Specially Formulated For Rapid Ammonia & Nitrite Reduction

Microbe-Lift Nite Out II is designed specifically for pond waters that contain marine life. Its highly-specialized microbial consortium of nitrifying cultures are specially formulated to eliminate ammonia 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.

Microbe-Lift Nite Out II comprises select microorganisms that are autotrophic-able to use carbon dioxide as the sole source of carbon-and are relatively slow growing, requiring specific conditions for optimum growth with typical cell division rates from 8 to 16 hours. Their performance and rate of growth are impacted by the environmental parameters required for nitrification.

They are also highly oxygen-sensitive, requiring high dissolved oxygen levels (greater than 2 mg/L) to achieve maximum growth rates. Nitrite is produced by beneficial bacteria in the pond and the oxidation of harmful waste ammonia excreted by fish. Even though nitrite is not as toxic as ammonia, it is still very damaging to the health of fish.

• Initiates nitrification
• Promotes stable nitrification
• Provides stable cold weather nitrification
• Safe for use around plants and animals

Algaecide For Ponds - Stops Algae Growth & Controls string algae!

No more green water with ALGAWAY 5.4 Algaecide!

It stops algae growth in ponds and can be applied to areas that contain fish and plants!

For use in self-contained ornamental ponds and fountains without any outflow. For small ponds with heavy algae growth, clean the excess algae off the sides and ornaments before adding ALGAWAY 5.4 . This will reduce the amount of decaying organic matter.

Fountains, Small Ponds with goldfish and koi - Treat only those fountains and ponds which will have no outflow after treatment. High water temperatures cause more rapid natural decay of dead algae which can cause fish distress. If animals are present clean out excess algae as stated above or use before temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C).

CAUTIONS: In ponds, insure that water is well aerated via waterfall, fountain or other method to prevent fish loss. Aeration must be continuous. Not safe for use with snails, shrimp and other crustaceans or mollusks.

Repeat dosage once per week for maintenance.

For all Koi and pond fish

Legacy Variety Mix is the answer for how to feed a complete blend of fruits, greens, carbohydrates, protein, wheat germ, vitamins and probiotics to your koi and pond fish. It contains 25% of each Microbe-Lift's most popular Legacy foods: FRUITS AND GREENS, SUMMER STAPLE, HIGH GROWTH AND ENERGY and IMMUNOSTIMULANT

Cold Weather Wheat Germ Fish Food

In the cold weather of spring and fall, when the night-time temperature goes below 55°F, feed this cold weather formula. When the pond water's temperature drops, the fish require a highly digestible, cool-water diet. This cold water diet is made with lesser amounts of protein and contains wheat germ which is easily digested. This formula also contains a higher level of fats to prepare the fish for winter.

For fish 4" and under.

Mini Pellets were developed so that small fish have a high quality balanced diet food available to them. Recommended for fish 4" and smaller, this diet contains stabilized vitamin C to help promote proper tissue development.

Floating pellets with added color enhancers

As the warmer weather sets in, begin increasing the frequency and quantity of your feeding. The Summer Staple Food has animal protein and color enhancer's that are needed during this season. The added color enhancer's are made up of astaxanthin (crab shell), spirulina and krill, which all promote brilliant color development.

11.5mm Floating Pellets with Added Color Enhancers

As the warmer weather sets in, begin increasing the frequency and quantity of your feeding. The Summer Staple Food has animal protein and color enhancer's that are needed during this season. The added color enhancer's are made up of astaxanthin (crab shell), spirulina and krill, which all promote brilliant color development.

• Floating Pellets with Added Color Enhancers
• When Your Bigger Fish Deserve the Very Best!
• Contains Stabilized Vitamin C
• Will Not Cloud Water
• Bigger Pellets! 11.5 mm

Sinking pellets with added color enhancers.

Legacy SINKING FOOD PELLETS are a great way to make sure your newly added pond fish receive balanced meals while adjusting to their new surroundings.

Generally, new fish are "shy" until they become more familiar with their surroundings. Legacy sinking food is also great for stressed or sick fish that don't come to the pond's surface and feed off the bottom of the pond.

Contains stabilized vitamin C. Will not cloud the water. Protein 36%

With Montmorillonite Clay

Feed above 68°F (20°C). Alternate feeding the two supplemental foods every other day (four days per week). Due to the lower protein content this can be alternated with the Cold Weather formula during colder weather as well. The Montmorillonite Clay provides additional minerals which help provide more immunity against viruses commonly found in pond environments. Additional quantities of vitamins are also blended into this food. Montmorillonite Clay also acts as a toxin binder by neutralizing metabolic toxins.

Floating Sticks

As far as we know, Ecological Laboratories is the first fish food manufacturer to commercially produce this type of food. Variety is the spice of life. If you don't have time to cut up fruits and vegetables for your pond fish, give them this "fruits and greens" blend. Ecological Labs has done the cutting and blending for you. There are apples, apricots, kiwis, mangos, papayas, peaches, pears, broccoli, cabbage, peas, red peppers, tomatoes, zucchini and spinach in this scientific blend.

