The VERY BEST Way To KILL Algae in A Pond!

Beautiful property, Joe. Great video.

Thanks Joe for the video. The last 6 weeks I have been using Captain XTR. Every 2 weeks applying as directed for my 3/4 acre pond, 1 quart to 2.5 gallons of water. At the end of the 6 weeks I started to see small results of its effects. My algae is similar but very thick green algae that blankets the surface even though I have an Airmax PS10 aeration system runing 24/7. Used Airmax algaecide with treatment booster prior with minimal results. Hoping Captain XTR will yield better results than others I have previously seen.

can you use this on small yard ponds with pumps that recirculate the water thur small water fall have no plants or fish now in it a liner pond i built

We use beneficial pond bacteria which outcompetes the algae for its food source, essentially starving the algae. Natural, safe for wildlife and livestock. It’s cheaper than algicides, ~35$ per acre at 6’ deep. Dye can help too if your water is very clear. Be careful with water fertilizers, they can cause a fish killing bloom

Copper is one of the most toxic heavy metals to fish. Though numerous studies have been carried out on the effects of copper on fish, most of them focused on the early life stages of fish in freshwater.

Will be nice you have links where to buy the chemical, you can easily put on your video description

not sure if i have my top of my pond has green pollen look to it but it’s not. I don’t know if it’s a thick algae

Plants? What about plants?
I only say that 'cause in my experience (30 years with natural in-ground ponds) where you have a natural balance of plants, animals, and water, you will not experience long, repetitive periods of 'algal bloom'. Quite likely you will get a bit in the late winter/early spring but once the established pond plants start re-growth for the coming warmer months that algae will be out-competed and die away quite quickly, almost overnight. You should never have to use a manufactured product in a natural pond...any pond for that matter.

Can these chemicals affect ducks

Do you have a recommendation for algae in a small ephemeral creek?

Lligare has discontinued the pond dye, the dye from SePRO is also not available.

Can this be done in summer with Algea already blooming? Thanks, great video.

What are the brands and names of the chemicals you used?

Isn't Algae beneficial?

Thank you for posting this helpful video

We don’t own the back 1/3 of our pond and can’t treat it accordingly how will this affect the algae?

Good video, one note caption has acid in it pretty sure you want gloves and eye pertection .

Safe for cattle?

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR GREAT 👍 INFO YOU ARE A GOD SEND 🙏 SR. LIKE I SAID THANK YOU MAN PLEASE KEEP UP THE GREAT 👍👌👏💪🙌🙏 WORK 💪 TRUELY A BEAUTIFUL 😍 PLACE BROTHER !!!!!!!!✔✔✔❤❤❤😮😊😅!!!

What if I have ducks and turtles will these chemicals harm them?

Do you have to add water to the algae killer or just pout the gallon jug in a sprayer

Our 66 acre dam was heavily overgrown. We put sterile grass carp in which was very successful. Dye, etc. wouldn't work for us because of the flow through rate. Cheers.

Good info....we need water first though! Tractor Hard!

Can you show how you spray for spiders

Great video on Algae control. A good natural way of starving out the pond Algae cover without harming the fish etc. Other channels have used this dye with excellent results too.

Lots of great information! Definitely taught me a lot!
You should do a few fishing videos this year. Hopefully, the weather will settle down for you this year! As always, thanks for sharing!

I dyed my pond Friday evening! I will send you a pic of it on facebook. My pond is a lot smaller than yours but we get the same enjoyment out of them lol :)

We too use pond dye on our 1 acre pond here in northern Tennessee. Tim

I like that saying buy once cry once. I don't how many times I've cheaped out and it's bitten me in the 🫏.

Great video! Always wondered why that pond never look dirty!! 🎣

So you just spray on the edges of your pond. Very informative video. Thanks for sharing.

The battery powered 5 gallon sprayers make life much easier.

Azomite is one of the best additives. Solar pumps and fountains do a great job.
