Tetra Pond Water Clarifier Treatment, 16.9 oz

For a few years, we have been battling green water in a small container pond in our garden. The majority of solutions catered to large, expansive ponds, but we still tried them. We've tried microbial additives, algae-suppressing chemicals, and have changed out the water completely multiple times. Nothing worked. The blooms returned, usually within days. This worked! The algea was so thick that you couldn't see an inch down into the water. Looks like this stuff made the algea clump so the filter pad we use can actually catch it. After 2-3 days, I can see the bottom. Suspect it will be completely clear by the end of the week. If you are using this for a small container pond: (1) make sure you have a filter medium on your pump. If it's a basic pump, order some sheet filter, cut it to size and use rubber bands to secure it around the water vent. This product doesn't magically erase the algae, it just binds it so the filter can catch it. (2) Change that filter ever day or two. Attached photo is what my filter pad looked like 2-3 days after adding the clarifier. My little clawfoot bathtub pond is looking good again and my goldfish are so much happier and healthier.

I used it 4 times. Put in my first treatment, the next day, i cleaned the pump and redid one treatment, the following day the water was clearer and recleaned the pump. waited a week I was out for 4 days came back to green water retreated, the next day, cleaned the pump and retreated, to my amazement the following morning the water was crystal clear. it works but you need to retreat and clean the pump each time, you wouldn't believe it. I am thrilled with this product. Put in the work and watch the magic happen. I have Goldfish in it all were doing well.

Added to my very cloudy and murky outdoor pond one night and by the next morning it was crystal clear. Didn't harm my fish. It did clog my filter which I expected. Highly recommend.

Works great on my koi pond but really pay attention to the amount you’re suppose to use. I highly recommend using somewhat minimal amount just to be on the safe side for my koi. Also, pour the minimal amount around the waterfall or other water feature to thoroughly mix and dilute the chemical.

This past spring I used the Tetra Pond Water Clarifier in accordance with the instructions and the pond cleared and my fish were not impacted. Yesterday I used the Tetra Pond Water Clarifier in accordance with the instructions and today 80 minnows and 5 comet gold fish are dead. I was able to save the remaining minnows - about 20 and goldfish - about 23 (haven’t seen them all yet) by changing the water and doing a second clean of the two pumps and filter. This is no small feat because our pond is over 3000 gallons. I can only attribute the massive die off of fish to quality control issues with the Tetra product. Last year I started with 10 minnows and 12 goldfish so was and is a heathy pond. I wish I had paid more attention to the negative reviews.

Works perfectly! Amazing how quickly it cleared my pond, it's clear and you can actually see the bottom!

Took longer than 3 days on the bottle, and a little extra elbow grease, but my pond is clear again. Still orange, but the water is clear. This is the first Tetra product I am not loving. My pond was a green mess with algae and I bought the pond blocks and sludge tablets and within days the green was gone and I could once again see my fish and turtles. I was so happy, but my pond was now an orange-brown. I am the first to admit, I don't know very much about maintaining my pond, but I thought the pond clarifier may help with this and since the other products worked so well, might as well give it a shot. I followed the directions exactly. Pond has a water fall, so constant water aeration, and I went out several times to mix it up. As soon as I started pouring my clarifier/water bucket in I saw the water was turning milky white. No big deal, will wait and see what happens. The milky white eventually turned into a brownish color and stayed that way. Finally I did a partial water change and refilled. Today is the first day I can start to see the bottom of the pond again, though not cleared up. I cleaned the filters and my pump to make sure there was no debris on anything and trying to get it to filter out. I may need to do another partial water change. I am not happy with the results from this. I don't know what the issue could be, as I followed directions exactly. I am going to stick with the pond blocks and sludge tablets, they work great and I am happy Tetra makes them, I guess I will just have orange tinted water. On the plus side, no issues with turtles or fish. I have 3 turtles, 4 huge goldfish and a ton of mosquito fish, none were harmed in any way.

Excellent quality pond clarify product. Didn't do any harm to my fish, worked just as expected and a great price and delivered as expected. Would definitely buy again

Cleaned up the pond in just a few days . Works as advertised

Fish are very happy
