Phosphate Remover
Phosphate Remover Image

Phosphate Remover

Phosphate Remover Quickly removes phosphate Improves turbidity ML/PR is harmless to invertebrates, and has been tested with and shown to be safe with most species of marine fish. Fish of the Acanthuridae family (Tangs, Surgeonfish) have shown a sensitivity to this product. We DO NOT recommend the use of ML/PR where these fish are present. Due to that fact that the chemical properties of the water in every aquarium are unique as a result of varying source water quality, the live and inert components introduced into the aquarium, and the chemical treatments used, it is impossible to predict how the product will react in every aquarium environment. If you notice an adverse effect on any of the aquatic life in your aquarium when using the product, discontinue use immediately and perform a partial water change. DO NOT OVERDOSE. USE ONLY THE AMOUNT DIRECTED FOR YOUR SYSTEM. DOSE FOR THE ACTUAL VOLUME OF WATER, NOT THE TANK CAPACITY.

These bacteria are compatible with biological filters and UV lights. The UV lights should be turned off for 48-72 hours after the introduction of this product. This will allow the bacteria to progress through their most active growth stage.

MICROBE-LIFT/Special Blend can not neutralize chlorine, chloramine or heavy metals.

MICROBE-LIFT/Special Blend works well with activated carbon and is compatible with copper based products.

Since each bottle of MICROBE-LIFT is grown individually, color variations may exist from bottle to bottle.  These variations in color are not indicative of variations in product quality. Any floating particles present are suspended biofilm which slough off the sides of the bottle. Dimpling or expansion of the container is caused by pressure differences resulting from temperature variations due to the fact that the bottle is sealed.

*Saltwater environments – the bacteria in this product will remain effective when used in marine environments with a specific gravity of 1.017 to 1.025. In marine tanks, add the aquarium salt mix and allow the water to circulate for 24 hours, then check and adjust the density. Add the bacteria after the new water has circulated for the 24-hour period.

Saltwater oceans are a highly stable environment with very little fluctuation in pH. The ocean waters dilute fish waste and organic matter. The bacteria in MICROBE-LIFT/Special Blend provides the assistance needed to break down the decaying organic matter and cycle certain elements, e.g. nitrogen and sulfur, etc. which may build up in your tank.

This product is NOT a chemical. It is harmless to humans, animals, fish and plants. Since we cannot control the pre-existing dynamics of individual aquaria, the above information and instructions are subject to many variables. Many situations may be unique in nature.

MICROBE-LIFT/Special Blend has a hydrogen sulfide odor which will dissipate quickly.

  • Not for use with burrowing or sand sifting fish or invertebrates.

Description

Usage

  • It is recommended to use a minimum of 1/2 lb. per gallon of aquarium water.
  • For planted, aquascaped deep bed aquariums use 3/4 lb. minimum to accomplish your desired effect.
  • Using more then 2 lb. per gallon of water is not recommended.

pH Buffer

  • The high ion exchange capacity is 45 meq per 100 g.
  • This assists in absorbing excess alkalinity or acidity in your aquarium’s water.
  • MICROBE-LIFT/BLOOM & GROW Biologically Alive Substrate creates a natural environment.
  • The material is natural and is thermally activated through drying at temperatures exceeding 245º F.
  • This provides assurance that the biological substrate is clean, and dry inert mineral.

Cleaning

  • Little if any cleaning is required.
  • After placing the substrate into your aquarium lay the bag on top of the substrate.
  • Slowly introduce the water into the tank.
  • This will minimize turbidity.

Planted Aquariums

  • For planted aquariums you might want to consider a bottom layer of quality soil pellets or soil fertilizer for the first one-third of your total substrate.
  • The top two-thirds should be MICROBE-LIFT/BLOOM & GROW Biologically Alive Substrate.
  • This combination will provide plants with an ample supply of nutrients which will then be readily available to the plant roots.

We also recommend using MICROBE-LIFT/BLOOM & GROW Microbial Root Dip for optimal root development.

The negatively charged substrate sites attract and hold positive ions until needed by plant roots.

100% Natural Expellant for Parasitic Diseases

Provides a chemical-free treatment effective against parasitic diseases including:

  • White Spot (Ich)
  • Costia
  • Flukes (gill & skin)
  • Trichodina
  • Chilodonella
  • Oodinium

MICROBE-LIFT/Herbtana is a unique, herbal, immune-enhancing stimulant, which reduces: skin flukes, gill flukes, Ich, Oodinium, Costia, Chilodonella and Trichodina. Parasitic infections are characterized by symptoms, such as: milky skin, flashing and heavy breathing.

Parasites are generally present on most fish at very low levels at all times. These are naturally controlled by the fish’s immune system. When stress levels increase, the ability of the immune system to respond to its requirement to control the natural level of parasites is directly affected. This poor response allows parasites to increase in numbers, thus causing any of the serious above mentioned health issues in the host fish.

