Overview

Microbe-LIFT ALGA16 Algaway 5.4 is an EPA-registered algaecide designed for outdoor ponds and water features. It targets string algae and suspended blooms, helping to slow growth and reduce common green water scenarios. The result is a cleaner aquatic space that makes it easier to enjoy your fish, plants, and decorative features without heavy daily maintenance.
