Tetra Pond Peat & Barley Straw Extract – Natural Green Water Treatment 500ml
Looking for a more natural way to tackle green pond water? Tetra Peat & Barley Straw Extract helps reduce algae and improve water clarity using gentle, plant-based ingredients.
Ideal for maintaining a balanced pond environment, it works gradually to create conditions that discourage green water without relying on harsher chemical treatments.
Green water in ponds is often caused by microscopic algae thriving in nutrient-rich conditions. Tetra’s Peat & Barley Straw Extract offers a natural alternative by slowly releasing substances that inhibit algae growth while supporting a more stable aquatic environment.
Barley straw has long been used in ponds as a traditional method for controlling algae, and when combined with peat extract, it also helps gently adjust water chemistry. This can slightly lower pH and soften the water, creating conditions that are less favourable for algae but still safe for fish and plants.
This makes it an excellent choice for pond keepers who prefer a more natural, preventative approach rather than a fast-acting chemical fix.
