*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 new 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 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/TheraP provides the assistance needed to break down the decaying organic matter and cycle certain elements, e.g. carbon and nitrogen, etc. which may build up in your tank. MICROBE-LIFT/TheraP has a hydrogen sulfide odor, which will dissipate quickly. All MICROBE-LIFT bacterial products may be used together. However when using multiple MICROBE-LIFT bacterial products, reduce the dosage rate of the 2nd product by 50%. After administering the bacteria, monitor your pH. 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 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.

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.

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

MICROBE-LIFT/XTreme has been formulated with buffers to help stabilize the treated water's pH and alkalinity (acid-neutralizing capacity). It removes both ammonia and chlorine by chemically reacting with them. Essential electrolytes not only assist in buffering, but also assist in preventing osmotic shock often caused by new water. MICROBE-LIFT/XTreme detoxifies heavy metals (e.g. copper and lead) by both chelation and precipitation.

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.

Available Sizes

4 fl. oz. (118 mL.) (XTA04) Treats up to 240 gal. (908 L.)
8 fl. oz. (236 mL.) (XTA08) Treats up to 480 gal. (1,817 L.)
16 fl. oz. (473 mL.) (XTA16) Treats up to 960 gal. (3,633 L.)

Non-toxic to humans, pets and aquatic life. This product is intended for use with all ornamental aquarium fish. Not for use with fishes or aquatic invertebrates intended for human consumption. This is not a medication or economic poison and is not intended for use as such.
