Surface Algae Attack Bundle (Small)—5L Cupricide Algaecide, 10kg Biostim Pellets, 5L Biostim Accelerator

Take decisive action against surface-algae blooms

When your dam surface turns green or slimy, you need more than just a harsh chemical fix. The Surface Algae Attack Bundle combines a precision algaecide with natural biological boosters to deliver fast knockdown, better penetration, and long-term water balance.

This professional-grade system is designed for small to medium dams and ponds suffering from surface or filamentous algae blooms, giving you a clean surface and clearer water that stays healthy for longer.

How It Works 

1. Cupricide Algaecide (5L)

An algaecide that quickly kills active surface algae and filamentous growth. It provides rapid control of visible blooms and scum.

2. Biostim Accelerator (5L)

Used together with Cupricide, the Biostim Accelerator does two critical jobs:

• Enhances Cupricide performance by breaking through the protective slime layer on algae, allowing the algaecide to penetrate deeper and work faster.

• Introduces fast-acting beneficial bacteria that immediately begin digesting dead and dying algae, preventing it from sinking to the bottom where it would otherwise turn into sludge and fertiliser for future blooms.

This dual action means you can use less Cupricide, reduce environmental load, and prevent the rebound effect that often follows chemical-only treatments.

3. Biostim Pellets (10kg)

Applied two days after chemical treatment, these slow-release probiotic pellets continue the cleanup by digesting decaying material and excess nutrients throughout the dam. They help stabilise water quality, improve clarity, and support a self-sustaining microbial ecosystem that naturally resists future algae growth.

Why This Approach Works Better

• Chemical precision + biological recovery – The first step knocks algae down fast; the second step breaks down the organic waste before it becomes a problem again.

• Reduces sludge and odour – Beneficial bacteria consume decaying algae before it reaches the bottom.

• Less copper required – The Accelerator improves Cupricide’s penetration, meaning lower dosage and reduced risk of copper build-up.

• Prevents “rebound blooms” – Biological cleanup removes the nutrient base that fuels next season’s algae.

• Healthier long-term water balance – Supports oxygen levels, microbial diversity, and overall water clarity.

Ideal For

• Lifestyle dams and ponds suffering from surface scum or filamentous mats.

• Waterbodies with recurring algae problems after past chemical treatments.

• Dam owners who want to reduce chemical dependency and maintain a healthier ecosystem.

• Livestock, wildlife, or recreational dams where ongoing water quality matters.

Application Guide

Step 1 – Apply Cupricide Algaecide and Biostim Accelerator Together

• Mix and apply both products evenly across the dam surface, following label directions.

• The Biostim Accelerator penetrates the algae’s slime coating and boosts Cupricide effectiveness.

• At the same time, it introduces beneficial bacteria that begin digesting the dead algae, preventing it from sinking and forming sludge.

• You’ll achieve better results with less Cupricide, saving cost and reducing copper load.

Step 2 – Wait 48 Hours

• Allow time for the algae to die and begin breaking down. The water may temporarily appear murky — this is normal as material lifts and breaks apart.

Step 3 – Apply Biostim Pellets

• After at least two days, scatter Biostim Pellets evenly across the surface, like feeding chickens.

• These pellets continue the biological breakdown process, consuming remaining organics and nutrients, stabilising the microbial balance, and improving water clarity.

Ongoing Care:

• Maintain good aeration and reduce nutrient inputs where possible.

• Reapply Biostim Pellets monthly for ongoing water health and clarity.

Key Benefits

• Faster, deeper algae control
• Reduced copper use
• Prevents sludge and nutrient recycling
• Stops rebound blooms
• Improves clarity and oxygen balance
• Safe for livestock and wildlife when used as directed

FAQs

Q: Why use Biostim Accelerator with Cupricide?
A: The Accelerator boosts Cupricide’s penetration through the algae’s slime layer and introduces beneficial bacteria that digest the dead algae as it dies. This prevents it from sinking and turning into sludge or fertiliser for future blooms.

Q: When should I apply Biostim Pellets?
A: Wait at least two days after the chemical treatment. The Pellets take over once most algae are dead, consuming organic residue and restoring microbial balance.

Q: Will this treatment harm fish or livestock?
A: When used at the recommended dosage, all components are safe for fish, livestock, and wildlife. Always follow label rates and avoid over-application of copper-based products. Follow the label for withholding periods.

Q: Can I use only the Cupricide without the other products?
A: Yes, you can. Search for our 'Natural Algae Attack Bundle'.
