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.
