Super Start Bead Filter

DOWNLOAD SDS

For All Bead & Biological Filters

Like most types of mechanical/biological filters, bead filters rely on the use of a media that provides a high surface area/volume ratio. This allows for support of the necessary amount of biomass, in the form of a biofilm, to properly remove organic and inorganic waste from the water, making it suitable for fish and other normal aquatic life. Within the biofilm it is possible to carry out aerobic, facultative anaerobic, anaerobic and chemosynthetic processes if all the necessary bacterial species are present. Consequently, for these filters to function, it is necessary to have proper numbers and distribution of species. MICROBE-LIFT/Super Start contains aerobic heterotrophs, facultative anaerobes, anaerobic and chemotrophic bacteria capable of carrying out all of the necessary processes for optimum performance of bead filters.

Rapid establishment of organic removal capabilities
Rapid establishment of nitrogen cycling including nitrification and denitrification
Reduces buildup of residue in the filter, decreasing maintenance and improving filter efficiency by avoiding "channeling"
Rapid recovery of filter after use of medications and antibiotics
Breakdown of residual medications, like tea tree oils and formalin products, which are inhibitory to most bacteria, after use
Effective over a wide pH range
Significantly reduces noxious odors caused by algae, fish, waste and urine
Reduces hydrogen sulfide, which creates strong, offensive odors

A breakthrough in carbon source technology that provides cutting-edge developments in microbiology and biophysics!

Increases Nutrient Availability
Contains high quality peat extract
Contains humic, fulvic acids
Contains a blend of naturally occurring vegetative and spore-forming microorganisms
Helps nutrients like iron and nitrogen become more bio-available to plant life

MICROBE-LIFT/BLOOM & GROW™ Nourish contains combinations of naturally occuring microorganisms that share key traits for plant enhancement. The photosynthetic organisms will inhabit the root and vascular systems of the plant helping to modify, retain and transport nutrients. Humic is the end product of organic matter decomposition.

Calcium Montmorillonite Clay (CMC)

DOWNLOAD SDS

100% Natural Formulation For Pond Clarity & Koi Health, Growth & Color

It is said the secret to healthy, colorful, Japanese koi is the clay mud in which they are raised. MICROBE-LIFT/Calcium Montmorillonite Clay comes from one of the highest calcium clay deposits in the world. Calcium based clay may help your pond water to produce some of the healthiest and deep colored koi you've ever raised (or seen)! The koi's markings will become brighter and more dominant. Plastic pre-formed ponds, as well as vinyl, cement and rubber ponds, do not have any nutrients on their bottom. In the wild, carp use mud to get many of their micronutrients and minerals. MICROBE-LIFT/Calcium Montmorillonite Clay has a negative electric charge which will bind the clay particles to positively charged toxins in the water. MICROBE-LIFT/Calcium Montmorillonite Clay is not only a nutrient source for koi, it will also "polish" your pond water. The clay acts as a natural flocculent and the particles that are bound up are filtered out of the pond. The clay can help make pond water sparkling clean (polishing). Clay is used in ponds to achieve many goals:

Provides fish nutrition through mineral ingestion
Improves fish color
Detoxifies and clarifies pond water (polishing)

Available Sizes

2 lbs. (MLKKB2) Treats 200 gal. pond for 2 years.

Totally Active Clarifier (TAC)

Dry Bacterial Cultures No Fillers! 100% Active Ingredients! 100% Effective! 100% Water Soluble!

The Differences Between MICROBE-LIFT/PL & MICROBE-LIFT/TAC

Since Ecological Laboratories is the producer of the most popular biological pond clarifier on the market, there will inevitably be questions about the differences between the two products and why one would be selected over the other. Here is a list of the basic differences with the features and benefits of those notable differences:

MICROBE-LIFT/TAC does not have photosynthetic bacteria, which is one of the keys to the performance of MICROBE-LIFT/PL and what sets it above all other biological products for ponds. Unfortunately, no one has been successful to this point at preserving photosynthetic cultures in dry form. These photosynthetic bacteria are a valuable source of MICROBE-LIFT/PL's ability to clarify water and are capable of tapping into a potent source of energy to do this-the sun. Many of these photosynthetic bacteria are also potent detoxifiers of water.
The organisms in MICROBE-LIFT/TAC are not grown together in the same container, as the MICROBE-LIFT/PL is. As a result, you don't get the same "ecosystem in a bottle" that you get with the MICROBE-LIFT/PL, and as a result, not quite the same ability to ecologically balance your pond.
The MICROBE-LIFT/TAC has powdered activated carbon which is well known for its abilities to clarify water by providing a point surface for bacteria to grow on. It then acts as a weighting agent to help these bacteria settle to the bottom, thus removing turbidity associated with dispersed bacteria. The carbon also acts as a detoxifier by adsorbing micro amounts of toxic materials; i.e. pesticides that can make their way into a pond.
MICROBE-LIFT/TAC also has sodium bicarbonate-a buffer that can help stabilize the pH.
MICROBE-LIFT/TAC has sea salt that helps to induce a protective slime layer on fish.
MICROBE-LIFT/TAC dry formulation has no odor.

