I have and still use the newtechbio product in conjunction with cutrine liquid and granular to keep my algae down and to clean up my clarity issue a bit. I use cide kick with my liquid. I chose them due to the fact that they were very thorough with me on the phone and had no complaints anywhere that I could find. I fished out the catfish 2 years ago and my pond appears to be moving in the right direction steadily. My algae is kept at bay and I do not need dye to assist.

My expectations of what I put in my pond are real and I do not believe that any product or device will make my pond look like the garden of Eden overnight, but, a slow steady move to a better looking pond is what I expected and as I said. I am getting there.

I expect this year to be a little tricky since the weather has been 'odd' and many are telling me that we are in for a heat wave second to none. I don�t know if this is temporary but I do hope that this upcoming winter is not warmer that what we have had in NA since that will surely start to scare me.
