Designed to raise the level of magnesium safely in a marine system and will not upset the ionic balance.

This concentrated supplement contains over 72,000 ppm of cationic magnesium. It is nitrate, phosphate and gluconate free. Magnesium has an important role in keeping concentrations of calcium in the marine system. If the concentrations of magnesium drops it will be very difficult to increase the concentrations of calcium. Due to the rapid bonding of calcium and carbonates in the marine system, this is usually manifested by what is referred to as a snow storm (precipitate) upon addition of calcium or alkaline buffer. The concentration of magnesium should be maintained at 1,320 mg/L. (1,320 ppm) natural seawater concentration. MICROBE-LIFT/Magnesium Supplement is a bio-available natural component. MICROBE-LIFT/Magnesium Supplement does not require any pre-dissolving and is an essential element for hard and soft corals, which is normally depleted by filtration and coral absorption. Magnesium Supplement is ionically balanced for reef and marine aquaria. It is not necessary to use more magnesium supplement than recommended to increase and maintain the concentration level.

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.

Cautions

Do not use with any other medications or treatments
Do not use with any algaecides or copper based products
Avoid contact with eyes. If contact happens, flush eyes thoroughly with cold water
Keep out of reach of children

This product is intended for use with all ornamental and aquarium fish only, and may not be used for fish intended for human consumption.

Available Sizes

8 fl. oz. (236 mL.) (HERB08) Treats up to 1,180 gal. (4,467 L.)
16 fl. oz. (473 mL.) (HERB16) Treats up to 2,365 gal. (8,952 L.)

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.

has been submitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)

This product does not contain ingredients that may harm corals

DOWNLOAD SDS MICROBE-LIFT/Gel Filter Cartridge Inoculant will quickly attach to and populate all brands of filter cartridges and all styles of media including foam, floss, bio-balls, ceramic media, etc. This will help rapidly establish the necessary biological activity in your filter to stabilize your aquarium's environment quickly. It will also help to restore the activity to your filter when you clean or change the media and when you replace your filter cartridge. A technological breakthrough because it is the first product that lets you put the bacteria right where you want it and it STAYS THERE. For SALT & FRESH WATER

Easily applies to filter cartridge pads/media without running or getting messy
Contains naturally occurring bio-polymers that help the organisms quickly attach to media allowing for 80% reduction in filter start-up time
Helps to stabilize aquarium environment quickly upon startup and eliminates transient instability that can occur when filter media is cleaned or replaced. You should replace your filter cartridge after every 6 inoculations
Allows for more frequent cleaning of filters without subsequent instability if an aquarium 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 establish denitrification in the filter; which can lower nitrate levels in the aquarium
Contains 2.5 million CFU (Colony forming units) per mL. of gel
Immediately establishes biological activity
Quickly stabilizers aquarium environments
Use when inserting a new cartridge in your filter or after every cartridge cleaning
Use whenever placing new filter media in your aquarium filtering system

An Aqueous Reef Buffer System & an Ionically Balanced Combination of Necessary Trace Elements in One Simple System!

Automatically Sets pH to 8.2 - 8.3 MICROBE-LIFT/Complete is ionically balanced with trace elements for reef systems and will create a buffered system as well. A pH of 8.0 to 8.3 and an alkalinity of 2.9 to 4.0 meq/L. (8 to 11 dKH) is necessary for salt water and reef aquariums (fish only marine aquariums need to maintain 3.5 to 5.5 meq/L. or 10 to 14 dKH) and calcium levels should be at 400 to 450 ppm. Test calcium and alkalinity levels and adjust to your individual system. Do not add more than 0.5 mL per gallon per 12 hour period. Add calcium daily and this product for optimal results. If magnesium is low use MICROBE-LIFT/Magnesium Supplement. Regular water changes are recommended. You should use the MICROBE-LIFT line of reef products to simultaneously replace any minerals that are low. Optimum water conditions are a necessity for good reef systems. Where possible start with R/O water. If tap water is used be sure to condition the water with MICROBE-LIFT/XTreme or MICROBE-LIFT/Dechlorinator +. Routine water changes are a necessity and Alkalinity are an important part of the reef system. Always use MICROBE-LIFT/R/O Water Conditioner for all water changes and start ups.
