I have a 1500 gallon gold fish pond and a 7000 Koi pond that were looking a little sad and brown here in winter. And since the water clarity was good I was concerned about the views that might be open to heron, raccoons, possums. Yes I live in the city but have a nice woody acre. So I decided to try the Airmax Black Dye because the blue dye doesn't look good on waterfalls. Well the black is very pretty black with very little product used, but the water coming over the waterfalls looked neutral. That was good. The water in the test tubes for ammonia, nitrites, pH etc was clear so that tests were accurate. That is good. I hope that the lack of penetrating sunlight may slow down string algae as it warms up. But the darkness does not seem to affect water temp. Thats good. And the ponds looked really cool, deep black with the reflection the ads talked about. Until I decided to put some Natures Blue in one to try to get the Twightlight Blue that Airmax also makes but that I didn't buy. Unfortunately it did what ll blue dies did: make it a very pretty but unnatural blue across the waterfall and at the agitation at the bottom of the falls. When I received the products there was a slip enclosed that asked that if I could't give them 5 stars please call or email. I had 2 issues that were going to take my rating to 4 stars so I did as asked and emailed them my feedback. Much to my surprise I didn't get a defensive answer or an excuse as to why they must do what they must do. I got a real back and forth conversation that specifically addressed the feedback I was going to give about dosing for smaller ponds. As a result of the time and interest they took with someone who only spent about 50.00 with them, they have created a repeat customer. So my feedback is that the product is good but use increments of a half or one ounce at a time. If you have a waterfall the Natures Blue will make it look very blue...very bright blue, and I think unnatural. I am going to stick with Black or try Twilight Blue. Thanks Steve! You were a Blessing.

We have a smallish pond and like to keep it pretty. Although it is pricey the dye works well and keeps the water blue for a half year. Does not hurt or bother my fish. Read more

Properly packaged and shipped on time. A little pricey in my opinion and no matter what I do, I get blue dye everywhere. However it seems to last and helps slow down plant growth which means less work maintaining the pond. I waffled on a fifth star but the price is what brought it down. I might try another brand one day but if it ain’t broke…. My pond is 0.1 acres and this bottle will last me one and a half seasons. Read more

Used 1 bottle of black, great color, very natural. Pond is about 1 acre with average depth about 6-8 feet, 16 feet in center. Took a couple of days to assimilate but has a full consistent color shore to dam. The reflection of my green grass dam is amazing. (Ignore the weeds, it March and mowing season has just begun).

We have a lot of pond weeds growing in our 1/4 acre earth pond every summer, making it look very unappealing (except to the dogs). Previously we have used a different color dye from the Pond Guy, but it made the water resemble the Caribbean, and we live in North Idaho. This time we chose the Twilight Blue color, applying it towards the end of March to get a head start on the weed growth. The color is really nice, a darker blue that looks pretty natural for our area. We initially added one cup of dye, but the color wasn't quite as dark as we wanted so added another cup, which did the trick. When the weather warms up, we will try Muckaway to help clear the bottom of the pond, which is now about twenty years old. Over ten years ago we added a baggie full of goldfish to the water (from a pet store, to "help" feed the turtles); there continue to be several large schools of goldfish of different sizes and colors that over-winter, so they are alive and well, and attracting herons, Kingfishers, ospreys and mergansers. Hopefully the darker color of the water will make it more difficult for them to get picked off! We plan to use the dye every 4-6 weeks as recommended; it is very cost-effective for us since our pond is small with a constant influx of water from an underground stream, and doesn't need aeration.

Darkens the pond water and helps with algae growth. Great product! Read more

Makes pond color so beautiful! Used in a 1.5 acre pond and made it color up well! Does not kill fish, keeps water clean and also keeps it tinted to help the underneath weeds from getting sunlight! Read more
