I've worked with a variety of conservation organizations, and I must warn you that stream-fed ponds are generally not recommended because streams carry a lot of toxic run-off from animals, such as feces, which can kill a pond. If you have fish in your pond, it is possible that they will become ill, as well as the water. Make sure you're using a good natural bacteria to treat your pond, and that the pond dye you're using is both plant and animal safe. It is non-toxic and can be used in both agricultural and recreational ponds. Good luck, and remember that spring-fed ponds are always better than stream-fed ponds.

Let's get this party started, shall we? This isn't one of my proudest achievements. Return to the Koi pond, very excited, give the bottle a little shake, open it to find a foil seal, no problem, push finger right through it, big problem now, the dye that was obviously on the other side of that foil has now turned my finger an extreme color of blue, and in my haste, I managed to smear it around my hand a little. Now comes the fun part: I tried WD40 first, which didn't work, then Goop, which didn't work, and finally gasoline, which didn't work either. Now I'm really concerned, so I dash to the house and retrieve a small pumice stone with a finger nail brush attached, as well as some industrial comet cleaner. I'm finally clean of the stuff after a good half hour of scrubbing as hard as I could to remove the top few layers of skin. Return to the pond; the directions say a quart will fill an acre pond 4 to 6 feet deep; we have a 1,400 gallon pond, so I figured I'd be safe and put about a teaspoon into the pump area; within seconds, the waterfall is spewing the bluest colored water I've ever seen. I waited about a half hour, the water was extremely blue, so blue that I was afraid of what the wife would say, I could barely see the fish, and boy do they look blue as well. It gets better: when I went to replace the filters, I grabbed one right next to the pump area where I poured the dye, pulled it up, and the dye was still in its original form on the filter. Back to the house for a second half-hour of cleaning. First and foremost, wear gloves when handling this product. For smaller ponds, start with a very small dose and work your way up. However, it does exactly what it claims to do; if you enjoy blue water, you will enjoy it!.
At first, I thought I'd only lost a hundred dollars. All four bottles were poured around the edge of my 1. As evenly as possible, spread out the 5 acre pond. I didn't expect the water to disperse in the advertised 24 hours, and I certainly didn't expect it to take a full week. My pond is quite deep on one end, but I figured that if one quart of this equaled one gallon of the other stuff, I'd be fine. especially since there were two of them. a total of 5 gallons of non-alcoholic beverage The water color gradually changed to the advertised color after a week or so of concentrated dye. br>br> kind of. Keep in mind that I didn't want a cobalt blue pond in the first place. I was looking for a soft blue, and I found it. Again, the deep end of my pond is likely 30 feet deep. As a result, it's understandable that dispersal would take some time. Also, here are the results of my 1. A pond with a surface area of 5 acres is unlikely to be identical to another with a similar size. Before the end of the summer, I'll most likely purchase more.
My pond has a depth of a little more than two feet. With an average depth of 8 feet, the area is 4 acres. Milkwort, duckweed, and a few other plants have completely overwhelmed me. This is a pond that has been around for quite some time. I used to spend my free time before I went to college. During the garden season, I tried to control weeds by spraying copper sulfate and diquat. br>br>Fertilizer was always suggested by the old heads. I believe that if there aren't enough nutrients for a weed to grow, it will die. I used small pond strips and pool test kits to do some water testing. When it came time to harvest my garden, the weeds started to get out of hand. I used 2 quarts, and after a month, I'm pleased with the results. Weed growth has come to a halt and has gone backwards. I can fish without seeing the bottom because the water is sufficiently stained. br>br>I'm anticipating two more applications this season, as well as some additional raking, and my grass caro will be under control by next year. My pond is home to catfish, shell cracker, largemouth bass, bluegill, black crappy, and 24 sterile grass carp. br>br>I'm a frugal person. So, as you apply this product, keep in mind that you can pour it all in and then add water to the container to get more dye out. Just keep in mind that you will get some on you. You won't get hurt, but you'll get some blue on your skin that won't go away. br>br>The pond is attractive, and I've caught a couple of 8-pound fish this year. Now that the spring garden is finished, I'll be able to assess how well it was completed.
This product is extremely concentrated and does exactly what it says it will. For years, I've purchased pond dye from a specific Michigan vendor. I lost track of the cost and reasoned that ordering from Pond experts would be a better deal. My assumptions were incorrect. The only difference between this product and the one I ordered previously is the price, which was higher even with free shipping. The price difference isn't significant, but I'll stick with the other Guy and order from him the next time because this stuff not only makes water blue, but it also keeps vegetation at bay. It's all good. Oh, and stay away from your skin!.
It's fantastic! My two ponds are blue, which is a far cry from the brown they usually are. I have fish as well, and it appears that this has no effect on them. For several years, I've been using this product. Depending on the amount of rain, I may need to apply a few times a year. Please keep in mind that my ponds are in a pasture and rely on run-off. away from the rain.
I've mostly used the dyes that come in 1 gallon containers, and I really like them. I was skeptical of the 4x concentrate at first, but it exceeded my expectations. I have a 1/4-acre pond that I have been dyeing for the past three years, primarily from early spring to late fall. On 8/5, I poured 8 oz, then 8 oz again on 9/5. The concentrate from the gallon containers was starting to fade out at this point, but it still had a nice tint. I'll wait a month to see how it looks, but I'm planning on ordering more soon. It is also less expensive than purchasing a gallon of milk. Win, win!.
This is fantastic! Definitely a blue color! Begin small and work your way up. It's never too late to add some more! After a month or month and a half, it starts to fade. Which was good for me the first time because I had it way too blue for my taste. I would start with about a tsp and add a little at a time until you achieve the desired color in my 1000 gallon pond! It's really good.
