Product Details
NEW IMPROVED FORMULA!
Product Description:
- MICROBE-LIFT/AMMONIA REMOVER gives beneficial bacteria time to multiply and recover if the biological filter gets damaged keeping pond fish from being stressed.
- Buffered to help prevent a drop in both alkalinity (acid-neutralizing capacity) and pH when used to remove very high levels of total ammonia.
- 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 and Non-toxic to Humans, Plants, Birds and Aquatic Life
Direction for use:
To remove and detoxify ammonia, chlorine and chloramines for water in ponds, add 1 teaspoonful of MICROBE-LIFT/Ammonia Remover per 15 gallons (57 L.) or 1 fl. oz. per 90 gallons of water.
To remove ammonia in existing ponds add 1 teaspoonful/15 gallons of MICROBE-LIFT/Ammonia Remover for each 1.0 mg/L., or fraction thereof, of measured total ammonia (=0.85 mg/L. total ammonia-nitrogen). To control ammonia when shipping fish or invertebrates use MICROBE-LIFT/Ammonia Remover at the standard dosage rate or increase (up to 10 times) if total ammonia levels are expected to be higher than 1.0 mg/L. It is recommended for routine shipping of fishes and invertebrates that trial static shipping tests be performed to determine the typical levels of total ammonia that will occur in untreated water.
Contradictions:
Do not use with permanganate or chlorite-based treatments. Nessler's total ammonia test kits will give false, high (or off-scale) readings. Winkler dissolved oxygen tests will give false, low or zero readings; use indigo-carmine dissolved oxygen tests or DO meters. For total ammonia testing use only salicylate-based (indole-phenol) tests.
MICROBE-LIFT/Ammonia Test Strips will function properly. The MICROBE-LIFT/ Ammonia Test Strips are salicylate-based and work well with this product.
Non-toxic to humans, pets and aquatic life.
