Nualgi is a highly concentrated liquid selection of micro-nutrients on a nano silica base that feeds diatom algae. 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. Nualgi works well in combination with beneficial bacteria such as Microbe-Lift PL.
Dosage: 
1ml per 1000 gallons, diluted in 100ml of water, applied once a week.
- 60ml (Treats 60,000 gal)
- 125ml (Treats 125,000 gal)
- 250ml (Treats 250,000 gal)
- 500ml (Treats 500,000 gal)
- 1L (Treats 2,000,000 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 the 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, revealing more of the pond's environment and its inhabitants.
- FEED LESS – By restoring missing nutrients, Nualgi Ponds balances the natural marine food chain 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 you can enjoy your pond without the stress.
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, disperse easily across the water column, and are therefore "bio-available" to marine organisms.
How Does Nualgi Ponds Work?
Upon 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.
