Private Wildlife Sanctuary, Queensland

Our client, the owner of a beautiful private wildlife refuge in sunny Queensland, houses a vast number of brilliant birds on their dam. They came to us with symptoms of very thick, paint-like blue green algae. This came about due to bird poop! They go to the potty more often than most other animals on our planet so excess waste falling to the bottom of the dam was destroying the water body.

These eco-friendly property owners were not going to use any chemical treatments, so they came to us to clean up the water using biological methods. An intensive program of water treatments combined with aeration swiftly removed the algae.

Today, the dam’s population of beneficial bacteria continue to keep algae starved of its nutrient supply, thereby limiting its return. Friendly bacteria = 1 Algae = 0!