While MICROBE-LIFT/PL has become the #1 pond clarifier asked for by brand name, there have been, and will always be, people who prefer products in a dry powder form. Because there are opportunities to formulate certain dry components into a dry product that would not be practical to mix into a liquid, Ecological Laboratories has developed MICROBE-LIFT/TAC.

8 oz. (MLXTAC8) Treats 80-250 gal. pond for 28 weeks.
1 lb. (MLXTAC16) Treats 500 gal. pond for 16 weeks.

KH – Alkalinity Bio-Active Booster

DOWNLOAD SDS Essential for Nitrification Use for:

Tap Water
Tank Water
Change Water

When pond carbonate levels fall below the necessary level, nitrification will stop and will fail to start again. With the loss of KH (carbonate alkalinity) pH levels will vary and pH will be difficult to control as KH stabilizes pond pH. The natural biological ammonia removal process in ponds referred to as nitrification and:

Requires the presence of KH (carbonate alkalinity) at all times.
Utilizes 7.1 mg. of KH for every 1 mg. of ammonia removed.
Continuously depletes KH so KH must be monitored and restored as necessary with MICROBE-LIFT/KH Bio-Active Booster.

KH must remain at or above 100ppm at all times.

Aqua Xtreme

A Full-Function, Buffered Water Conditioner

Detoxifies Nitrite
Removes & Detoxifies Chlorine & Ammonia
Destroys Chloramines
Detoxifies Copper & Heavy Metals
Boosts Alkalinity
Adds Essential Electrolytes
Adds A 3-Part Slime Coat Replacer
Helps to Reduce Stress
Instantly Ages Pond Water

MICROBE-LIFT/Aqua XTreme is a convenient liquid, single-phase, full-function water conditioner that has been scientifically formulated for use in koi and goldfish ponds. MICROBE-LIFT/Aqua XTreme should be used when: conditioning new water for ponds; adding (or prior to adding) water, new fish or plants to ponds; and transporting koi and goldfish. It is very important to use MICROBE-LIFT/Aqua XTreme when adding water to a pond that contains chloramines. Conventional dechlorinators will detoxify the chlorine in the chloramines but do nothing to the ammonia released from the chloramines. MICROBE-LIFT/Aqua XTreme will detoxify both the chlorine and the ammonia in chloramines.

Recommendations

Perform regular water changes to keep alkalinity (acid-neutralizing capacity) and pH stable.
Use MICROBE-LIFT/Aqua XTreme as needed to eliminate and control ammonia at the regular dosage rate for each 1mg/L, or fraction thereof, of measured total ammonia for each 0.85 mg/L of measured total ammonia-nitrogen.
Use a salicylate (indolphenol) type total ammonia test kit.

Please Note: Do not use with a permanganate-based or chlorite-based treatment. Nessler's total ammonia test kits will give a false high or off scale reading. Winkler's dissolved oxygen test will give a false low or zero reading. Microbe-Lift/Aqua Xtreme label states "Please Note- Do not use with a permanganate-based or chlorite-based treatment..." This is due to the permanganate- or chlorite-based chemicals having the capacity to break down part of the polymerization process necessary to remove chlorine-ammonia-nitrite and heavy metals from your pond water. *Wait 48 hours between the use of Microbe-Lift/Aqua Xtreme and the use of any Pond Fish Treatments containing ingredients you have doubts about. (i.e. - potassium permanganate, hydrochloric acid, etc)

Broad Spectrum Disease Treatment (BSDT)

DOWNLOAD SDS Use for diseases caused by Ichthyophthirius (Ich), Chilodonella, Costia, Oodinium, Trichodina, fungal & fungus infections Formulated with Malachite Green & Formalin MICROBE-LIFT/Broad Spectrum Disease Treatment is the pre-eminent broad spectrum malachite green and formalin treatment.

Malachite green and formalin are two drugs that are more effective and less toxic in combination than when used individually. This is the definition of synergism. What makes MICROBE-LIFT/Broad Spectrum Disease Treatment the preeminent product in this field is the fact that it is formulated with malachite green chloride, instead of the more toxic oxalate salt. As with any malachite green and formalin treatment, do NOT use with other medications. MICROBE-LIFT/Broad Spectrum Disease Treatment is the safest and most effective treatment for the control of diseases caused by Ichthyophthirius (Ich), Costia, Trichodina, Chilodonella, Oodinium and fungal infections.
