Pond and fish keepers could face the problems posed by algae and algae sludge and substrate. Algae are primitive plants which combine water and carbon dioxide to form sugars for energy and growth through photosynthesis. When temperature and nutrient levels are optimum, there could be uncontrollable algae growth, leading to "algae bloom” which are characterized by dense mats of green or red colored algae on the pond surface.

For fish and pond keepers, SIF Technologies provides effective programs to mitigate the heavy buildup of algae on the surface of the water and side of ponds as well as contain the stench. In Singapore, a National Park, a leading fish producer in the country and owners of fish aquariums have all benefited from the programs devised by SIF Technologies due to the inhibition of algae growth. One of Asia’s largest Oceanariums usually observes substrate after 2 months but after applying the DPA system, it was reported that they have not seen the buildup of substrate after almost 6 months.