With Added Color Enhancers

In the late spring when the warmer temperatures arrive, koi and goldfish need a boost of protein for growth since they depleted their fat reserves over the winter. In the fall a higher protein diet is also required since pond fish need to bulk up in preparation for their winter fast. Use this feed at a minimum temperature of 68°F (20°C). Pond fish really start to grow at this temperature. You can use this feed up to four times per day. Feed between 2% - 3% of the fishes' body weight per day.

Anti-Bacterial Top Coating for Pond Fish Food

Roll your favorite fish food in some Microbe-Lift Romet TC. Romet TC helps provide the benefits of a medicated food by rolling any fish food in this anti-bacterial top coating. Romet TC is a combination of sulfadinmethoxine and ormetoprin and may be top coated on any feed.

Microbe-Lift Romet TC Dosage To coat 2.5lbs (40oz.) of food, add ½ -1 oz (2 tbs.) of Romet TC to a container with 2 oz (1/4 cup) of water to create a slurry for coating the food of your choice.

Romet TC should be fed at a rate equivalent to 50 milligrams of active ingredients per kilogram (23mg/lb) of live body weight of fish per day. As an example, for actively feeding fish, feed at the lower concentration (1/2 oz. per 2.5 lbs: approximately 1 tb sp. per 2.5lbs.) for five (5) days. For less active fish, feed at the higher concentration (1 oz. per 2.5lbs: approximately 2 tbsp. per 5 lbs.) for five (5) days.

Formulated with Malachite Green & Formalin

Use for disease caused by Ichthyophithirius (Ich), Chilodonella, Costia, Oodinium, Trichodina and fungal infections

MICROBE-LIFT/BSDT is the preeminent broad spectrum malachite green and formalin treatment. It is formulated differently than any other malachite green and formalin mix.

Malachite green and formalin are two drugs that are more effective and less toxic in combination than when used individually. This is the definition of synergism. What makes MICROBE-LIFT/BSDT the preeminent product in this field is the fact that it is formulated with malachite green chloride, instead of the more toxic oxalate salt. As with any malachite green and formalin treatment, do NOT use with other medications.

MICROBE-LIFT/BSDT is the safest and most effective treatment for the control of diseases caused by Ichthyophithirius (Ich), Costia, Trichodina, Chilodonella, Oodinium and fungal infections.

MICROBE-LIFT/BSDT is the ONLY malachite green and formalin treatment that can be used in water temperatures as low as 50°F, thus allowing treatment in early Spring and late Fall.

MICROBE-LIFT/BSDT is less toxic to koi and goldfish than any other malachite green and formalin product on the market.

Microbe-Lift Broad Spectrum Disease Dosage
Pond Size (gallons)	Dosage
Any	Add 3.5 oz. per 1,000 gallons of water
Prior to initial use, at least a 25% water change should be made. A nearly total water change (>90%) will greatly improve effectiveness. Carbon Filtration must be removed during treatment
Dosage may be repeated, following the recommended water change, every 8 - 12 hours, depending upon the response of the fish to the treatment.

Use for Diseases of Ornamental Pond Fishes caused by Flukes and Tapeworms

MICROBE-LIFT/PRAZI is gentle treatment recognized as the treatment of choice for disease of koi and goldfish and other ornamental pond fishes caused by trematodes (flukes) and cestodes (tapeworms). MICROBE-LIFT/PRAZI IS harmless to all species of fishes including fry, and it is non toxic to plants and harmless to biological filtration.

Contains:

• PRAZI Powder, C19,H24,N2,02
• 2-(Cyclohexylcarbonyl)-1,2,3,6,7,11b-
• Hexahydro-4H-pyrazino[2,1-a]
• Isoquinolin-4-one

For accuracy and reproducibility carefully weight dosages. However, one tablespoon is approximately 2.9 grams (=2,907.6 mg) and will treat 300 gallons (=1,1135 L).

Microbe-Lift Prazi Dosage
As a bath:	Start the bath treatment with as large a partial water change as possible in the pond to be treated, or start with a new water that has been conditioned with MICROBE-LIFT/XTreme. Do not stop filtration but remove activated carton and stop foam-fractionation ('protein skimming"). Add enough MICROBE-LIFT/Prazi to produce a dosage of 2.5 mg/L (9,4625 mg/gal; 946.25 mg/100 gal); vigorously shake the dosage with at least 1 quart of water for 3-5 minutes to produce a slurry. Pour the slurry into a 5 gallon bucket of water and mix well. Then distribute the mixture around the edge of the pond or pour into the pond filter or skimmer to achieve maximum distribution in the water. A single treatment of 7 days is usually sufficient. Do not use any other drugs or treatments.
In feed:	To each 100 grams (3.5 oz.) of dry feed (flake, granular or pellet) thoroughly mix in 400 mg of MICROBE-LIFT/Prazi. Moisten the dry mixture with 25 to 50 mL of grain alcohol (190° ethanol) for each 100 grams of dry feed; gently blend the moistened mixture to incorporate the Prazi into the feed. CAUTION: grain alcohol is flammable! Allow the mixture to air dry (do not heat), break up any clumps, package and store in a cool, dry place. Feed the medicated feed daily for 5 to 7 days.

