The Stock Tank Secret Stock Tank Treatment eliminates the hassle of dumping and scrubbing slimy green, unsanitary livestock water tanks! Completely safe and chemical-free, this 100% organic barley straw stock tank water treatment helps keep stock tanks clean to maintain palatable drinking water. It's easy to use and lasts for up to two months. Made in the USA, this treatment features universal compatibility.

  • Stock tank water treatment is completely safe and effective treatment that contains no chemicals, pesticides or herbicides and has no toxic side effects
  • To use Stock Tank Secret, tear off the paper label at the perforation and throw the entire unopened bag of Stock Tank Secret into the tank; do not open the bag; one bag is good for an average 200 gal. stock tank; for larger or extremely dirty tanks, use two
  • After two months, take out the old bag and replace it with a new bag of Stock Tank Secret
  • Made with pride in the heartland of Nebraska, USA
  • Commonly used by horse owners, it can be used with cattle, goats, sheep, swine, poultry, fish and even exotic animals like alpacas and llamas
  • Can be used in livestock water tanks, automatic waterers, larger birdbaths, ornamental ponds and fountains and garden ponds containing fish and aquatic plants
  • Weekly chore of dumping and scrubbing stock tanks is a hassle; Stock Tank Secret was developed by a horsewoman and her veterinarian to eliminate this messy task
  • Stock Tank Secret is easy to use and effective in keeping livestock water tanks clean and drinking water palatable for up to two months; the little-known 'secret' is barley straw, which has been used for decades in England as a water treatment
  • Stock Tank Secret begins working immediately
  • May not notice its effect for a week to ten days; might observe the sides of the stock tank turning black as the barley straw treatment starts to work
  • If your tank has a lot of dirt and residue built up along the sides of the tank, it may start coming off in sheets and do so for about a week; take a shovel or a manure fork and fish the floating debris out of the tank
  • Your stock tank will become clearer and the tank will remain clean for about two months
  • Stock Tank Secret works best if you top off your tank frequently

Q: I put 1 bag of Stock Tank Secret in a 100 gallon tank 4 days ago and today the water is algae green in color. I understand that it will take awhile for the barley straw to kill the algae in the tank. Is the water with algae safe for the horses to drink?

11 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi Neighbor! Based on the information provided, it's generally recommended to avoid letting your horses drink from a tank with visible green algae. While the Stock Tank Secret barley straw treatment you added will eventually help control algae growth, it may take 7-10 days to see the full effects.

didn't work for me

6 months ago
I tried a similar barley product and it did not work. Put it in a clean tank and left it for a few weeks, as I'd read it sometimes takes time to work. It never cleared up and worse my horses wouldn't drink from the tank. Emptied it and started over. I have better luck adding two capfuls of disinfecting mouthwash to the 100 gal tank. The horses like the minty flavor and drink well, and the tank stays clean much longer than without it.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Works great, but takes time

8 months ago
This has worked great for me, BUT it takes a week or two for the water to clear completely. I dumped and scrubbed my tank, anchored the bag with a couple of big rocks so the donkeys wouldn't get it. The water was "clean" but cloudy for a couple of weeks. Figuring that was just dust from the barely, I left it alone. Well, I'm glad I did because my tank is now totally clean, clear, and beautiful!

Useless

It doesn't work at all. I put this bag in a 30 gallon stock tank and within 1 week algae started building up.

No, I do not recommend this product.
