We've used this for over 8 years now and still have nice and healthy Koi and goldfish (separate pond).

If you can't find it and are really interested, drop me an e-mail and I'll see if I can find a TLC dealer in your area for you. One of my offline ventures happens to be a pond shop

Cool, thanks. I'll check it out. I have had the pond for years and never had a problem. once in a while if there was a rain or several very hot days in a row it would go a little green and we'd put a little of this barley based natural water clarifier (maybe it's from TLC like you say, I'll have to check). But my wife picked up this chemical based stuff and we never used it. I should have thrown it away, but it was in the closet and she thinks she may have grabbed it instead. the bottles are similar.
