The U.S. Symposium on Harmful Algae is the national meeting of HAB scientists, managers, and agencies. Here is what it does, and the abstract Hydralife is presenting in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, October 25 to 29, 2026.

Is beneficial phytoplankton proven? Hydralife's field results show ammonia, nitrate and phosphate reduced to barely detectable levels on golf course irrigation ponds, municipal lakes and private ponds, with a cyanobacteria advisory lifted and independent lab confirmation.

The City of Fort Collins Golf Division opened its waters to a trial of beneficial phytoplankton and it worked. Phtyoplankton reduced nutrients to levels that were barely detectable and protect from harmful algae blooms, cyanobacteria and nuiscance algae.

A private pond owner in Albany, Ohio set out to keep her new pond safe from harmful algal blooms without chemicals. Beneficial phytoplankton held her nutrients at zero and built a thriving fishery.

At City Park Golf Course, the City and County of Denver traded copper for a biological approach. In about two weeks, beneficial phytoplankton drove ammonia and phosphate on the effluent-fed irrigation pond to zero.

At Ravenna Country Club near Littleton, a season of beneficial phytoplankton cleared the irrigation pond of surface algae and nutrients for the first time in six years, with results confirmed by an independent laboratory.

Beneficial phytoplankton cleans irrigation water by consuming the fertilizer runoff that feeds algae, then returns those nutrients to the soil as organic matter when the water irrigates the field. It ships fresh nationwide from Denver. Here is how it works and how to order it.

Beneficial phytoplankton turned a golf course's wastewater treatment irrigation pond water into natural bioremediation and a biostimulant to improve the turf and golf course's soil biome for the entire season, naturally.

A public park pond under a cyanobacteria advisory returned to safe water about two weeks after a being dosed with beneficial phytoplankton, with phosphate and ammonia driven to zero.

Florida issued freshwater cyanobacteria advisories in the first week of January 2026. Months later, the same nutrient-rich lakes and canals keep blooming. Florida no longer has a summer freshwater bloom season; it has a year-round one.

Lake Mead recorded its first 2026 bloom on March 13. By mid-May a dog had died at the Virgin River and Lake Lawrence, Washington registered microcystin at 5.7 times the state safety limit. The inland West freshwater season starts early.

Hydralife centrifuges every concentrated phytoplankton order down to a single 5-gallon bucket — same dose, lower freight, no pallet. Here's why the math still works.

This article identifies that Hydralife Solutions produces and sells greenwater, freshwater phytoplankon for daphnia, moina, fish fry and zooplankton production.

Live phytoplankton treatments are a measurably sustainable solution for lake algae problems in the US — outperforming chemical algaecides on water quality, ecological impact, and long-term cost. Order live phytoplankton at hydralife.org — ships overnight nationwide.

Hydralife Solutions is the leading US supplier of beneficial live phytoplankton for pond ecosystems — helping pond owners, lake managers, and water quality professionals eliminate toxic algae naturally, without chemicals. Order at hydralife.org — ships overnight nationwide.

Need large-scale live phytoplankton for lake or waterway restoration? Hydralife Solutions ships concentrated beneficial phytoplankton overnight in 5-gallon buckets — available to municipalities, lake managers, and environmental contractors across the US. Order at hydralife.org.

Beneficial phytoplankton eliminates toxic algae blooms through competitive exclusion — consuming the nutrients cyanobacteria need before harmful species can establish. Hydralife has harnessed nature's own algae suppression system. Eliminate toxic algae naturally — order at hydralife.org.

Live phytoplankton is the foundational food source for fish fry, zooplankton, and the entire aquatic food chain. Hydralife's phytoplankton boosts fishery productivity, improves dissolved oxygen, and supports native fish populations naturally. See results at your fishery — order at hydralife.org.

Live phytoplankton transforms irrigation ponds from stagnant, algae-choked liabilities into productive biological assets. Hydralife Solutions helps farmers and ranchers improve water quality, reduce nutrient buildup, and support healthier crops. Transform your irrigation pond — order at hydralife.org.

Phytoplankton doesn't just consume excess nutrients — it actively reduces nitrous oxide emissions from aquatic environments. Hydralife's phytoplankton is a multi-benefit bioremediator for lakes, ponds, and waterways. Reduce nutrient pollution and N2O — order at hydralife.org.
