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.

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 & 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 newly developed proprietary formulation that was developed to provide Iron in a chelated form easily available for caulerpa and calcareous algae. It will replace the iron normally lost through, filtration, livestock absorption, and protein skimmers.
MICROBE-LIFT/Chelated Iron (Plus Buffer) will help maintain the reef water to a proper pH balance.
Why MICROBE-LIFT/Reef & Marine Supplements? Sea salt mixes can contain 70 or more of natural saltwater’s essential and trace components. These help sustain water quality for the fish, corals, invertebrates and/or macro-algae as nature intended. In an aquarium “closed system”, protein skimmers, ozonizers, carbon filters and dynamic biochemical processes can reduce the important components, including calcium, strontium, molybdenum, iodide, bromide, iron, vitamins, amino acids and essential trace minerals.
Iron is beneficial to all photosynthetic invertebrates and plants. Improves growth, coloring, and expansion.
