The Applied Biochemists Aquashade Plus Colorant is more than a colorant in a concentrated form. Aquashade Plus Aquatic Plant Growth Control is a precise EPA registered blend of dyes proven to control underwater aquatic plants by limiting sunlight available for photosynthesis. This highly effective colorant is the choice of professional applicators to prevent and control under water weeds.

For additional information on this product, please see the Product Documents section for all downloadable user manuals, installation guides, brochures and warranty statements.

  • 2.4 times more concentrated than our original Aquashade Aquatic Plant Growth Control
  • Highly effective colorant inhibits photosynthesis under water
  • Aquashade colorant is the choice of professional applicators to prevent and control under water weeds
  • Use only 13 oz. per acre-ft to inhibit underwater weed and algae growth
  • Use in conjunction with herbicides or algaecides for control of surface algae mats or shallow-water plants

a month ago
1 Answer
  • AI-generated, Human-approved
    A: This product is a colorant designed to control underwater plant growth by limiting sunlight, rather than a cleaning agent. For a 30-gallon pond, the dosage would be extremely small, as the standard rate is only 1 oz. per 10,000 gallons.
