EM® Photo+ Aquabiome is an innovative solution based on specific phototrophic microorganisms from the EM® group, designed to regulate the development and growth of algae in ponds, basins, lakes, and other water bodies.
These microorganisms consume nutrients such as phosphates, nitrites, and ammonium, directly competing with algae and effectively limiting their proliferation in the long term.
Thanks to its unique composition, EM® Photo+ works effectively in various conditions – whether the water is rich or poor in oxygen, with or without light. This product helps maintain sustainable ecological balance and keeps water clear and healthy.
Benefits
- Algae reduction: Efficiently limits algal proliferation by consuming the nutrients essential for their growth.
- Versatility: Works in oxygen-rich or oxygen-poor environments, with or without light.
- Eco-friendly: Natural solution with no negative impact on fauna, flora, or the environment.
- Improves water quality: Maintains clear and healthy water, reducing phosphates, nitrites, and ammonium.
Uses – Recommended dosages
- For a small pond of 6,000 L: dilute 1 L of EM® Photo+.
- For larger volumes, adjust the dosage proportionally and split into several spaced applications.
- If algae persist, repeat treatment 3–4 times per year depending on the amount of algae.
EM® Photo+ is a natural, safe, and long-lasting solution for keeping your water bodies clear, healthy, and balanced. Whether you have a small garden pond or a large lake, this product helps control algae growth while protecting the overall health of the aquatic ecosystem.
Usage tips
For standard water treatment:
- Dilute 0.5 L of EM® Photo+ with 10 L of Microferm per 10,000 L of water annually.
- For intensive treatment or severe algae bloom, increase the application frequency rather than the dose.
- The annual amount can be split into monthly doses for optimal results from March to November.
- Keeping the water gently moving helps microorganisms distribute evenly.
For best effectiveness, EM® Photo+ is recommended in combination with Microferm, depending on the water type and algae development. Regular but moderate addition ensures long-term control of algae while maintaining ecosystem balance.
For a complete pond treatment, combine EM® Photo+ with:
- Bokashi Balls: 1 to 2 balls per m² to reduce sludge (repeat each year, preferably in winter).
- EM® Photo+ + Microferm: 0.5 L of Photo+ + 10 L of Microferm / 10,000 L of water / year for treating green water and algae.
