Microbe-Lift Environmentally
Friendly Pond Products

Ecological Laboratories has been producing specialty microbial products for over 25 years. Where required, Microbe-Lift 100% natural products are authorized by the appropriate regulatory agency and may be used in most states, even where special registration is required.

Botanical gardens, flower gardens and water gardens rely heavily on the activity of microorganisms to stay ecologically balanced. Nature needs these hard working biological "recyclers" to keep organic wastes and excess nutrients from accumulating to the detriment of your pond. The benefits include: clean, clear water which keeps your aquatic life healthier and reduces the potential for infection or loss.

Specially Formulated for Promoting Fish Health. Provides a natural pond eco-system, resulting in better overall fish health and improved water quality.

• Specially formulated for promoting fish health.

• Provides a natural pond eco-system.

• Better overall fish health & improved water quality.

• For use with all ornamental, coldwater, temperate, cyprinids, native, & wild species.

• Biologically supports a healthy immune system.

• Reduces environmental stress.

• Improves dissolved oxygen levels.

• Digests organic droppings.

• Aids respiration and gas exchange.

• Contains both nitrosomonas and nitrobacter bacteria.

• Oxidizes both ammonia and nitrites, also reduces nitrates.

• Immediately seeds and maintains biological filters.

• Biodegrades uneaten decomposed food (protein,starch,fats).

Helps accelerate the decomposition of leaves, scum, sediment, and other organic matter during the fall and winter months. Microbe-Lift Autumn/winter is a 2 part system.                              

The package consists of one quart liquid bacteria and 2 ounce water soluble packets with a blend of cellulase enzymes, cellulase - producing bacteria and a cold weather bacteria. The cellulase enzymes along with cellulase producing bacteria, are key to accelerating the breakdown of leaves, organic sediment and sludge all winter long. The cold weather bacteria and liquid bacteria take care of the initial breakdown by-products.

• Will continue to provide sustained biological activity in water temperatures under 55°F.(12°C.)
• Helps to jump-start your pond to a healthier environment in the spring
• Helps to maintain a healthy immune system for your fish during the winter months.
• Reduces buildup of dead leaves and organic sediment all winter long

The Best Prescription for lack of Oxygen - Use During Times of Oxygen Stress, for the immediate and continuous release of oxygen in ponds. For aquatic life to continue to function at peak efficiency, a constant source of oxygen is necessary.

• For the immediate and continuous release of oxygen in ponds and lagoons.

• Improves dissolved oxygen levels.

• Use for immediate and continuous release of oxygen in overloaded systems.

• Safe for humans, wildlife and aquatic life.

• Provides slow release of oxygen to ponds for weeks after addition.

• Non-toxic.

• Food grade.

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. 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.

• 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

As organic solids accumulate on the pond bottom they begin to break down releasing toxic gases to the surrounding environment. These gaseous by-products endanger fish, plants and other aquatic life, particularly ornamental fish such as koi. Microbe-lift/SA removes bottom organic sludge and muck, reducing or eliminating the potentially harmful gaseous compounds, and helps clarify your pond water at the same time.

• Speeds up the removal of sludge and muck naturally!
• Reduces and binds phosphate. 
• Helps improve pond clarity. 
• 100% active ingredients. 
• Disperses quickly. 
• Organic and microbial based.
•  Biodegradable.
• Will not discolor pond water
