API Pond Ecofix Sludge Destroyer

API Pond Ecofix Sludge Destroyer is a concentrated bacterial pond treatment designed to help break down fish waste, dead algae, leaves and organic sludge before it builds up throughout the pond.

It’s a great option for ponds with muck accumulating on the bottom, excess organic debris, or filters and pumps constantly dealing with decomposing waste.

Why Use Ecofix?

• Helps break down pond sludge

• Digests fish waste and organic debris

• Helps consume dead algae

• Breaks down leaves and plant material

• Reduces organic buildup around pumps and filters

• Helps make regular pond maintenance easier

How to Use

Shake well before use.

Initial Clean-Up

Dose approximately:

60mL per 946L of pond water, twice per week for 2 weeks.

This stronger initial treatment is useful when bringing a pond out of winter or dealing with noticeable organic buildup.

Ongoing Maintenance

Dose approximately:

30mL per 946L every 2 weeks.

Always calculate your approximate pond volume before dosing and follow the directions on the bottle.

Ecofix vs Microbial Algae Clean

These two products are designed for slightly different problems.

Choose Ecofix if:
Your main problem is sludge, fish waste, dead algae, leaves or organic muck.

Choose Microbial Algae Clean if:
Your main problem is green water caused by suspended algae.

Ecofix is also useful after an algae treatment because it can help break down the dead algae left behind.

Simply Fish Recommends

Ecofix works best alongside normal pond maintenance.

If you can easily remove large piles of leaves, dead plant material or heavy sludge, remove as much as possible first.

Then use Ecofix to help deal with the organic waste that is harder to physically remove.

Keeping your pond pump and filtration clean and flowing properly will also make a big difference to how much waste builds up over time.
