100% Natural Formulation For Pond Clarity & Koi Health, Growth & Color
It is said the secret to healthy, colorful, Japanese koi is the clay mud in which they are raised. MICROBE-LIFT/Calcium Montmorillonite Clay comes from one of the highest calcium clay deposits in the world. Calcium based clay may help your pond water to produce some of the healthiest and deep colored koi you've ever raised (or seen)! The koi's markings will become brighter and more dominant.
Plastic pre-formed ponds, as well as vinyl, cement and rubber ponds, do not have any nutrients on their bottom. In the wild, carp use mud to get many of their micronutrients and minerals. MICROBE-LIFT/Calcium Montmorillonite Clay has a negative electric charge which will bind the clay particles to positively charged toxins in the water. MICROBE-LIFT/Calcium Montmorillonite Clay is not only a nutrient source for koi, it will also "polish" your pond water. The clay acts as a natural flocculent and the particles that are bound up are filtered out of the pond.
The clay can help make pond water sparkling clean (polishing).
Clay is used in ponds to achieve many goals:
Provides fish nutrition through mineral ingestion
Improves fish color
Detoxifies and clarifies pond water (polishing)

For Maximum Pond Clarity Plus Enzymes, Barley Straw, Humates & Peat
This proprietary formulation of dry bacteria has a big PLUS - four additional natural ingredients! 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.

For Fresh & Salt Water
New and Improved Formula
Microbe-Lift / Dry Ammonia Remover uses a PATENTED process that removes chlorine, DESTROYS chloramines and completely ELIMINATES the ammonia that is left behind when the chloramine bond is broken.
Ship live animals without toxic ammonia problems for 72+ hours
Can be combined with antibiotics and anesthetics
Completely safe for biofilters
Tested with shrimp, shellfish, aquatic invertebrates
Suitable for Use with Fish & Shellfish Intended for Human Consumption.
Test with salicylic sp ammonia test kit. Ammonia Remover binds ammonia and converts it to a non-toxic form (ammonium) which is then removed by the filter.

MICROBE-LIFT/Defoamer gets rid of unsightly foam fast, leaving pond water clean and clear. Persistent foaming can indicate a heavy concentration of undissolved organics. Partial water changes can improve water quality which will help reduce foaming.
A proprietary formulation (polymeric blend) used to coagulate suspended solids in the pond water. After use, particles in the water settle to the bottom of the pond and/or filter out through the filter system.
Clears cloudy water
Safe for aquatic life and plants
Attracts suspended particles
Improves filtration

To condition water for new ponds, before, after or during water additions, or before adding new fish, amphibians, invertebrates or plants, add 1oz. (30 mL.) of MICROBE-LIFT/Super Dechlorinator + Water Conditioner per 1,000 gallons (3,785 L) of water.
When pond carbonate levels fall below the necessary level, nitrification will stop and will fail to start again. With the loss of KH (carbonate alkalinity) pH levels will vary and pH will be difficult to control as KH stabilizes pond pH.
The natural biological ammonia removal process in ponds referred to as nitrification and:
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 necessary with MICROBE-LIFT/KH Bio-Active Booster.
KH must remain at or above 100ppm at all times.
Available Sizes
50 Lbs. (22.67 kg.) (CABPXL) - approximately 1225 scoops (Blue) per container
Ingredients
Contains a proprietary blend of Carbonate Hardness constituents and bacterial cultures.
Cautions
Keep out of the reach of children
Follow directions carefully
Avoid eye contact
Avoid inhaling powder-dust
A full flat level scoop (enclosed) will raise the KH by approximately:
80/ppm in 30 gallons (113 L)
50/ppm in 50 gallons (189 L)
25/ppm in 100 gallons (378 L)
*TREATS AMOUNTS FOR WHOLE CONTAINER:
2 LBS
25 ppm→5,335 gal
50 ppm→2,667 gal
80 ppm→1,600 gal

25 ppm→21,340 gal
50 ppm→10,668 gal
80 ppm→6,400 gal
50 LBS
25 ppm→133,375 gal
50 ppm→66,675 gal
80 ppm→16,000 gal
Example:
To raise KH in 4,000 gal pond, wanting to keep the KH level above 80 ppm:
To raise by 25 ppm→ add 40 scoops
To raise by 50 ppm→ add 80 scoops
To raise by 80 ppm (in pond that has crashed)→ add 133 scoops!
[Ideal KH level in pond is 100-300 ppm/mg/L, with the higher the better, especially in heavily stocked ponds and lined ponds.]
