Description
Keep Water Looking Richer While Reducing Light Penetration
Weak pond color, shallow-looking water, and excess sunlight can make a managed pond look unfinished. MAKO Bahamas Blue 5X Lake & Pond Dye gives pond and lake owners a simple liquid colorant routine with concentrated coverage, fast dispersion, and a blue-and-yellow pigment blend that helps shade more of the light spectrum than blue alone. It fits contained ponds, lakes, ornamental water features, fish hatcheries, aquaculture systems, and other low-outflow waters where a brighter blue-green finish is desired.
