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 bodies of water.
These microorganisms consume nutrients such as phosphates, nitrites and ammonium, directly competing with algae and providing long-lasting limitation of their proliferation.
Thanks to its unique composition, EM® Photo+ works effectively in a variety of conditions—whether the water is rich or poor in oxygen, and with or without light. This product helps maintain a long-lasting ecological balance and ensures clear, healthy water.
Benefits
- Algae reduction: Efficiently limits algae growth by consuming the essential nutrients they need.
- 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.
- Improved water quality: Maintains clear and healthy water by reducing phosphates, nitrites and ammonium.
Applications - 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 according to the amount of algae present.
EM® Photo+ is a natural, safe, and long-lasting solution to keep your water bodies clear, healthy, and balanced. Whether for a small garden pond or a large lake, this product helps regulate algae growth while preserving the overall health of the aquatic ecosystem.
Usage tips
For a standard pond treatment:
- Recommended annual dosage: Dilute 0.5 L of EM® Photo+ with 10 L of Microferm per 10,000 L of water.
- For intensive treatment or in cases of heavy algae proliferation, it is better to increase the frequency of applications rather than the dosage.
- The annual amount can be split into monthly doses for optimal results from March to November.
- Maintaining slight water movement encourages an even distribution of the microorganisms.
For optimal effectiveness, EM® Photo+ is recommended in combination with Microferm, depending on the water body type and algae development intensity. Regular but moderate input provides long-lasting algae control and preserves the balance of the aquatic ecosystem.
For complete pond care, 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 Photo+ + 10 L Microferm / 10,000 L water / year to treat green water and algae.
