The Problem - Blanket Weed

Blanket weed is a widespread nuisance for most pond keepers. Characteristically blanket weed spreads in the form of long filaments and quickly covers the water surface with a woven filamentous growth.

Blanket weed grows fast under sunshine, especially in ornamental ponds with fish.

Pond keepers overfeed the fish causing additional nutrients (nitrates and ammonia) to leach into the ponds in the form of uneaten fish food and excessive fish excrement.

If left unchecked, blanket weed may cause severe oxygen depletion in a water body when it dies off.

It can also creating stress for the larger fish by hindering their movement.

Pond keepers sometimes pull out the live blanket weed manually; this results in shedding of numerous spores within the water.

The spores eventually grow and blanket weed returns in a rather severe form covering even larger water surface.

The Solution - Hydra Quartz

Hydra Quartz is a highly effective treatment to get rid of blanket weed. Product constituents include natural minerals and sequestrants.

Hydra Quartz starves the blanket weed by absorbing the nutrients on which the weed survives.

The growth dies off normally within two to three days, after which it could be safely removed without the risk of releasing spores into the water.

How Does Hydra Quartz Work

During treatment ensure the minimum of 8-10% DO (dissolved oxygen).

Use aeration by water pump or air pump, remember blanket weed/algae is adding oxygen to your water, therefore removing it will lower your oxygen level.

When treating allow plenty of time to observe fish in case of adverse reaction.
