A non-phosphate buffer formulated to raise pH and buffer your aquarium water when used with MICROBE-LIFT/Aqua Acid Buffer. These two buffers are dedicated for the planted aquarium or for very hard water where phosphate buffers may pose an algae problem.
MICROBE-LIFT/Aqua Alkaline Buffer, when combined with MICROBE-LIFT/Aqua Acid Buffer, will buffer between 6.0 and 8.7. It is very gentle, safe and revitalizes the freshwater environment. This product is compatible with all other MICROBE-LIFT Buffers.
Adjusts pH Higher to Any Range Between 6.0 - 8.7*
Raises Carbonate Hardness (KH)
*When used in conjunction with Aqua Acid Buffer
Note: When used by itself this product will raise the pH to 8.2-8.3.

Ecological Laboratories offers the highest quality bacterial count and the highest treatment per oz. of any commercial spore based bacterial product available today. The following strains are contained in this formulation: Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus mojavensis, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus pumilus, and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens.
Specially formulated to keep farm retention and irrigation ponds clean and clear.
The specialized bacteria in PBL and HCSC have been chosen to naturally eliminate organic waste and sludge while improbing water quality and reducing nitrate compounds and phosphates. These undesirable compounds can lead to unwanted algae and weed growth.
Microbe-Lift bacterial products are safe for people, livestock, fish, birds, and all wildlife.
Each kit contains 5 gallons of ML/Professional Blend Liquid (PBL) and 1 gallon of ML/High Count Spore Concentrate (HCSC).
Particularly for African Cichlids, make frequent partial water changes (20%- 40% every 2-3 weeks) and readjust pH as necessary.

Ingredients:
Contains a proprietary blend of four sodium and bicarbonate salts, together with essential trace elements which occur naturally in the African "Rift Lakes" Cichlid-waters of Lake Malawi, Victoria and Tanganyika.
Cautions
Keep out of the reach of children.
Follow directions carefully.
Avoid inhaling powder-dust.

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.
Available Sizes:
4 fl. oz. (118 mL.) (SBH04) Treats a 30 gal. tank for 16 weeks.
8 fl. oz. (251 mL.) (SBH08) Treats a 65 gal. tank for 32 weeks.
