Microbe Lift Clean & Clear is a special blend of beneficial bacteria that keeps ponds clean & clear. Contains also photosynthetic bacteria and is grown in the bottle in which it is sold, thanks to a unique process! Photosynthetic bacteria can be very beneficial in balancing the ecology of a pond. They will compete with algae for their nutrition and sunlight.

Microbe-Lift Clean & Clear reduces environmental stress, improves dissolved oxygen, digests organic debris, and improves respiration and gas exchange.

• Keeps your ponds clean & clear
• Seeds and maintains biological filters

Microbe Lift Nite Out II is designed specifically for koi ponds. Its highly specialized microbial consortium of nitrifying cultures is specially formulated to eliminate ammonia and Nitrite via a natural biological process termed nitrification.

The cultures contained in Microbe-Lift Nite Out II will establish, promote or stabilize and maintain nitrification in pond waters, eliminating the toxic effect of ammonia. Microbe-Lift Nite Out II liquid nitrifying bacteria contains select strains of Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira and Nitrobacter. Nitrosomonas convert ammonia to nitrite and Nitrobacter and Nitrospira convert nitrite to nitrate

• Initiates nitrification super fast!
• Promotes stable nitrification.
• Provides stable cold weather nitrification.
• Safe for use around plants and animals.

One more thing Microbe Lift Nite Out II is Ideal for starting new ponds and filter systems or top up of filter bacteria after treatment of pond or any new additions.

Specially formulated for all biological Beadfilters.

Like most types of mechanical/biological filters, bead filters rely on the use of a media that provides a high surface area/volume ratio. This allows for support of the necessary amount of biomass, in the form of a biofilm, to properly remove organic and inorganic waste from the water, making it suitable for fish and other normal aquatic life.

• Rapid establishment of organic removal capabilities
• Rapid establishment of nitrogen cycling including nitrification and denitrification
• Reduces buildup of residue on the filter, decreasing maintenance and improving filter efficiency by avoiding channeling
• Rapid recovery of filter after use of medications and antibiotics 
• Breakdown of residual medications, like tree oils and formalin products, which are inhibitory to most bacteria after use
• Effective over a wide pH range
• Significantly reduces noxious odors caused by algae, fish, waste, and urine
• Reduces hydrogen sulfide, which causes strong, offensive odors

Within the biofilm it is possible to carry out aerobic, facultative anaerobic, anaerobic and chemosynthetic process if all the necessary bacterial species are present. Consequently, for these filter to function it is necessary to have proper numbers and distribution of species Microbe-Lift/ Super Start contains aerobic heterotrophs, facultative abaerobes, anaerobic and chemotrophic bacteria capable of carrying out all of the necessary processes for optimum performance of bead filters.

Microbe-Lift Filter Gel is a technological breakthrough because it's the first product that puts the bacteria right where you want it and it STAYS THERE! Filter Gel will quickly attach to and populate any filter media including foam, strapping, floss, bio-balls, ceramic media, etc.

This will help to rapidly establish the necessary biological activity in your filter to stabilize your pond's environment quickly. It will also help restore this activity to your filter when you clean or change the media in your filter.

• Easily applies to the filter pads/media without running or getting messy
• Contains the same spectrum of bacteria found in MICROBE-LIFT/PL
• Contains naturally occurring biopolymers, helping organisms quickly attach to the media
  allowing for an 80% reduction in filter start-up time
• Helps to stabilize pond environment quickly upon startup and to eliminate transient instability that can occur when filter media is cleaned or replaced
• Allows for more frequent cleaning of filters without subsequent instability if a pond has a high solids loading where frequent cleaning is beneficial
• Reduces the frequency of cleaning by accelerating the breakdown of organic solids that lead to high maintenance requirements
• Helps to establish denitrification in the filter which can lower nitrate levels in the pond
  

Application: Inoculate (spread) Filter GEL directly to filter pad or media. The Filter GEL will absorb into the pad/media by letting is set for 1 to 2 hours before inserting back into the filter or skimmer. After insertion, turn off recirculation pump for 1 to 2 hours, providing water can maintain adequate oxygenation without circulation for this amount of time. Repeat application each cleaning/replacement of filter pads/media. For normal maintenance use Mircrobe-Lift Clean & Clear.

Years in development, Microbe-Lift Sludge Away speeds up the biological removal of slow to degrade organic waste matter from aquatic pond bottoms that may become toxic to fish and plant life.

As organic solids accumulate on the pond bottom they begin to break down, releasing toxic gasses to the surrounding environment. These gaseous byproducts endanger fish, marine life and plants.

Microbe Lift Sludge Away removes bottom organic sludge and muck, reducing or eliminating the potential harmful gaseous compounds, and helps to clarify your pond water at the same time.

Microbe Lift Sludge Away is formulated specifically for the removal of organic bottom solids that are slow to degrade. It works faster at warm water temperatures, however, may be used effectively at any temperatures year-round. Recommended for use with all Microbe-Lift bacteria and enzyme products.

Microbe Lift Sludge Away Details:

• Provides rapid and natural sludge and muck removal
• 80 % faster than competitive products
• Binds phosphate
• Helps improve pond clarity
• 100 % active ingredients
• Disperses quickly
• Organic and microbial based
• Bio-degradable

 100ml per 1250 ltrs of pond water

Microbe Lift Ammonia Remover neutralises toxic ammonia, chloramines and chlorine. Is safe for everything that lives in the pond. Ammonia Remover gives beneficial bacteria time to multiply and recover if the biological filter gets damaged keeping pond fish from being stressed.

Use Microbe Lift Ammonia Remover preferably after refreshing or adding tap water. Also use when the pond is over-populated with fish.

• Every ounce removes 1.25 ppm of toxic ammonia by forming an irreversible complex to reduce free ammonia to safe levels
• Neutralizes residual chlorine and destroys deadly chloramines
• Treats ammonia burn in pond fish
  

This bottle treats ponds up to 20.000 litres

Fish transport Microbe-Lift / Ammonia Remover is very suitable when transporting fish (new ponds, koishows, transport) during the hot summer months. A few drops of Ammonia Remover per 4 litres in each transportation bag will support a safe transport.

Dosage: Add 30 ml Ammonia Remover to 600 litres of water to decrease the level of ammonia with 1,25 mg/ltr. Treat for total ammonia level at one time. If needed, the dosage may be repeated safely. If toxic levels of ammonia persist, a partial water change is recommended. Over feeding may be the cause.

Like all living organisms, the beneficial micro-organisms in MICROBE-LIFT and other MICROBE-LIFT bacterial products need minerals and essential trace elements in order to function optimally.

While only required in very small amounts, if lacking, these micro nutrients can reduce the benefits you realize from any bacterial additives you use as well as any indigenous beneficial micro-organisms in your pond.

MICROBELIFT Nutri-Pack contains the full complement of essential minerals and micro nutrients required by almost all beneficial micro-organisms, especially nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria.

By assuring that these beneficial micro-organisms are not deficient in any essential minerals or micro nutrients, the beneficial bacteria and other micro-organisms in your pond will function optimally in all types of environments and conditions. MICROBE-LIFT Nutri-Pack does not contain bacterial cultures.
