Product 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.

Full-sun pond used to overheat; this keeps temps down and hides fish from birds while looking great.

Using this for 12 years at our campground lake. Always blocks light effectively and the color impresses guests. Excellent dye product and great friendly company.

We've tried nearly every pond colorant available on our farm pond and this one stands out as the best. It lasts almost the whole season and it’s safe for horses, fish, dogs cats and turtles! It blocks a good amount of sun and we noticed a difference immediately. Wear gloves!

This is the best product for lakes. The color stays strong all summer long and keeps everything looking clean and natural. We use 2 cases a year for 8 acre lake.

Our association treats six ponds all season with this. More concentrated than local brands and priced right.

We dug our own pond about half an acre with an island and swimming area. Struggled with algae and various weeds before. Used around a half a quart and the whole pond turned a stunning teal color. A little really does go a long way!

I use 2 tablespoons in my Koi pond each week and it keeps the water a healthy attractive blue and the price is fantastic. Thank you.
Verified Purchase
Our go-to dye for blocking out sunlight. It is non-toxic and very strong potency. Will use again.
Verified Purchase
Tried many dyes on the farm. MAKO is the strongest and safest and leaving a vivid blue. Our pond is stagnant and 1 QT does the job for about 3 months.
Verified Purchase
Our 8-foot pond turned vivid aqua within half an hour after two quarts. Stunning compared to the old muddy look.
Verified Purchase
Dose our 6-acre lake twice a year, great product. Applied from shore and it spreads on its own
Verified Purchase
Applicator here. quart concentrates are easier to haul than watered down gallons at better cost. MAKO tops everything I’ve used and makes for a great tracer.
Verified Purchase
Extremely potent formula. DO NOT GET IT ON YOU! I did and won't let that happen again.
Verified Purchase
Great value with solid performance. We swim and the fish fish never have problems with this one.
Verified Purchase
The product dyed up our pond fantastic, but it is very hard to get off hands. What worked in the end was hydrogen peroxide. Took the color out completely after rinsing with soap.
Verified Purchase
Just a small dose delivers huge results. It performed better than the label promised.
Verified Purchase
I accidentally poured the whole 32 oz bottle into my 1,200-gallon koi pond and turned every fish a bright blue. After a week of steady water changes they’re back to normal and perfectly healthy. Lesson learned: always read the label first.
Verified Purchase
Covers evenly, lasts longer, and gives a deeper blue than any other brand I’ve tried and the price is right.
