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 PL GEL Application Rates

Spread GEL directly on filter pad or media and allow it to set for 1 - 2 hours before insertion into the filter or skimmer. After insertion, turn pump off for 1 - 2 hours, providing water can maintain adequate oxygenation without circulation for this amount of time. Repeat application each time you clean or replace your pads/media

2500-5000	10 oz.	5 oz.	10 oz.

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.

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 residual 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 & 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.

Maturing A Pond Biologically & Chemically

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.

Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals

Will help maintain a healthy pond environment and reduce the threat of parasitic disease in pond water.

Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals added to your pond water can be effective in helping to maintain a healthy fish environment and, in proper dosages, has proven to be helpful in reducing the threat of parasitic infestations in the pond.

Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals will temporarily block the toxic effects of nitrite , and by initiating the production of a thicker slime coat on the fish's body surface, helps to promote a stronger immune system and reduce stress.

Caution - Do not overdose. When adding salt to ponds that contain aquatic plants, be especially careful in monitoring salt concentration as salt can be a toxic effect on certain plants. Before adding salt to your pond, remove any zeolite products being used.

Directions - Salt will not evaporate from your pond. After testing your pond water with a hydrometer, you can add salt with your regular water changes. We recommend mixing salt and pond water in a bucket, and then spreading the slurry around the perimeter of your pond. Be careful to avoid direct contact with pond plants.

Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals Dosage

Microbe-Lift Therapeutic Salt For Quarantine Tanks

A Novel Blend Containing Pure Evaporated Sea Salt, Essential Electrolytes and Allantoin for Fish Health

Reduces fish stress & the risk of osmotic shock

Temporarily blocks nitrite toxicity

Helps to promote slime coat

Improves fish gill function

Microbe-Lift Therapeutic Salt For Quarantine Tanks reduces the amount of energy a fish must expend to maintain osmotic balance. In fresh water fish, this energy can be substantial. If your fish is suffering as a result of a nitrite spike (a.k.a. Brown Blood Disease), Microbe-Lift Therapeutic Salt acts to slow the rate of nitrite uptake - possibly the difference between survival and death. With electrolytes, minerals and Allantoin, which accelerates wound and fin healing, Microbe-Lift Therapeutic Salt For Quarantine Tanks provides the necessary elements pond fish require to reduce stress and develop a healthy slime coat.

Caution - Be especially careful when adding any salt to tanks that contain aquatic plants as salt can have a toxic effect. Before adding salt to your tank, remove any zeolite products. Fish tend to emit excessive amounts of ammonia when salted, so be sure to test your water for ammonia spikes with Microbe-Lift Ammonia Test Strips. Do not overdose.

Directions - Combine Microbe-Lift Therapeutic Salt For Quarantine Tanks and pond water in a bucket and then spread the slurry around the perimeter of your tank. Salt-resistant parasites require up to 21-days exposure at 75°F. For stress reduction, use as needed. When changing water, use a salt test kit and add salt to return to 0.3% (1/2 cup per 10 gal. level). Salt will not evaporate from tank and must be removed through water changes.

Microbe-Lift Therapeutic Salt For Quarantine Tanks Dosage
For Small Ponds:	½ (120g) per 10 gal. (38L) of pond water
For Large Ponds:	5 cups (1.13 kg) per 100 gal. (378L) of pond water
For Stress Reduction:	2 tbs. (30g) per 10 gal. · 1 ½ cups (360 g) per 100 gal
As A Topical Statement:	Mix salt with tank water until a thick paste consistency. Use a basting brush to apply directly to excessive slime areas, reddened spots or potential problem areas on head, back or underbelly. Be careful not to get salt into eyes or gills.
For Salt Dip:	Mix 5 cups of salt into 10 gals. of water. Add fish, one at a time. Watch until fish gasps and begins to turn over. Then scoop fish out with a sock net and immediately place fish into fresh clean water. Estimated duration: 3-5 minutes. Fish should be monitored continuously while in the salt dip and removed immediately at the first sign of stress.
For Stress Reduction:	2 tbs. (30g) per 10 gal. · 1 ½ cups (360 g) per 100 gal

Microbe-Lift High Growth & Energy

With Added Color Enhancer's

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^oF (20^oC). 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.

Microbe-Lift Romet TC

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.

Microbe-Lift Praziquantel

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

MICROBE-LIFT/PRAZIQUANTEL 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/PRAZIQUANTEL IS harmless to all species of fishes including fry, and it is non toxic to plants and harmless to biological filtration.

Contains:
PRAZIQUANTEL 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 Praziquantel 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/Praziquantel 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/Praziquantel. 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 Praziquantel 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.

Microbe-Lift Broad Spectrum Disease Treatment

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 degrees (F), thus allowing treatment in early Spring and late Fall.
Directions for Use
Add 3.5 fl.oz. (1,000 mL) of MICROBE-LIFT/BSDT for every 1,000 gallons of water to be treated. As with all disease treatments an initial partial water change of at least 25% water change. The treatment may be repeated every 8 to 12 hours depending upon the response of the fishes to the treatment. Do NOT bypass your bio-filters, allowing a more comprehensive treatment of the entire pond system.

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

MICROBE-LIFT ®Activated Carbon

Removes Organic Pollutants, Discoloration and Odors in Ponds and Water Gardens
Activated Coal-Based Carbon Provides Optimal Pore Structure for Fast Absorption of Contaminants

MICROBE-LIFT®/ACTIVATED CARBON maximizes the removal of contaminants, helping to keep water clean and clear. MICROBE-LIFT®/ACTIVATED CARBON is a coal-based carbon for se in decorative ponds and water gardens. Fast-acting and highly-activated, it can be used in all types filters to aggressively eliminate: odors, discoloration caused by tannis from decayed leaves (tea colored water), organic debris pollutants, pesticides, detergents and toxins, as well as medications, without releasing phosphates or causing unwanted growth. Activated carbon attracts pollutants which “stick” to it like a magnet. Carbon cannot be reactivated like zeolite. Activated carbon can remove some chlorine and chloramines from city tap water. The amount of removal is based on the amount of chlorine/chloramines in the water and the amount of carbon used.

Caution
Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, flush eyes thoroughly with cold water.

Directions
Place desired amount of MICROBE-LIFT®/ACTIVATED CARBON into a media bag. Rinse in cold running water as carbon is characteristically dusty. Position the media bag for maximum water flow through the carbon. It is recommended that you test your water weekly. Use MICROBE-LIFT® TEST STRIPS.

Microbe-Lift Algaway 5.4 Algaecide

Microbe-Lift Algaway Dosage
Volume of water to treat (gallons)	Dosage
50	30 drops.
120	2 teaspoons
360	2 tablespoons

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 wit 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.
