BACTA TAB: The best bacteria for establishing your pond, clearing out bottom sludge, giving your plants a boost, and preventing algae growth
Keep it simple—that’s what it’s all about. The world of pond maintenance used to feel like a jungle, full of different products—some labeled with an “A,” others with a “B,” and then there were those special versions for koi or swimming ponds. Too complicated, I thought. That’s why I’m proud to introduce: BACTA TAB.
Why get lost in a maze of products when one hero is all you need? BACTA TAB is your all-in-one solution. Not only does it get your pond up and running, but it also cleans the bottom sludge, gives your plants exactly what they need, and keeps both floating and thread algae at bay. And that’s not all. BACTA TAB goes a step further by efficiently breaking down excess Fish food, waste, decaying leaves, and dead algae, turning your pond into a model of biological balance.
Thanks to a carefully selected blend of multiple bacterial strains, BACTA TAB ensures crystal-clear water and effectively controls algae growth. It is completely eco-friendly and safe for people, plants, and animals. Simply put, BACTA TAB helps restore peace to your garden and your life.
About this product
Forget about the hassle of pumps and filters. BACTA TAB keeps your pond crystal clear all year round, without any complicated equipment. That means more enjoyment and less work. A real time- and money-saver, perfect for any pond enthusiast who wants to keep things simple.
What makes this product special
Our very own Simon van der Velde, a true pond specialist, has created BACTA TAB using a unique blend of bacterial strains. This provides an unparalleled solution for combating algae growth and pollution, specially formulated to keep your pond clear and healthy.
Quality and origin
BACTA TAB is not only effective but also environmentally friendly. By supporting the natural balance in your pond, it helps maintain a healthy aquatic ecosystem. A sustainable choice for the clarity of your pond and the health of its inhabitants.
Practical Information
BACTA TAB is incredibly easy to use: simply add it twice a year, once in March and once in October. One tablet is designed for a small pond of up to 1,000 liters. If your pond is smaller, always use one tablet at a time. Don’t worry—thanks to our unique formula, overdosing is impossible.

My little city pond
Purchased: Pond Kit Red 100-400L
I’d been dreaming of having a small pond in my city garden for a while, but it always seemed like such a hassle. I found a complete kit online and decided to take a chance, even though I was skeptical about the quality of plants sent by mail. But to my surprise, everything arrived neatly and securely packaged. In no time at all, I had set up my little pond. To my delight, I saw the first water lily bloom after just two months, and as the icing on the cake, I discovered salamanders in my pond. No idea how they got there, but it just makes it even more fun. Truly a joy!
Lina Berger
The water is finally clear
Purchased: Native Pond Kit 1,500–3,000 L
No matter what I tried, the water in my pond just wouldn't clear up. After exchanging a few emails, I decided to order this complete kit, though to be honest, I wasn't very confident it would work.
The delivery was in good condition and the plants looked healthy. Not much changed during the first few weeks, but after about a month, the water slowly began to clear up.
Now the pond is really in perfect balance. The plants are growing well, and I can even see frogs among the leaves again. I'm really glad I gave this a try.

Blue lily: beautiful!
Purchased: Blue Water Lily
Thank you very much for the generous shipment of the marsh irisIris blue”.
The new plants have been planted, and I'm curious to see if they'll bloom this year.
There’s good news about theBlue queenwater lily: It blooms in blue here too—and it’s absolutely stunning!

Removing floor debris without a vacuum cleaner
Purchased: POND CARE Maintenance Kit
After years of accumulation caused by fish, a significant amount of silt had built up in my pond.
At first, I was thinking about getting a pond vacuum, but after talking to customer service, I decided to go with the bottom debris removal kit. I was skeptical, especially since the water got cloudy during the first week. But after a month, the sludge has decreased significantly. No hassle with a vacuum, and a great result!
I’m a fan.

Water lilies greater biodiversity
Purchased: Native Water Lily Field XL
As plant lovers, we were looking for a sustainable addition to our project. The Water lilies vdvelde turned out to be just what we were looking for. Planting the lilies was also a lot of fun. We had requested different varieties, and that wasn’t a problem at all. The delivery was handled professionally, and everything looked great. Within a week, we already saw leaves emerging above the water, and now several flowers are blooming.
Both we and our client are extremely pleased with the result.

Oxygen-producing plants save my fish
Purchased: Oxygenating Plants Package 1,500–3,000 L
My fish were gasping for air, so I looked for an air pump. Then I read that oxygenating plants could solve this problem too. I ordered the package that fits my pond, and now my fish are swimming around carefree again. An added bonus: my pond water is much clearer. Happy fish, happy me!

I'm really happy with my little pond
Purchased: Pond Kit Red 25-90L
This handy kit helped me set up my mini pond in no time. It comes with everything you need!
The service and advice were excellent—much better than at the garden center, where nobody really knows anything.

From maintenance to an organic swimming pond
Purchased: Plant Filter Package 8–12 m²
I was tired of constantly cleaning the pump, so I decided to convert my pond into a natural swimming pond. With the plant filter kit from vdvelde.com, it turned out perfectly! Now I enjoy a beautiful, natural filter and lovely swimming water.

Plants are growing much better now, and the water is crystal clear
Purchased: STEP ONE Pond substrate
Last year, I had a landscaper install a plant filter in my swimming pond, and he recommended lava rock and some plants from the local garden center. Unfortunately, it all went wrong; the plants died one by one, and I ended up with an algae infestation.
After contacting vdvelde, I was advised to replace the lava rock with Pond substrate to order some additional plants. Now, a few months later, the plants are growing well, and my filter is finally free of algae.
