Green Lightning Products - The Options
…the “natural” Blanket Weed Killer TOTALLY SAFE TO FISH & PLANTS (except Blanket Weed)
 
What is GREEN LIGHTNING? It is a powder consisting of freeze dried bacteria set on cereal food. We supply two options 1.Green Lightning Plus and 2.Green Lightning Instant as shown further down this page.
These “natural” methods include the use of safe (non-pathogenic) bacteria. Products normally contain strains belonging to the Azotobacter, Bacillus, Pseudomonas and Chaetomium genera. The component strains include both aerobic and facultative (anaerobic) organisms.
These bacteria actively compete with the main filamentous algae in the pond such as Spirogyra ,Cladophera, Rhizoclonium,Vaucheria and Ulothrix for any excessive waste derivates such as fat, oil and grease, proteins, sugars, starch and cellulose. They also consume Nitrates, dissolved Ammonia and Phosphates. The bacteria remove theses very basic components required by Blanket Weed and the water becomes clearer. Any unpleasant odour is generally removed too. These “good” bacteria do not however have such a direct effect on single cell algae and blue-green algae such as Microcystis. Microcystis Aerugynosa is a member of the Cyanobacteria and can produce harmful toxins to both fish and land animals. Fortunately in ornamental ponds an Ultraviolet Light can kill these single cell algae.
1.GREEN LIGHTNING PLUS:
100g tub treats 5000 gallons. Requires brewing in warm water for up to 12 hours. 1 million freeze dried bacteria multiply to about 4 billion when brewed. CANNOT HARM FISH OR PLANTS (except Blanket Weed)
Consists of freeze dried bacteria of the four strains mentioned above combined with nutrient cereal. By tipping the contents of this tub into a bucket of warm water and aerating with an air stone for 12 hours, the bacteria multiply from say 1 million to 4 billion. The liquor is then tipped into the pond and the bacteria consume the same food required by the Blanket Weed as mentioned above. The effect is quite dramatic and the Blanket Weed dies off quite quickly. Repeat doses will be required throughout the year with more being required in hot sunny weather. The U.V. light should be turned off for 7 days otherwise it will destroy the bacteria.
NB: The bacteria are COMPLETEY HARMLESS to fish and plants. You cannot overdose the pond.
Tips: Even though each 100g tub treats 5000 gallons you should put ALL the contents into the bucket even if your pond is much smaller. The more bacteria you have the quicker the weed will go.
INSTRUCTIONS
Add the contents of the tub to a bucket of warm water and IF you have an air stone (a small porous stone used in the bottom of fish tanks through which air is blown to diffuse it) so much the better as the use of this will decrease the brewing time. Keep in a warm place for 12 hours until brewed. Remove any “froth” on surface. Pour into pond. TURN OFF U.V. Repeat monthly or as necessary. Will work within 7-10 days.
