Product description: C-FLO-6F helps nature remove and control filamentous algae and blue green algae (cyanobacteria) as it feeds on phosphorus and nitrogen in reservoirs, lakes, ponds and fish ponds and is particularly effective in reducing nutrients that are food for filamentous algae (looks like green hair or moss and usually grows on weeds or rocks). C-FLO-6F is a special formulation of beneficial soil microbes, bacterial enzymes, nutrients and synergists. They are naturally-occurring soil and water microbes. It is a freeze-dried culture on an inert carrier; a dry free-flowing powder with tan and white particles. For best results, C-FLO-6F should be used with CLEAN-FLO reservoir, lake, pond, or fish pond aerationaerators and CLEAN & CLEAR vegetable enzymes.

What it does: C-FLO-6F, when used as directed, will remove and control blue green and filamentous algae, eliminate bad odors from the water, improve water clarity, reduce taste and odor in drinking water reservoirs, enhance nitrification cycles in the water, break down organic and fecal waste, and improve water quality for fish in aquaculture applications. C-FLO-6F removes taste and odor from drinking water reservoirs when used in conjunction with CLEAN-FLO aeration.

How it works: C-FLO-6F beneficial soil microbes feed on nitrogen and phosphorus, reducing the availability of these nutrients in the water column. The microorganisms take up phosphorus as PO4 and bind it in their cell mass, making it unavailable for algae. C-FLO-6F accelerates the natural nitrogen cycle and expedites the conversion of ammonia into nitrite, then nitrate. It oxidizes ammonia to form nitrites by the addition of oxygen, from dissolved oxygen in the water. Then, it takes oxygen from the nitrite or nitrate in order to grow and in the process, nitrogen gas is released. Ultimately, C-FLO-6F inhibits the accumulation of ammonia and nitrite. C-FLO-6F is a preventative maintenance product; it is not a quick fix. It will not kill a standing crop of algae but over time, it will cut off the algae’s food source by competing with the algae for the nitrogen and phosphorus in the water.

Where it can be used: C-FLO-6F can be used in both fresh water and salt water environments. Aquaculture and backyard fish ponds, golf course ponds, back yard recreational ponds, lakes and reservoirs are all places where C-FLO-6F can be used. Use of CLEAN & CLEAR Concentrated Enzymes and an aeration system such as the CLEAN-FLO Multiple Inversion/Oxygenation system will enhance the effectiveness of C-FLO-6F.

Compatibility with other products: C-FLO-6F is compatible with shading dyes in your lake or pond. It is not compatible with aquatic algaecides or herbicides. Algaecides and herbicides kill algae and weeds, they will also kill bacteria. When algae and weeds die, nutrients are released back into the water column and are available to be utilized again. Repeated use of algaecides and herbicides reduces a pond’s ability to regulate its nutrient level, causing it to be out of balance. If aquatic algaecides or herbicides are used in your pond, you should wait about 2 weeks before applying C-FLO-6F (the time required for the pesticides to break down may be longer or shorter in some cases). C-FLO-6F will help bring the nutrient load back into balance and promote a healthy aquatic environment.

Safety: C-FLO-6F is not a pesticide and will not kill weeds or algae. When used as directed, it will not harm humans, plants, fish, animals, birds or the environment. C-FLO-6F does not require a license or a permit. The bacteria in C-FLO-6F are naturally-occurring and non-pathogenic.

Application: Bottom dissolved oxygen must be 2 mg/l or higher and water temperature must be at least 55 degrees F. Initial application = 6 lbs. per acre foot of water. Maintenance dose = 1 lb. per acre foot every 2 weeks. C-FLO-6F should be slurried with lake or pond water and poured in water around shoreline.
