Microbe-Lift Gel Filter Cartridge Inoculant

Microbe-lift GFCI

Gel Filter Pad Inoculant.

Gel filter cartridge inoculant

 

Easy-to-use Flip-top squeeze bottle:
 

  • Contains 2.5 million colony forming units per ML. of gel.

  • Immediately establishes biological activity.

  • Quickly stabilises aquarium environments.

  • Use when inserting a new cartridge in your aquarium filtering system.

MICROBE-LIFT gel filtration cartridge inoculant is a technological breakthrough because it is the first product that lets you put the bacteria right where you want it and it stays there.
 


MICROBE-LIFT gel filter cartridge inoculant will quickly attach to and populate all brands of filter cartridges and all styles of media including foam, floss, bio-balls, ceramic media, etc.
This will help rapidly establish the necessary biological activity in your filter to stabilise your aquarium’s environment quickly. It will also help to restore the activity to your filter when you clean or change the media and when you replace your filter cartridge.
 


 
  • Easily applies to filter cartridge pads or media without running or getting messy.

  • Contains naturally occurring bio-polymers that help the organisms quickly attach to media allowing for 80% reduction in filter start up time.

  • Helps to stabilise aquarium environment quickly upon start up and eliminates transient instability that can occur when filter media is cleaned or replaced. You should replace your filter cartridge after every 6 inoculations.

  • Allows for more frequent cleaning of filters without subsequent instability if an aquarium has had a high solids loading where frequency of cleaning is beneficial.

  • Reduces the frequency of cleaning by accelerating the breakdown of organic solids that can lead to high maintenance requirements.

  • Helps establish de-nitrification in the filter; which can lower nitrate levels in the aquarium.

Directions:

 

Inoculate (spread) MICROBE-LIFT gel filter cartridge inoculate directly to your filter cartridge, pads or media. The gel will absorb into the filter cartridge, pads or media by letting it set for 1 to 2 hours before inserting back into filter. Inoculate (spread) the gel into each corner of the filter cartridge. If your filter cartridge pad is rectangular, add 2 more drops in the middle of the cartridge. After insertion, turn off recirculation pump for 1 to 2 hours, providing water can maintain adequate oxygenation without circulation for this amount of time.
 


Repeat application of MICROBE-LIFT gel filter cartridge inoculant each time you clean or replace your filter cartridge, pads or media, when nitrate levels exceed - 0.6 Mg/L or as necessary to maintain optimum performance from your filter or skimmer

Microbe-Lift Nite-Out II

Nite-Out II : Nitrifying Bacteria : Specially Formulated for Rapid Ammonia & Nitrite Reduction

Decreases Ammonia and Nitrite Toxicity
 

Contains : Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira & Nitrobacter

Nite-Out II is designed specifically for aquarium waters that contain marine life. Its highly-specialised microbial consortium of nitrifying cultures are specially formulated to eliminate ammonia via a natural biological process termed nitrification.

The cultures contained in Nite-Out II will establish, promote or stabilise, and maintain nitrification in aquarium waters, eliminating the toxic effect of ammonia

This product is equally suitable for freshwater use.

Since saltwater slows down bacterial action, faster results may be obtained by increasing the dose rate by 25-50%

Microbe-Lift Special Blend

MICROBE-LIFT Special Blend.

A complete eco-system in a bottle.

Features and other benefits:

  • Dramatically reduces need for water changes.

  • Reduces the frequency of cleaning.

  • Good for salt and freshwater.

  • Chemical free.

  • A new tank starter for biological cycling and boosting.

  • An organic waste degrader.

  • Naturally stimulates plant growth.

  • Lowers ammonia levels and biologically reduces nitrates.

  • Removes odours and clears cloudy water.

  • Biological maintainer for established tanks.

  • Enhances ability of plants to utilize light, water and nutrients.

  • Breaks down residue on gravel, plants, rocks, etc.

  • Breaks down protein foam.

These bacteria are compatible with biological filters and UV lights. The UV light should be turned off for 48 to 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 neutralise chlorine, chloramines or heavy metals.

MICROBE-LIFT Special Blend works well with activated carbon and is compatible with copper based products.

 

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 highly stable environment with very little fluctuation in pH. The ocean water 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 which may build up in your tank.

118ml will treat a 30 gallon tank for up to 16 weeks.
473ml will treat a 65 gallon tank for up to 62 weeks.

Suitable for both salt and freshwater.
