Full Algae Attack Arsenal—20kg Algae Lift, 20kg Biostim Tablets, 20L Biostim Accelerator, 20L Cupricide Algaecide
Note: This bundle includes chemical, algaecide. Included in the kit are natural products that help reduce how much algaecide you need to use.
Algae Lift peels the algae from underwater surfaces and breaks down the slime layer around algae so the Cupricide Algaecide gets straight to the source–thus reducing how much chemical you need. Biostim Accelerator is used as a natural biocatalyst to accelerate the effectiveness of algaecides and herbicides. It speeds up natural degradation processes, aka it stimulates “good” bacteria to get to work faster breaking down decaying material. Otherwise, the dead algae accumulate on the bottom becoming fertiliser for next year’s algae bloom. The Biostim Tablets settle on the floor of your dam, feeding the “good microbes” enzymes and nutrients so their populations flourish. These “good” microbes eat any organic material on the floor of your dam. As well as cleaning up, this reduces the amount of nutrients (e.g. nitrogen, phosphorus) in your water body. Fewer nutrients means less food available for the things you don’t want to grow, e.g. algae and aquatic weeds.
Chemical warning: we don’t advise using a chemical like algaecide or herbicide on its own, i.e. without natural probiotics, a biocatalyst or both. The reason is the chemical kills everything it touches, the “good” microbes too. This causes a two-factor problem: (1) the dead algae decays over time adding more nutrients to your water, which is fertiliser/food for future algal blooms, and (2) there are less “good” guys than before (the survivors) to compete for this additional food. Without probiotics, you enter a slippery slide: every year you get more and more invasive algae. Algae that arrive earlier, grows faster and is more immune to chemicals. Adding probiotics helps restore the damage done by the initial kill as well as get your water into a healthier condition long-term, aka less nutrient dense from a flourishing population of “good” bacteria. Conditions that algae cannot survive in.
