Ecosystems EcoBlast Algae Control

How Does It Work?

EcoBlast is not a bacteria based product. It is a hydrogen-peroxide powder base that activates when it hits a wet surface. It causes the cellular walls of the Algae to breakdown and release from the rocks.  You will have to physically remove the loose algae from the water either by use of a skimmer or a net. 

• EcoBlast™ is Aquascape’s #1 treatment for breaking down debris!
• Quickly start using EcoBlast™ to spot treat the trouble areas in the pond and follow up with S.A.B.™ Extreme on a monthly basis to help keep it clear!
• Fast Acting!
• EcoBlast™ is not temperature sensitive and can be used during colder temperatures.
• 100% safe for fish (with scales).
• NOTE: It is not for use with scale-less fish and can damage their outer skin if direct contact with the product is made.Take care not to sprinkle the product on these types of fish during treatment.  Consumption of these fish after an application will cause no ill effects to other fish or humans.

Calculations for Water Volume of Ponds , Streams & Waterfalls

Pond Water Volume

(Length x Width x Average Depth) x 7.48 = Water Volume of Pond in gallons

1 cubic ft. = 7.48 gallons of water

Example:  Pond Measures:  11’L x16’W x 2’AD

(11'L x 16'W x 2'AD) x 7.48 = 2,634 Gallons of water

(The addition of rocks and gravel will lessen the actual water volume beacuse of displacement)

Water Volume in a Stream

(Length x Width x Depth) x 7.78 = Water Volume of Stream in Gallons

Example: Stream Measures: 15'L x 3'W x 2"D

First Calculate Depth in feet not inches: 1" = 0.12'  so ... 2"D = 0.24'D

(15'L x 3"W x 0.24'D) x 7.48 = 81 Gallons of Water

Water Volume in Waterfalls = Same as Streams
