DOWNLOAD SDS MICROBE-LIFT/Strontium & Molybdenum (Plus Buffer) are bio-available natural components that will provide for vibrant growth of corals, tubes, clams, and calcareous algae. MICROBE-LIFT/Strontium & Molybdenum (Plus Buffer) does not require any pre-dis-solving and are essential elements for hard an soft corals, which are normally depleted by filtration and coral absorption. This proprietary formulation will help maintain the reef waters proper pH in addition to providing the bio-available Strotium & Molybdenum. Why MICROBE-LIFT/Reef & Marine Supplements? Sea salt mixes can contain 70 or more of natural saltwater's essential and trace components. These help sustain water quality for the fish, corals, invertebrates and/or macro-algae as nature intended. In an aquarium "closed system", protein skimmers, ozonizers, carbon filters and dynamic bio-chemical processes can reduce the important components, including calcium, strontium, molybdenum, iodide, bromide, iron, vitamins, amino acids and essential trace minerals.

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.
- 1 gal. (MLBFBG4) Treats up to 1,000 gals. for 32 treatments.

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.

A Full-function, Buffered, Water Conditioner For Aquariums
MICROBE-LIFT/XTreme is a full-function water conditioner in a single product. It has been formulated to condition new water (instantly "ages"). It should be used when setting up a new pond or aquarium, making water changes, when adding new fishes, invertebrates, amphibians or plants. Instantly "Ages" Water- Detoxifies Nitrite
- Removes Ammonia
- Destroys and removes chloramines
- Removes Chlorine
- Detoxifies heavy metals
- Adds a multi-part skin-slime replacer
- Adds essential electrolytes
- Boosts alkalinity
Recommendations
Perform regular water changes to keep the alkalinity (acid-neutralizing capacity) and pH stable. Use MICROBE-LIFT/XTreme, at the standard dosage rate, to eliminate and control each measured 1 mg/L, or fraction thereof, of total ammonia (= 0.85 mg/L total ammonia-nitrogen). Use a salicylate (indolphenol) type total ammonia test kit. For dissolved oxygen testing use either a DO meter or an indigo carmine test.Contraindications
- Do not use with permanganate-based or chlorite-based treatments.
- Nessler's total ammonia tests will give false, high (or off scale) readings.
- Winkler dissolved oxygen tests will give false, low (or zero) readings.
