    Microbe-Lift PL GEL (Filter Pad Inoculant)

    Convenient, Easy-to-Use, Flip-Top Squeeze Bottle!

    PL GEL is a technological breakthrough because it's the first product that puts the bacteria right where you want it and it stays there! PL/GEL will quickly attach to and populate any filter media including foam, strapping, floss, bio-balls, spring flo, 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 bio polymers, 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 can lead to high maintenance requirements.
    • Helps to establish de nitrification in the filter which can lower nitrate levels in the pond

    Microbe-Lift NITE-OUT II

    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.

    Microbe-Lift Maximum Clarity Plus

The humates provide humic acid which have a natural ability to sequester (tie up) inorganic compounds. Therefore, their concentrations in the pond don't reach levels that would imbalance the pond's ecosystem. The peat helps to buffer the pH of the pond water.
