For larger ponds, round out volume to closest hundred gallons and add volumes with corresponding dosages to get approximate total.
EXAMPLE FOR 23,000 GALLON POND:
Double the dosage for a 10,000 gallon pond and then add the dosage for a 3,000 gallon pond. (10,000 gallons + 10,000 gallons + 3,000 gallons = 23,000 gallons / Dosage for first week: 6 oz. + 6 oz. + 3 oz. = 15 oz.)

I have utilized this product in my 'show quality' koi pond for the past five years. Without question, the water quality is enhanced by the use of the Microbe-Lift Concentrated Barley Straw Extract. It's ease of use is wonderful.

In ornamental ponds, algae problems are typically due to high phosphate levels from excess fish waste, fertilizer run-off, decaying plant matter, and an overabundance of nutrients in the water used to fill the pond. Learn more here.
