Questions & Answers

Since I have no more than 900 gallons of fish in my pond, there should be less hassle. Can this amount be sufficient for the siness is too much for the size??

There is nothing more than this amount of material. You can dye your pond for less than an ounce. Using your search engine, you'll find "Crystal Clear Pond tint" - a dye intended for small ponds.

What shelf life are ible to aquashade? do I lose use of the product by letting it sit over r product sit for a year or more does it lose it's effectiveness?

It has been on a shelf at least one year ago, and I've reordered when it's half or sometimes 2/3 empty. has observed a weakening of effectiveness.

Would aquashade plus work yting pond bacteria?

For quite some time in our pond (one acre in size), Aquashade has provided many benefits for us. Additionally, we sprinkle Muckaway on it, a beneficial bacteria that dissolves organic waste and has not adversely affected our fish.

Are you able to utilize ething pools?

Neither the bottle nor the label indicate that swimming with the product poses any danger. The chemicals used in pools can harm the body if these are placed in a swimming pool.

Selected User Reviews For Aquashade Aquatic Plant Growth Control, 1 gal, Blue

I've never seen anything like this
5/5

! Its dimensions were approximately 1/2 acre. There was an island in the middle, a bridge leading to it, and an onal pond approximately 1/2 acre in size, with an island in the middle, a bridge leading to the island, and a swimming dock. There is about a 12-foot depth at our pond. These weeds are tough: algae, cattails, azolla, some surface weeds, and filamentous weeds. With Muscrat Sam controlling all of our plant issues, we enjoyed a happy and healthy foliage environment. Towards the end of his mission, he was fired after ruining my shoreline by burrowing into the island. I tried this Aquashade with its full growth of weeds. When I made my pond teal by adding an er pond into a stunning teal color, and since then, my weeds have not died but they have not grown. This method might be perfect if it's poured on the ice in the spring, which can provide total weed control. BullFrogs and crayfish don't seem to have disappeared, even though all the other Canadians have perished as well. Considering the quality of this product and its cost, I would buy one of its colors only for the llowing for the colorant alone, but be prepared that a little goes a loooooong way. The 8/26/20 issue has been upgraded to 6/27. The first step was to apply these to the ice, before the pond melted. As long as our pond overflows, we won't be draining it anymore. Most of the Aqua Shade was removed using it. It costs us less than half of the original cost and doesn't plant any weeds. We are not growing any plants either. It's not impossible to find pickerel weeds by the shoreline in the shallows even just a few weeks after the storms. I am not intending to eradicate them, however. An application must be filed within three weeks of submitting it. In front, in the back, on the left, is a line of geese, which are not visible nor are bullFrogs and turkeys. The customer base is one I have grown over the last few years.

The most effective inert blue dye available
5/5

The type of Aquashade that reduces algae growth and submerged weed growth that we've tried reduces it as well. In spring and summer, depending on how much rainfall is experienced and the possibility of large or shallow openings, it might have to be applied several times, depending on when/if the water in the pond must be drained. No, it's not true. The animal has not been harmed; in fact, it hasn't even affected the feathers, skin or fish.

filamentous algae began producing trouble around year's end
5/5

In 2017, we had trouble with filamentsous algae. Located in our pond are 10 acres of trees. A 2 gallon sample works wonders at taking a physical pain out of your muscles. The only sign of algae so far is the lack of blooms. The dye is added about 4 weeks after the charge has been applied. In the summer months, I will add comments.

Suitable for ponds, a spray can be placed on your premises
5/5

If you own land with a pond, this is essential. A nice blue hue is produced because phosphates are neutralized when it is in use. Do not forget to wear gloves whenever adding to a pond. My hands were stained after using the product for the first time.

Keeping ponds in check by eradicating weeds is the best solution
5/5

Weeds can be controlled in ponds and small lakes using Aqua Shade. Seeing three different colors can bring tears to your eyes, especially from gallons or two. A lake of a thousand acres has water on it. In terms of treatments we've tried, nothing is as powerful as Aqua Shade, and nothing compares with it. A great many months ago when I was hesitant to use this product, I did, partly because I was concerned it would seem artificial; and partly because I was hesitant of not being sure if it would work. Look at the water as a reflection of it.

It takes both a pond and an oasis to grow in paradise!! A perfect little pond here
5/5

The process works perfectly. The pond seems more attractive and smaller since the algae that previously developed in the pond were now apparent. What better way to help these animals flourish than with aquashade. It might take a while to disperse in your pond without a fountain or pump, but by the end, it will flow there within a few days (depending on its size). Works out great!! A nation's pond looks like llage look like the Caribbean!.

Protects fish from the Blue Heron in a manner that is effective
5/5

Several ponds on our farm contain small fish as well as lots of fish. Along with the protection provided by Blue Herons, we include skewers. All we can do is hope that the Heron does not kill anything while trying to stock ponds. By turning the pond into a green, /blue color, the Aquashade gives the Heron no way to see the fish. They look great, and the fish are enjoying the water. A PRO tip: When buying new shoes. When the water level drops then pour a little Aquashade in the pond, place it in different spots. The spread of this product may take a little time, but you'll see many benefits.

There needs to be improvement in the way goods are shipped and the way products are delivered
5/5

A liquid shipping company did require customers to ship their liquids vertically, and the box's orientation will be avoided by this. There had been leaks to two containers of the four. Luckily they were packaged in plastic bags, as they were, but being a high-powered dye, sorting out their mess and repairing the damaged units was a difficult task. It really is time for Amazon to reevaluate their shipping policies. It's our habit to order this product. The quality is excellent and keeps us coming back. While it may not initially sound like much, this is the first shipment with any leaks since some have already arrived.
