Review on 🐠 Enhance Your Aquarium with Ecological Labs AEL20120 Microbe Lift Barley Straw Extract Pond Conditioners, 1-Gallon by Jason Geyston

Get rid of green algae!

Barley straw is one of the key elements when it comes to cleaning a carp pond of microalgae (reduced sun exposure and low nitrate levels are two factors to consider when problems arise). The extract works very quickly, with visible results in the first few weeks and pleasantly clear water after just 4 weeks, combined with shading, weekly water changes of at least 10% (25% is ideal but not always possible) and reduced feed placed in one Pond. As mentioned at the beginning, barley straw also helps here, but it is not a miracle solution, factors such as the number of fish in the pond, the amount of water in the pond, the quality of the filtration, the maturity of the bacteria on the filters and in the pond itself, the type of Feed and the amount of daily feeding, the amount of direct sunlight, water runoff after rain and rain frequency, etc. are factors that affect the condition of the pond. behaves.
