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 MICROBE-LIFT/Barley Straw Pellets +, only the breakdown compounds are released faster: dispersing equally throughout the water; reacting photochemically 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.
Also Note: Fish will not eat the barley pellets as they contain no food value.

MICROBE-LIFT/PL & MICROBE-LIFT/Oxy Pond Cleaner will safely & effectively break down unsightly debris, prevent odor & deep clean rocks in your pondless waterfall!
MICROBE-LIFT/PL is the #1 selling bacterial additive on the market! It will create a cleaner environment for your pondless waterfall by dissolving away organic sludge. It seeds and maintains biological filters and significantly reduces hydrogen sulfide and other strong, offensive, noxious odors by breaking down dead algae and reducing the buildup of bird droppings, dead leaves and fish feed, improving dissolved oxygen levels and reducing biological oxygen demand (B.O.D.)
MICROBE-LIFT/PL is effective over a wide range of pH conditions and contains photosynthetic bacteria which reduces cloudy water by promoting flocculation and settling of inorganic particles.
MICROBE-LIFT/Oxy Pond Cleaner uses Oxygen Power to safely breakdown all areas of unsightly, light-to-heavy debris accumulation on rocks, waterfalls and streams, and deep cleans rocks and planters. Especially helpful on waterfalls, it oxidizes and detoxifies, helping to prevent pond odors. MICROBE-LIFT/Oxy Pond Cleaner is 100% safe when use as directed.
MICROBE-LIFT/Oxy Pond Cleaner works best in warmer weather. To achieve the best results, shut down waterfalls and clean out as much accumulated debris as possible. Treatment is as simple as sprinkling over areas with debris build-up! To maintain a continued proper ecosystem in your pondless waterfall, always add MICROBE-LIFT/PL or any bacterial/ enzymatic treatment, 48 hours after using MICROBE-LIFT/Oxy Pond Cleaner.

A Full-function, Buffered, Water Conditioner For Aquariums
MICROBE-LIFT/XTreme is a full-function water conditioner in a single product. It has been formulated to condition new water (instantly "ages"). It should be used when setting up a new pond or aquarium, making water changes, when adding new fishes, invertebrates, amphibians or plants.
Instantly "Ages" Water
Detoxifies Nitrite
Removes Ammonia
Destroys and removes chloramines
Removes Chlorine
Detoxifies heavy metals
Adds a multi-part skin-slime replacer
Adds essential electrolytes
Boosts alkalinity
MICROBE-LIFT/XTreme has been formulated with buffers to help stabilize the treated water's pH and alkalinity (acid-neutralizing capacity). It removes both ammonia and chlorine by chemically reacting with them.
Essential electrolytes not only assist in buffering, but also assist in preventing osmotic shock often caused by new water. MICROBE-LIFT/XTreme detoxifies heavy metals (e.g. copper and lead) by both chelation and precipitation.
Recommendations
Perform regular water changes to keep the alkalinity (acid-neutralizing capacity) and pH stable. Use MICROBE-LIFT/XTreme, at the standard dosage rate, to eliminate and control each measured 1 mg/L, or fraction thereof, of total ammonia (= 0.85 mg/L total ammonia-nitrogen). Use a salicylate (indolphenol) type total ammonia test kit. For dissolved oxygen testing use either a DO meter or an indigo carmine test.
Contraindications
Do not use with permanganate-based or chlorite-based treatments.
Nessler's total ammonia tests will give false, high (or off scale) readings.
Winkler dissolved oxygen tests will give false, low (or zero) readings.

*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 new 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 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/TheraP provides the assistance needed to break down the decaying organic matter and cycle certain elements, e.g. carbon and nitrogen, etc. which may build up in your tank.
MICROBE-LIFT/TheraP has a hydrogen sulfide odor, which will dissipate quickly.
All MICROBE-LIFT bacterial products may be used together. However when using multiple MICROBE-LIFT bacterial products, reduce the dosage rate of the 2nd product by 50%. After administering the bacteria, monitor your pH.
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
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/Rock & Substrate Cleaner speeds the biological breakdown of slow to degrade organic waste matter from tank bottoms that may become toxic to turtles. As organic solids accumulate on the tank bottom they begin to break down, releasing toxic gases and by-products to the surrounding environment.
MICROBE-LIFT/Rock & Substrate Cleaner biologically degrades bottom organic sludge and muck, reducing or eliminating the potential harmful gaseous compounds, and helps to clarify your tank water at the same time.
Provides rapid natural sludge reduction
80% faster than bacterial products alone
Cleans turtle shells & limbs
Helps to degrade fecal matter
Improves filtration
MICROBE-LIFT/Rock & Substrate Cleaner will discolor your tank water for 48-96 hours after application. The length of time to clear the discoloration will depend on your filter system.
MICROBE-LIFT/Rock & Substrate Cleaner will also help to clarify dirty tank water.
Cautions
Keep out of the reach of children.
Avoid skin or eye contact. If contact occurs, flush area thoroughly with cold water.
