BBA Algae Blaster

BBA Algae Blaster – Natural Liquid Bacteria Treatment for String Algae

String algae, also called filamentous algae or blanket weed, is one of the most stubborn problems a pond can develop. Most algaecides tackle it with chemicals like copper, which work but carry the risk of overdosing and oxygen depletion if you get the dose wrong.

BBA Algae Blaster takes a different approach, using fast-growing, locally selected beneficial bacteria to deplete the nutrients algae need to grow while helping establish a balanced microbial ecosystem in your pond. It’s a ready-to-use liquid formula, no mixing or activation required, and works across all water temperatures, best above 10°C. For ongoing, general pond maintenance beyond algae control, pair it with our BBA Beneficial Bacteria Liquid Solution to keep the wider microbial ecosystem balanced. If a brown, tea-stained tinge rather than string algae is your main concern, try our BBA Tannins Clear Liquid instead.
