Baller NameUnavailable Posted April 22, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 22, 2019 We have used liquid in 55 gal drums and works but shipping is high and hard to handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bishop8950 Posted April 23, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2019 SensiPro is good stuff but we have switched to Key Colour. You can get 1 or 5 gallon containers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jayski Posted April 23, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2019 Use sensient and it's awesome, best I have tried so far, haven't tried key color though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bishop8950 Posted April 23, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2019 @scotchipman I don’t have hard data and think both are great products. It seemed the Key Colour product lasted longer In our lake for the same amount of dye. I thought the cost was similar or slightly cheaper for Key Colour. We do a bulk order with several other lakes and get bulk pricing on delivery. I would suggest everyone try both and go with what works for you.

Baller igkya Posted April 23, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2019 @bishop8950 What color(s) of the Key Colour are you using? Edit: I see they also sell the Lake fx dye. Any idea what the differences are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bishop8950 Posted April 27, 2019 Baller Share Posted April 27, 2019 @igkya one color we use is called “Shortline Blue” and the other I believe is called Midnight. Both look great and midnight is a little darker. I dont know what the Fox products are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitecaps Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Curious if anyone is using gypsum in their lakes instead of the forementioned lake dyes? We are using gypsum delivered by the dump truck load. Doesnt create the blue color but seems to stop plant growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eleeski Posted May 1, 2019 Baller Share Posted May 1, 2019 One use for gypsum is to increase percolation in cropland. Be careful using gypsum in your lake if you are water limited. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitecaps Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 @eleweski, can you tell me what the results might be for treating a lake with gypsum for several years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller eleeski Posted May 2, 2019 Baller Share Posted May 2, 2019 @whitecaps gypsum would make my clay lined lake that is mostly above grade leak more. Lakes below the water table or with lots of flow through won't be hurt at all. Gypsum increases crop yield so I'm a bit puzzled as to how it works to keep growth down. But every lake is unique so whatever works. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller igkya Posted May 7, 2019 Baller Share Posted May 7, 2019 @LLUSA 'lasts about a year'? What's the size of your lake and how much dye are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller cacman Posted May 8, 2019 Baller Share Posted May 8, 2019 does it help with weeds and algae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller igkya Posted May 8, 2019 Baller Share Posted May 8, 2019 @cacman Yes, but we also use copper sulfate (feed grade) to help control/kill off the algae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
