A pond filled with cladaphora algae before being treated with PondZilla from Aquafix

Cladaphora are freshwater algae that grow on submerged rocks, logs and other hard surfaces. Research has linked cladaphora blooms to high phosphorus levels resulting from fertilizing lawns, poorly maintained septic systems, inadequate sewage treatment, agricultural runoff, and detergents containing phosphorus.

 

PondZilla is very effective, when used as an adjunct to an algaecide or herbacide*, at controlling filmantous bacteria in ponds such as cladophora.

 

Aquafix created PondZilla utilizing the latest in enzyme technology to degrade 30-60% of pond muck at 1/10th the cost of physical cleaning*. Pondzilla helps degrade muck and sludge in lakes and ponds by activating the muck layer and stimulating bacterial activity. It contains surface-activating agents, which liberate pond muck and allow the active ingredients to speed up nature’s natural decomposition cycle. It works particularly well in ponds with filamentous problems.

 

*While bacterial products cannot kill aquatic plant growth, when used with algaecides or herbicides, they can help restore natural balance.