Made with 100% Natural and organic ingredients, this product improves water quality, fish and plant health. Barley Straw Pellets are the most convenient form of barley today. They should be introduced preferably where water is flowing and the depth is less than three feet. You may also place some in your filter media box. You may start your application any time of the year.

Enriched with peat and humic acid, this revolutionary formula works faster & better with Less Mess & Cost and is easier to apply than bales, pillows and pads!

• Matures pond water chemistry, Buffers pH,Works year round
• Disperses quickly by simple broadcast of pellets into the pond or packing in a porous fabric sock and suspending in pond or available chamber in skimmer or filter
• Releases decomposition by-products immediately
• Recommended for use with all Microbe-Lift bacterial and enzymatic pond products
• Provides a slow steady release of beneficial ingredients through natural activity

Microbe-Lift Barley Straw Pellets is an environmentally responsible, cost-efficient pond conditioner that is a natural and organic way to a healthy pond environment! Barley straw and selected natural peats have been processed and packaged to make them easy and clean to apply. Manufactured using an exclusive proprietary pelleting process that eliminates the use of wheat, corn and other binders, the barley straw is harvested and stored under climatic conditions that assure the quality of these essential ingredients.

Microbe-Lift Barley Straw Pellets works in much the same way as barley straw...only faster! Whereas barley straw works by releasing certain natural chemicals as it biodegrades, so do the pellets in Barley Straw Pellets, only the breakdown compounds are released faster: dispersing equally throughout the water; reacting photo chemically with sunlight; and activating humic acids to produce hydrogen peroxide - an oxidizing agent that also helps to keep the water clear - naturally and at a low level of release. The humic acid will also chelate metals such as copper or arsenic. Microbe-Lift Barley Straw Pellets are rich in organic peat which softens pond water-reducing nitrate and phosphate concentrations in the water column-and provides a buffering agent and ion attenuation in lined ponds that additionally gives them some beneficial properties of earthen ponds!

Please note: Microbe-Lift Barley Straw Pellets will leave a residue on the bottom of the pond. The bacteria in the Microbe-Lift products as well as Microbe-Lift Sludge Away will digest this organic residual.

Maturing A Pond Biologically and Chemically

When a pond's ecosystem is mature and balanced, the water is usually clear and healthy for aquatic life. This maturation process is a function of the microbiological and chemical properties of the water.

NATURAL CHEMICAL MATURATION - Microbe-Lift Barley Straw LIQUID & DRY formulations help to mature the pond with natural chemicals just as a pure mountain stream matures through the years by the introduction of natural breakdown products from trees, plants, etc. These natural breakdown products often include humic and fulvic acid and organic acids that have a natural ability to sequester, or tie up, inorganic compounds, so their concentrations in the pond don't get to levels that would unbalance the ponds ecosystem. These substances can also lead to natural purification of the pond through a slow release of hydrogen peroxide as they react with sunlight. The hydrogen peroxide is produced at levels that help purify the water while not having any adverse effects on desirable aquatic life. The sequestering, in conjunction with microbiological cycling, provides a stable natural ecosystem in your pond.

BIOLOGICAL MATURATION The microbiological maturation process involves development of symbiotic populations of bacteria, which stabilize the critical organic and inorganic components of the pond. The microorganisms do this through their ability to promote "biogeochemical cycles" including carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous cycles - elements critical to all forms of aquatic life. By stabilizing these components, the bacteria prevent pollution of the pond. It can take some time to accomplish this "biological maturation" in a man-made pond and may never occur as the maturation process is constantly interrupted by certain pond practices like cleaning out the pond. The process can be accelerated significantly through the use of Microbe-Lift PL - a virtual "ecosystem in a bottle" - and mimics the complex interdependent populations in a mature pond.

NATURAL CHEMICAL MATURATION Microbe-Lift Barley Straw LIQUID & DRY formulations help to mature the pond with natural chemicals just as a pure mountain stream matures through the years by the introduction of natural breakdown products from trees, plants, etc. These natural breakdown products often include humic and fulvic acid and organic acids that have a natural ability to sequester, or tie up, inorganic compounds, so their concentrations in the pond don't get to levels that would unbalance the ponds ecosystem. These substances can also lead to natural purification of the pond through a slow release of hydrogen peroxide as they react with sunlight. The hydrogen peroxide is produced at levels that help purify the water while not having any adverse effects on desirable aquatic life. The sequestering, in conjunction with microbiological cycling, provides a stable natural ecosystem in your pond.

BIOLOGICAL MATURATION The microbiological maturation process involves development of symbiotic populations of bacteria, which stabilize the critical organic and inorganic components of the pond. The microorganisms do this through their ability to promote "biogeochemical cycles" - including carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous cycles - elements critical to all forms of aquatic life. By stabilizing these components, the bacteria prevent pollution of the pond. It can take some time to accomplish this "biological maturation" in a man-made pond and may never occur as the maturation process is constantly interrupted by certain pond practices like cleaning out the pond. The process can be accelerated significantly through the use of Microbe-Lift PL - a virtual "ecosystem in a bottle" - and mimics the complex interdependent populations in a mature pond.
