Nualgi is a highly concentrated liquid selection of micro-nutrients on a nano silica base that feed diatom algae. Diatom algae are a silica based naturally occurring algae that use the nutrients in a pond or lake so that cellulose based green and blue-green algae cannot thrive. Diatoms are clear and not visible and are consumed by zooplankton and zooplankton is food for fish. Nualgi works well in combination with beneficial bacteria such as Microbe-Lift PL.
DOSAGE: Nualgi Before and After
- 1ml per 1000 gallons diluted in 100ml of water applied once a week
Available Sizes:
- 60ml (Treats 60,000 gal)
- 125ml (Treats 125,000 gal)
- 250ml (Treats 250,000 gal)
- 500ml (Treats 500,000 gal)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Nualgi cannot be used with UV lights, Ionizers or algaecides as they kill the diatom algae.
BENEFITS OF USING NUALGI PONDS
When you supplement your regular maintenance with nualgi ponds, you will be able to:
-
WATCH YOUR POND FLOURISH – Nualgi Ponds will significantly improve water quality as well as the health of fish and plants. For many eutrophic ponds, results may be visible by afternoon on the first dose– starting with the bubbling up of oxygen, elimination of odor, and Blue Green Algae crashing and floating to the surface.
-
SEE MORE – By reducing nuisance algae growth, Nualgi Ponds improves water clarity and visibility to reveal more of the pond’s environment and its inhabitants.
-
FEED LESS – By restoring missing nutrients, Nualgi Ponds brings balance to the natural marine food chain from the bottom up by promoting the growth of diatoms and zooplankton – free food for your fish and shrimp!
-
SHOW IT OFF – Enjoy peace of mind knowing that your pond is healthy, clear, and odor-free. Friends and guests will be impressed, and we won’t tell them how easy it was to restore the natural beauty of your pond.
WHAT IS NUALGI PONDS?
Nualgi is a liquid additive containing 12 essential nutrients on a nano silica base to restore balance, improve water quality, and control nuisance algae in your pond. Nano silica is both a nutrient and a carrier that prevents the nutrients from reacting with each other.
Unlike traditional additives, Nualgi’s nano scale (measuring 5-100 nm) nutrients remain suspended for longer duration, disperse easily across the water column and are therefore “bio-available” to marine organisms.
HOW DOES NUALGI PONDS WORK?
Upon application of Nualgi Ponds, the Nano Silica base carries 12 essential nutrients to Diatom Algae which start to multiply, consuming Nitrogen and Phosphorous (from left over fish food and fish waste) and robbing the nuisance algae of these nutrients. Due to the silica shell the Diatoms photo-synthesize earlier in the day as compared to nuisance algae. Diatoms release O2 & consume CO2, thus increasing the dissolved oxygen levels. Higher DO levels help aerobic bacteria break down organic matter. Diatoms also happen to be the favorite food for Zooplankton and as they grow, Zooplankton population also grows exponentially in the pond. Finally, Zooplankton, a live food for marine life gets consumed by fish, thus completing the food chain.
