EM® Photo+ Aquabiome is an innovative solution based on specific phototrophic micro-organisms from the EM® group, designed to regulate the development and growth of algae in ponds, water features, lakes, and other bodies of water.
These micro-organisms consume nutrients such as phosphates, nitrites and ammonium, directly competing with algae and sustainably limiting their proliferation.
Thanks to its unique composition, EM® Photo+ works efficiently in varied conditions – whether the water is rich or poor in oxygen, and with or without light. The product helps to maintain a lasting ecological balance and keep the water clear and healthy.
Advantages
- Reduces algae: Effectively limits algae growth by consuming the nutrients necessary for their development.
- Versatile: 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: Keeps water clear and healthy, 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 opt for several spaced applications.
- If algae persist, repeat treatment 3 to 4 times a year, depending on quantity of algae.
EM® Photo+ is a natural, safe and sustainable solution for keeping your pond or water feature clear, healthy and balanced. Whether in a small garden pond or a large lake, this product helps regulate algae growth while protecting the overall health of the aquatic ecosystem.
Directions for use
For standard pond treatment:
- Recommended annual dosage: dilute 0.5 L EM® Photo+ with 10 L Microferm per 10,000 L of water.
- For intensive treatment or heavy algae growth, it’s best to increase the frequency rather than the dose.
- You may split the annual amount into monthly applications for optimal results from March to November.
- A slight movement of the water helps evenly distribute the microorganisms.
For optimal effectiveness, EM® Photo+ is recommended in combination with Microferm, depending on your pond type and algae development. A regular but moderate input ensures long-term algae control whilst preserving the water ecosystem’s natural balance.
For complete pond treatment, combine EM® Photo+ with:
- Bokashi Balls: 1 to 2 balls per m² to reduce sludge (repeat every year, ideally in winter).
- EM® Photo+ + Microferm: 0.5 L Photo+ + 10 L Microferm / 10,000 L water / year to treat green water and algae.
