Inhibits the growth and reproduction of blanket weed.

People are concerned that a lot of the products offering a remedy use copper which acts as a poison. Although this will offer a temporary solution, copper is also toxic to fish. The other problem of poisoning or killing blanket weed is that the resulting "fall out" of dead strands will block filters and/or pumps causing a loss of filtration and therefore upsetting the vital beneficial bacteria colonies we have created and are trying to maintain. This is totally natural product that inhibits the growth of blanket weed and is harmless for all pond inhabitants including fish, frogs, filter bacteria and plants. As many of us know heavy blanket weed growth in our ponds although not a chemically dangerous problem, is unsightly and blocks our filters/pumps when it breaks off. A slight presence of nitrate/phosphate combined with a day of bright sunlight can be enough to cause a blanket weed outbreak. The growth rate of blanket weed can be vigorous and the risks associated with not controlling its growth and reproduction can be catastrophic. These range from the problem of depleted oxygen in the pond/filters to filters/pumps becoming blocked that will eventually stop functioning. Most existing products on the market are designed to kill the weed once it has formed. Blanket Weed inhibitor which is totally fish safe, simply affects the calcium structure of the blanket weed and inhibits its growth and its ability to produce reproductive spores.