MICROBE-LIFT/Herbtana supports the fish’s immune system, driving off the excess parasites. Since they cannot return to the fish during treatment, the majority of the parasites will starve without a host.

MICROBE-LIFT/Herbtana is safe for all aquatic life. It is a great aid to use when acclimating fish to a new environment.

MICROBE-LIFT/Herbtana has a shelf life of 2 years, provided it is kept at room temperature and stored in its original bottle. Do not allow to freeze.

MICROBE-LIFT/Special Blend can not neutralize chlorine, chloramine or heavy metals.

MICROBE-LIFT/Special Blend works well with activated carbon and is compatible with copper based products.

Since each bottle of MICROBE-LIFT is grown individually, color variations may exist from bottle to bottle.  These variations in color are not indicative of variations in product quality. Any floating particles present are suspended biofilm which slough off the sides of the bottle. Dimpling or expansion of the container is caused by pressure differences resulting from temperature variations due to the fact that the bottle is sealed.

*Saltwater environments – the bacteria in this product will remain effective when used in marine environments with a specific gravity of 1.017 to 1.025. In marine tanks, add the aquarium salt mix and allow the water to circulate for 24 hours, then check and adjust the density. Add the bacteria after the new water has circulated for the 24-hour period.

Saltwater oceans are a highly stable environment with very little fluctuation in pH. The ocean waters dilute fish waste and organic matter. The bacteria in MICROBE-LIFT/Special Blend provides the assistance needed to break down the decaying organic matter and cycle certain elements, e.g. nitrogen and sulfur, etc. which may build up in your tank.

This product is NOT a chemical. It is harmless to humans, animals, fish and plants. Since we cannot control the pre-existing dynamics of individual aquaria, the above information and instructions are subject to many variables. Many situations may be unique in nature.

Carbonate Alkalinity (KH) Test Kit Image

Carbonate Alkalinity (KH) Test Kit

MICROBE-LIFT/KH Test Kit for Carbonate Alkalinity level in pond or aquarium:

Importance for natural biological ammonia removal process, referred to as Nitrification:

  • Requires the presence of KH (carbonate alkalinity) at all times
  • Utilizes 7.1 mg of KH for every 1 mg of ammonia removed
  • Continuously depletes KH so KH must be monitored and restored as needed with MICROBE-LIFT/KH Bio-Active Booster (ML/KH).
  • Works in Fresh & Salt Water
  • Maintain 100 ppm KH at all times to assure nitrification.

Should KH carbonate levels fall below the necessary level, nitrification will stop and fail to start again. With the loss of KH (carbonate alkalinity) pH levels will vary and be difficult to control, as KH stabilizes pH. Test your Tap Water, Tank Water, and new water when doing water change.

MICROBE-LIFT/Artemiss will help boost the natural immune system of the fish with no risk of building up future resistance as can occur when antibiotics are used.

MICROBE-LIFT/Artemiss will help to drive pathogenic bacteria off the fish, and, without a host, ultimately the bacteria will die.

MICROBE-LIFT/Artemiss stimulates and accelerates regeneration of damaged tissue until no trace of the wound remains.

MICROBE-LIFT/Artemiss is safe for all aquatic life. It is a great aid to use when acclimating fish to a new environment.

MICROBE-LIFT/Artemiss has a shelf life of 2 years, provided it is kept at room temperature and stored in its original bottle. Do not allow to freeze.

Herbtana Reef and Marine

100% Natural Expellant for Parasitic Diseases

Provides a chemical-free treatment effective against parasitic diseases including:

  • White Spot (Ich)
  • Costia
  • Flukes (gill & skin)
  • Trichodina
  • Chilodonella
  • Oodinium

MICROBE-LIFT/Herbtana is a unique, herbal, immune-enhancing stimulant, which reduces: skin flukes, gill flukes, Ich, Oodinium, Costia, Chilodonella and Trichodina. Parasitic infections are characterized by symptoms, such as: milky skin, flashing and heavy breathing.

Parasites are generally present on most fish at very low levels at all times. These are naturally controlled by the fish’s immune system. When stress levels increase, the ability of the immune system to respond to its requirement to control the natural level of parasites is directly affected. This poor response allows parasites to increase in numbers, thus causing any of the serious above mentioned health issues in the host fish.

MICROBE-LIFT/Herbtana supports the fish’s immune system, driving off the excess parasites. Since they cannot return to the fish during treatment, the majority of the parasites will starve without a host.

MICROBE-LIFT/Herbtana is safe for all aquatic life. It is a great aid to use when acclimating fish to a new environment.

Cautions

  • Do not use with any other medications or treatments
  • Do not use with any algaecides or copper based products
