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

Available Sizes

32 oz. (MLBFBQ) Treats up to 500 gals. for 10 treatments or 1,000 gals. for 8 treatments.

Filter Pad Bacterial Inoculant

MICROBE-LIFT/PL Gel is a technological breakthrough because it's the first product that puts the bacteria right where you want it and it stays there! MICROBE-LIFT/PL Gel will quickly attach to and populate any filter media including foam, strapping, floss, bio-balls, spring flo, ceramic media, etc. This will help to rapidly establish the necessary biological activity in your filter to stabilize your pond's environment quickly. It will also help restore this activity to your filter when you clean or change the media in your filter. Convenient, Easy-to-Use, Flip-Top Squeeze Bottle! For Maximum Shelf Life, Store In A Cool Place

Easily applies to the filter pads/media without running or getting messy
Contains the same spectrum of bacteria found in MICROBE-LIFT/PL
Contains naturally occurring biopolymers, helping organisms quickly attach to the media allowing for an 80% reduction in filter start-up time
Helps to stabilize pond environment quickly upon startup and to eliminate transient instability that can occur when filter media is cleaned or replaced
Allows for more frequent cleaning of filters without subsequent instability if a pond has a high solids loading where frequent cleaning is beneficial
Reduces the frequency of cleaning by accelerating the breakdown of organic solids that can lead to high maintenance requirements
Helps to establish denitrification in the filter which can lower nitrate levels in the pond

Available Sizes

8 oz. (GEL8) Treats up to 200 gals. for 4 treatments.
16 oz. (GEL16) Treats up to 1,000 gals. for 5 treatments.
