Maturing A Pond Biologically & Chemically

When a pond's ecosystem is mature and balanced, the water is usually clear and healthy for aquatic life. This maturation process is a function of the microbiological and chemical properties of the water.

NATURAL CHEMICAL MATURATION Microbe-Lift Barley Straw LIQUID & DRY formulations help to mature the pond with natural chemicals just as a pure mountain stream matures through the years by the introduction of natural breakdown products from trees, plants, etc. These natural breakdown products often include humic and fulvic acid and organic acids that have a natural ability to sequester, or tie up, inorganic compounds, so their concentrations in the pond don't get to levels that would unbalance the ponds ecosystem. These substances can also lead to natural purification of the pond through a slow release of hydrogen peroxide as they react with sunlight. The hydrogen peroxide is produced at levels that help purify the water while not having any adverse effects on desirable aquatic life. The sequestering, in conjunction with microbiological cycling, provides a stable natural ecosystem in your pond.

BIOLOGICAL MATURATION The microbiological maturation process involves development of symbiotic populations of bacteria, which stabilize the critical organic and inorganic components of the pond. The microorganisms do this through their ability to promote "biogeochemical cycles" - including carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous cycles - elements critical to all forms of aquatic life. By stabilizing these components, the bacteria prevent pollution of the pond. It can take some time to accomplish this "biological maturation" in a man-made pond and may never occur as the maturation process is constantly interrupted by certain pond practices like cleaning out the pond. The process can be accelerated significantly through the use of Microbe-Lift PL - a virtual "ecosystem in a bottle" - and mimics the complex interdependent populations in a mature pond.

• Up to 14 days activity depending on application site

Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals

Will help maintain a healthy pond environment and reduce the threat of parasitic disease in pond water.

Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals added to your pond water can be effective in helping to maintain a healthy fish environment and, in proper dosages, has proven to be helpful in reducing the threat of parasitic infestations in the pond.

Microbe-Lift Pond Salt Crystals will temporarily block the toxic effects of nitrite , and by initiating the production of a thicker slime coat on the fish's body surface, helps to promote a stronger immune system and reduce stress.

Caution - Do not overdose. When adding salt to ponds that contain aquatic plants, be especially careful in monitoring salt concentration as salt can be a toxic effect on certain plants. Before adding salt to your pond, remove any zeolite products being used.

Directions - Salt will not evaporate from your pond. After testing your pond water with a hydrometer, you can add salt with your regular water changes. We recommend mixing salt and pond water in a bucket, and then spreading the slurry around the perimeter of your pond. Be careful to avoid direct contact with pond plants.

DOSAGE:

Small Ponds: ½ (120g) per 10 gal. (38L) of pond water.
Large Ponds: 5 cups (1.13 kg) per 100 gal. (378L) of pond water.

For Stress Reduction - Use Microbe-Lift Therapeutic Salt For Quarantine Tanks containing added electrolytes and Allantoin, which accelerates wound and fin healing.

Microbe-Lift Therapeutic Salt For Quarantine Tanks

A Novel Blend Containing Pure Evaporated Sea Salt, Essential Electrolytes and Allantoin for Fish Health

• Reduces fish stress & the risk of osmotic shock
• Temporarily blocks nitrite toxicity
• Helps to promote slime coat
• Improves fish gill function

Microbe-Lift Therapeutic Salt For Quarantine Tanks reduces the amount of energy a fish must expend to maintain osmotic balance. In fresh water fish, this energy can be substantial. If your fish is suffering as a result of a nitrite spike (a.k.a. Brown Blood Disease), Microbe-Lift Therapeutic Salt acts to slow the rate of nitrite uptake - possibly the difference between survival and death. With electrolytes, minerals and Allantoin, which accelerates wound and fin healing, Microbe-Lift Therapeutic Salt For Quarantine Tanks provides the necessary elements pond fish require to reduce stress and develop a healthy slime coat.

Caution - Be especially careful when adding any salt to tanks that contain aquatic plants as salt can have a toxic effect. Before adding salt to your tank, remove any zeolite products. Fish tend to emit excessive amounts of ammonia when salted, so be sure to test your water for ammonia spikes with Microbe-Lift Ammonia Test Strips. Do not overdose.

Dosage - Small Tank: ½ cup (120g) per 10 gal. (38L) of water.
Large Tank: 5 cups(1.13kg) per 100 gal. (378L) of pond water.

For Stress Reduction - 2 tbs. (30g) per 10 gal. · 1 ½ cups (360 g) per 100 gal.

Directions - Combine Microbe-Lift Therapeutic Salt For Quarantine Tanks and pond water in a bucket and then spread the slurry around the perimeter of your tank. Salt-resistant parasites require up to 21-days exposure at 75°F. For stress reduction, use as needed. When changing water, use a salt test kit and add salt to return to 0.3% (1/2 cup per 10 gal. level). Salt will not evaporate from tank and must be removed through water changes.

As A Topical Statement: Mix salt with tank water until a thick paste consistency. Use a basting brush to apply directly to excessive slime areas, reddened spots or potential problem areas on head, back or underbelly. Be careful not to get salt into eyes or gills.

For Salt Dip: Mix 5 cups of salt into 10 gals. of water. Add fish, one at a time. Watch until fish gasps and begins to turn over. Then scoop fish out with a sock net and immediately place fish into fresh clean water. Estimated duration: 3-5 minutes. Fish should be monitored continuously while in the salt dip and removed immediately at the first sign of stress.
