Review: The Finishing Touch for a Great Pond! - This stuff really works. It doesn't work miracles however. You must be removing solids from your water and have some biological filtration to remove harmful chemicals produced by fish waste. But assuming you have tackled those two areas first adding Microbelift will turn your pond water crystal clear in no time. Moreover, it will improve your biological filters efficiency so it does a better job as well. It does not remove algae per se but it does reduce the conditions that promote algae growth. Many Pondkeepers are obsessed with clear and clean water. And for good reason, clean water promotes healthy fish that you can see in the pond. This product is the finishing touch achieve that goal. Regular use, especially in warm summer months, will allow you to drop a coin in your pond tell if it is tails or heads sitting on the bottom. I have used Microbelift for 5 years and no other additive on the market performs as well in terms of improving water quality and clarity. It is not a miracle solution however. You must take care of basic mechanical and bio filtration. If you have done that this product will multiply your efforts making your pond and fish the best they can be. I only ever add three things to my Koi pond; water, pond salt and Microbelift. My Koi thrive in the clean water and I enjoy being able to admire my fish and the peaceful beauty of my backyard pond. It is not inexpensive and the smell, at least initially is awful. But if you want to keep healthy fish, be able to see them don't waste your money on any other products. Microbelift just works, plain and simple.
Review: Amazingly Effective! - I started using Microbe-Lift this past winter for their cold water and winter enzyme packet and liquid bacteria cultures. They worked so well that I decided to try them out this spring. I usually use Seachem’s pond products, and decided to try Microbe Lift PL to get my filter bacteria population kick-started after giving it a deep clean, instead of Pond Stability. I had also just started my UV for the season and had dead suspended algae everywhere, and was hoping that the enzyme packets would help digest it. I was amazed by the results! Within a day of adding Microbe Lift PL and the spring/summer enzyme packets, my water turned crystal-clear. The water is so sparkly and clean that it looks like my koi are floating in the air! The cycle also started up immediately, and is almost finished. I continue to use Seachem’s Pond Prime to help keep the ammonia and nitrites detoxified while the bacteria population gets established. I’m also feeding lightly, just once per day. I plan to continue using this product. I do agree with other reviewers—be prepared for an extremely foul odor upon opening the jar. It smells very earthy with a hint of sulphur, not unlike manure. However, that’s a great sign—that’s the odor of bacteria metabolism by-products, so you know it’s a live culture.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this have the same purpose as the fall/winter and spring/summer products? When would you use this product, or would you use them both together?**
A: I'm not sure. Our feature is about 250 gallons with 7 good sized fish. I start using the product in the spring, through the summer and into the fall. I stop using it when it gets cool enough to stop feedin the fish. Since we live in the Seattle area the pond does not freeze over in the winter and I don't use any winter produces in the water. Some of our gold fish have been around since 2001.

**Q: What is the difference between this product and Microbe-lift Sludge Away?**
A: Sludge away product is formulated for reducing the amount of organic debris that settles to the bottom of the pond. The PL product is designed to remove ammonia, nitrates, and other toxins from the water that are produced by fish waste and decaying organic debris.

**Q: Do I add to the waterfall reservoir ( bags filled with lava rock) or the pond itself? Thanks**
A: Hello, You may add it to any section of your pond as long as it will be circulated.Thank you,Marvin Gardens Store

**Q: Can this be used in a pool for swimming?**
A: It can be used for a swimming pool as long as chlorine is not used as sanitizer.  There are two concerns in using beneficial bacteria in a swimming pool: 1. Chlorine will kill the beneficial bacteria.  2. And swimming pools traditionally use a type of filter that works best with chemicals (chlorine).
