break down in lakes, ponds, or rivers, they form silt that builds up on the bottom. Over time, this can make the water shallower and increase the risk of flooding. The decomposition process also uses up oxygen and releases nutrients, which can lead to algae blooms, bad smells, and eventually even the loss of the water body if left unchecked. So, regularly removing silt is essential to keep these ecosystems healthy and functioning.
Prevention is always better than cure and by periodic dosing of SchlixX silt can be prevented from ever becoming a problem. SchlixX releases oxygen into the silt which leads to two effects: The phosphate is bonded and the micro-organisms that are naturally present use the oxygen to decompose the organic matter in the silt which in turn reduces silt levels.
Testing prior to application is recommended.
Phosphates
While a degree of phosphate is an essential part of the balance of any water body an abundance of nutrients in a lake or pond can lead to high levels of phosphates which can, in turn, lead to algae blooms and low oxygen levels.
To re-balance the excess phosphate in your lake or pond SeDox can be applied. SeDox works by sinking through the water column collecting the nutrient phosphate and binding into a crystalline structure that renders it unusable to algae and preventing its growth.
