Diatom algae are a silica-based, naturally occurring algae that use the nutrients in a pond or lake, preventing cellulose-based green and blue-green algae from thriving. Diatoms are clear and not visible, and they are consumed by zooplankton, which is food for fish.

Nano silica is both a nutrient and a carrier that prevents the nutrients from reacting with each other.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnlike traditional additives, Nualgi's nano-scale (measuring 5-100 nm) nutrients remain suspended for longer, disperse easily across the water column, and are therefore \"bio-available\" to marine organisms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eHow Does Nualgi Ponds Work?\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eUpon application, the nano silica base carries 12 essential nutrients to diatom algae, which start to multiply. They consume nitrogen and phosphorus (from leftover fish food and waste), robbing nuisance algae of these nutrients. Diatoms photosynthesize earlier in the day, releasing O2 and consuming CO2, thus increasing dissolved oxygen levels. Higher oxygen levels help aerobic bacteria break down organic matter. Diatoms are also a preferred food for zooplankton, which grow exponentially, forming a complete food chain when consumed by fish.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"collapsible\"\u003e \u003ch5 class=\"block-title\"\u003eWhen Should I Start Seeing the Effects of Using Nualgi Ponds?\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"block-content\"\u003eFor particularly bad cases of algae, results might be visible within hours.

If you're experiencing poor water clarity despite treatment, it may be due to high chlorine\/chloramine levels in your source water. In this case, treat your pond with an efficient dechlorinator (we recommend Novaqua). Additionally, after heavy rainfall, consider dosing with dechlorinator as a precaution.
