SMALL
ORNAMENTAL
POND
Biological
Treatment
Summary
The
Situation
"I'm
plagued
with
a problem
with
algae
in my
outdoor
pond.
I have
heard
that
your
product
Aquaculture
does
a decent
job
of control
algae.
Is this
true?"
The
owner
of this
pond
was
experiencing
continual
organic
loading
problems
in his
outdoor
pond.
His
water
was
"pea
soup"
and
he could
not
see
his
fish.
His
1,000-gallon
pond
contained
goldfish
and
aquatic
plants.
The
pond
had
a two-chamber
sponge
filter,
UV-filter,
and
finally
a bio-filter.
The
Solution
Bio-Form LLC
recommended
the
pond
be treated
with
BZT®
Aquaculture
and
provided
seed,
intensive
maintenance,
and
regular
maintenance
application
rates.
Intensive
maintenance
were
applied
until
the
organic
load
had
subsided.
The
UV filter
was
turned
off
before
the
seed
application
and
remained
off
for
24 hours.
The
Results
The
customer
noticed
a "significant
reduction
in the
sludge
buildup
in his
biofilter.
He thought
this
was
"good"
sludge,
and
became
alarmed.
This
sludge
was
actually
a buildup
of dead
organic
matter
and
non-beneficial
organisms
that
prevented
his
biofilter
from
performing
adequately.
In a
few
more
days
the
pond
problems
were
noticeably
subsiding.
After
several
weeks
of maintenance,
the
pond
cleared
completely,
resulting
in a
very
satisfied
customer.
"The
pond
is beautiful
and
clear
thx
to your
product.
The
reviews
were
dead
on."
