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.

A fantastic, professional-grade dye that delivers exactly what it promises. It’s super strong, so I only need 2 jars on my pond to get that sharp, polished look. Gloves are a must, but it fades from your skin in a day or two.

I ordered both Midnight Black and Bahamas Blue to create a navy-blue finish mixing them 1:1 gave me that deep, understated hue that still looks totally natural.
