Feed your pond fish MICROBE-LIFT/LEGACY Cold Weather Food (WHEAT GERM) during the colder weather periods of spring and fall when nighttime temperatures can go below 55°F (13°C). When pond water temperatures drop, fish require a highly digestible cool-water diet. Our MICROBE-LIFT/LEGACY Cold Weather Food (WHEAT GERM) formula is made with lesser amounts of protein and wheat germ which is easily digested and also contains a higher level of fats.
DOWNLOAD SDSEcological Laboratories believes variety is the spice of life and, as far as we know, we are the first fish food manufacturer to commercially produce a food with such variety! If you don't have time to cut up fruits and vegetables for your pond fish, feed them MICROBE-LIFT/LEGACY Summer Staple With Fruits and Greens. We've done the cutting and blending for you, with apples, apricots, kiwis, mangos, papayas, peaches, pears, broccoli, cabbage, peas, red peppers, tomatoes, zucchini and spinach all in this scientific blend. Wow!

In the late spring when the warmer temperatures arrive, koi and goldfish need a boost of protein for growth since they have 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°F (20°C). Pond fish really start to grow at this temperature. You can use MICROBE-LIFT/LEGACY Growth & Energy Food up to four times per day. Feed between 2-3% of the fishes' body weight per day.

As the warmer weather sets in, begin increasing the frequency and quantity of your feedings. MICROBE-LIFT/LEGACY Summer Staple Food has animal protein and color enhancers that are needed during this season. The added color enhancers are made up of astaxanthin (crab shell), spirulina and krill-all which promote brilliant color development.
Will Get Your Pond Water Ready for a Clean & Clear Spring!
MICROBE-LIFT/Autumn / Winter Prep helps accelerate the decomposition of leaves, sediment and other organic matter during the fall and winter months. MICROBE-LIFT/Autumn / Winter Prep will also jump start your pond to a healthier environment in the spring.
MICROBE-LIFT/Autumn / Winter Prep is a two-part system of liquid bacteria and dry, water soluble packets containing a blend of cellulase enzymes, cellulase-producing bacteria and a cold weather bacteria. The cellulase enzymes, along with the cellulase-producing bacteria, are the key to accelerating the breakdown of leaves, organic sediment and sludge all winter long. The cold weather bacteria and liquid bacteria take care of the initial breakdown by-products.
Continues to provide sustained biological activity even in water temperatures under 40°F. (4°C.)
Especially Helpful for Ponds That Have a Rock or Gravel Bottom & Where Vacuuming is Impractical
MICROBE-LIFT/Sludge-Away is formulated specifically for the removal of organic bottom solids that are slow to degrade
MICROBE-LIFT/Sludge-Away works faster at warm water temperatures, however, it may be used effectively at any temperature year-round
Years in development, MICROBE-LIFT/Sludge-Away speeds the biological removal of slow-to-degrade organic waste matter from aquatic pond bottoms that may become toxic to fish and plant life. As organic solids accumulate on the pond bottom, they begin to break down releasing toxic gasses to the surrounding environment. These gaseous by-products endanger fish, marine life and plants. MICROBE-LIFT/Sludge-Away removes bottom organic sludge and muck-reducing or eliminating the potential harmful gaseous compounds-and helps clarify your pond water at the same time.
MICROBE-LIFT/Sludge-Away may slightly discolor pond water for a short while. Rocks along the edge may darken but will return to their natural color.
Provides "rapid and natural sludge and muck removal"
80% faster than competitive products
Binds phosphate
Organic and microbial based
Safe for fish, plants, pets and the environment
Helps improve pond clarity
100% active ingredients
Disperses quickly
MICROBE-LIFT/Sludge-Away Oxygen Demand
MICROBE-LIFT/Sludge-Away will accelerate the solubilization and biological digestion of organic solids in your pond. As a result of this increased oxygen demand, the Oxygen Uptake Rate (OUR) in your pond will increase in the process, along with your aquatic life's need for oxygen.

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 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.
