    Nitrifying Bacteria

    Contains: Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira and Nitrobactor Specially Formulated for Rapid Ammonia and Nitrite Reduction Decreases Ammonia & Nitrite Toxicity Treats up to 7,680 gal. (27,072 L.) MICROBE-LIFT/Nite-Out II is designed specifically for aquarium waters that contain marine life. Its highly-specialized microbial consortium of nitrifying cultures are specially formulated to eliminate ammonia via a natural biological process termed nitrification. The cultures contain in MICROBE-LIFT/Nite-Out II will establish, promote or stabilize and maintain nitrification in aquarium waters, eliminating the toxic effect of ammonia. MICROBE-LIFT/Nite-Out II liquid nitrifying bacteria contains select strains of Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira and Nitrobacter. Nitrosomonas oxidize ammonia to nitrite and Nitrobacter and Nitrospira oxidize nitrite to nitrate.

    Nitrification

    Nitrosomonas Nitrobacter
    NH3 => NO2 => NO3
    Ammonia Nitrite Nitrate
    MICROBE-LIFT/Nite-Out II comprises select microorganisms that are autotrophic – able to use carbon dioxide as the sole source of carbon – and are relatively slow growing, requiring specific conditions for optimum growth with typical cell divisions rates from 8 to 16 hours. Their performance and rate growth is impacted by the environmental parameters required for nitrification.

    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.

    Clean Aquarium Substrates Without Removing Them

    For SALT & FRESH WATER
    • Provides rapid and natural sludge & muck removal
    • 80% faster than bacterial products alone
    • Reduces and binds nutrients including phosphates
    • Organic and microbial based
    • Natural & Non-Caustic
    Years in development, MICROBE-LIFT/Gravel & Substrate Cleaner speeds the biological breakdown of slow to degrade organic waste matter from aquarium bottoms that may become toxic to fish and plant life. As organic solids accumulate on the aquarium bottom they begin to break down, releasing toxic gases and by -products to the surrounding environment. These gaseous by-products endanger fish, marine life, and plants. MICROBE-LIFT/Gravel & Substrate Cleaner biologically degrades bottom organic sludge and muck with minimal disturbance, reducing or eliminating the potential harmful gaseous compounds, and helps to clarify your aquarium water at the same time. MICROBE-LIFT/Gravel & Substrate Cleaner contains natural cellulosic matter, select biological accelerators and special microbes proven effective in aquarium sludge reduction. MICROBE-LIFT/Gravel & Substrate Cleaner will also help to clarify dirty aquarium water. Recommended for use with all MICROBE-LIFT bacteria and enzyme products. MICROBE-LIFT/Gravel & Substrate Cleaner will discolor your aquarium water for 48-96 hours after application. This product is black in color and may tint your aquarium water slightly. Do not be concerned. The active ingredient is a natural product and will help clarify the water as well as digest organics in the aquarium.

    • Reduces the frequency of cleaning
    • Good for salt and freshwater fish
    • Chemical free!
    • A new tank starter for biological cycling and boosting
    • An organic waste degrader
    • Naturally stimulates plant growth
    • Lowers ammonia levels and biologically reduces nitrates
    • Removes odors and clears cloudy water
    • Biological maintainer for established tanks
    • Enhances ability of plants to utilize light, water and nutrients
    • Breaks down residue on gravel, plants ,rocks, etc.
    • Breaks down protein foam

    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.
