Shake Well Before Using
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.
Shelf Life
Unopened - 2 years
Opened - 1 year
The bacteria in this bottle must remain in this original bottle or it may lose
its effectiveness if transferred to another container.
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. We ask you to e-mail us your questions at:
info@microbelift.com.
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.

Add the bacteria directly to your tank or filter.
Note: Saltwater slows down bacterial action. For faster results add 25%-50% more
product.
Stocking levels/Surface areas/Oxygen
The size of your aquarium, as well as water temperatures, affects the oxygen
content. The oxygen content and surface area of the tank will determine the
proper number of fish for your tank. Higher oxygen levels support more stocking
capacity. Before introducing any other life form, your tank should be adequately
aerated to provide the oxygen needed by your fish and the aerobic bacteria
contained in MICROBE-LIFT/Special Blend.
Wait 72 hours after adding medications (antibiotics) before adding the bacteria.
All MICROBE-LIFT bacterial products may be used together. However when using
multiple MICROBE-LIFT products, reduce the dosage rate of the 2nd product by
50%.
After administrating the bacteria, monitor your pH.
