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.

Caution
Keep out of reach of children.
Do not use internally.
If contact is made with open wounds, wash with soap and water.
Gives beneficial bacteria time to multiply and recover if the biological filter gets damaged, keeping pond fish from being stressed.
Every ounce removes 1.25 ppm of toxic ammonia per 150 gallons of pond water by forming an irreversible complex to reduce free ammonia to safe levels
May be used at startup, when making water changes, replacing lost water due to evaporation or when your pond is overstocked with too many fish
Neutralizes residual chlorine and destroys deadly chloramine
Treats ammonia burn in pond fish
Safe for use with all pond fish and aquatic life

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).
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.
