Anti Blanket Weed

A simple additive to reduce blanket weed growth in planted ponds.

Dose guide:
You will need 100 gm for every 2700 litres ( 600 gallons ) or 1 oz per 170 gallons ( 770 litres)
Weight out the correct amount and add to a bucket of warm water ( not boiling ) stir until all dissolved.
Apply as evenly as possible across the pond, a plastic watering can is best. The water may go milky for a few days this is normal.

To start with treat every 10 days for the first month i.e. 3 times the first month.
In stubborn cases you may have to treat every 10 days for 2 months.
And then once per month after this.

Factors which may effect the results:
1) High levels of waste material in the pond. Vacuum frequently or use a net to remove waste.
2) High Nitrates. Test with a test kit and if levels are high do a water change.
3) Hardness. If the water has high levels of calcium it may take longer to work.

Important notes:
During treatment the blanket weed will die and will cause pumps and filters to clog with algae, (Take as much or the blanket weed out as you can before treating the pond.)and make sure you clean them regularly, have extra aeration as a back up. Add ABA N-1 to help the filters cope if waterquality drops.
