Aquascape Beneficial Bacteria contains 8 pure strains of concentrated beneficial bacteria, including PSB bacteria and enzymes. This combination of natural cleaners helps to maintain a strong biological balance in your pond. Water gardens are enclosed ecosystems, which sometimes factors like fish load, uneaten fish food, organics such as leaves, sludge and unwanted debris may disrupt the balance. Aquascape Beneficial Bacteria maintains a strong biological balance; providing clean, clear and healthy water conditions. PSB (Photo Synthetic Bacteria) help quickly clear pond water by clumping fine debris and allowing it to settle.

Aquascape Beneficial Bacteria Dosage
Add to the area of the pond with the most circulation or directly into the skimmer opening. Water temperature must be at least 50°F
One pump treats up to 100 gallons of water.
Treat 2 times per week for the first 2 weeks
After initial treatment, use a maintenance dose of 1 pump per 100 gallons weekly for the remainder of the season

Establishes Biological Ecosystem

Starting your pond off right in the spring is one of the most important things you can do for your pond. Aquascape Pond Starter Bacteria quickly establishes the biological ecosystem for spring start-up and for new ponds. Safe for fish, plants and animals.

How Much: The convenient pump bottle makes for quick, easy and accurate dosing. One pump treats 100 gallons of water.
How Often: During spring start-up or for new ponds, treat weekly for two weeks.
How To: Add to the area in the pond with the most circulation. We recommend heavily aerating the pond for at least 24 hours after application.
To Calculate Pond Size in US gallons: Length (in feet) x Width (in feet) x Average Depth (in feet) x 7.48.

Convenient, Easy-to-Use, Flip-Top Squeeze Bottle!

PL GEL is a technological breakthrough because it's the first product that puts the bacteria right where you want it and it stays there! PL/GEL will quickly attach to and populate any filter media including foam, strapping, floss, bio-balls, spring flo, ceramic media, etc. This will help to rapidly establish the necessary biological activity in your filter to stabilize your pond's environment quickly. It will also help restore this activity to your filter when you clean or change the media in your filter.

  • Easily applies to the filter pads/media without running or getting messy.
  • Contains the same spectrum of bacteria found in Microbe-Lift PL.
  • Contains naturally occurring bio polymers, helping organisms quickly attach to the media allowing for an 80% reduction in filter start-up time.
  • Helps to stabilize pond environment quickly upon start up and to eliminate transient instability that can occur when filter media is cleaned or replaced.
  • Allows for more frequent cleaning of filters without subsequent instability if a pond has a high solids loading where frequent cleaning is beneficial.
  • Reduces the frequency of cleaning by accelerating the breakdown of organic solids that can lead to high maintenance requirements.
  • Helps to establish de-nitrification in the filter which can lower nitrate levels in the pond.
  • 2 years unopened shelf-life, 1 year opened
Microbe-Lift PL GEL Application Rates
Spread GEL directly on filter pad or media and allow it to set for 1 - 2 hours before insertion into the filter or skimmer.
After insertion, turn pump off for 1 - 2 hours, providing water can maintain adequate oxygenation without circulation for this amount of time.
Repeat application each time you clean or replace your pads/media

Specially Formulated For Rapid Ammonia & Nitrite Reduction

Microbe-Lift Nite Out II is designed specifically for pond waters that contain marine life. Its highly-specialized microbial consortium of nitrifying cultures are specially formulated to eliminate ammonia via a natural biological process termed nitrification. The cultures contained in Microbe-Lift Nite Out II will establish, promote or stabilize and maintain nitrification in pond waters, eliminating the toxic effect of ammonia.

Microbe-Lift Nite Out II liquid nitrifying bacteria contains select strains of Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira and Nitrobacter. Nitrosomonas convert ammonia to nitrite and Nitrobacter and Nitrospira convert nitrite to nitrate.

Microbe-Lift Nite Out II comprises select microorganisms that are autotrophic-able to use carbon dioxide as the sole source of carbon-and are relatively slow growing, requiring specific conditions for optimum growth with typical cell division rates from 8 to 16 hours. Their performance and rate of growth are impacted by the environmental parameters required for nitrification.

They are also highly oxygen-sensitive, requiring high dissolved oxygen levels (greater than 2 mg/L) to achieve maximum growth rates. Nitrite is produced by beneficial bacteria in the pond and the oxidation of harmful waste ammonia excreted by fish. Even though nitrite is not as toxic as ammonia, it is still very damaging to the health of fish.

  • Initiates nitrification
  • Promotes stable nitrification
  • Provides stable cold weather nitrification
  • Safe for use around plants and animals

  • Works in very cold water (as low as 35°F)
  • Removes deadly ionized ammonia and toxic un-ionized ammonia
  • Removes toxic nitrites and nitrates
  • Reduces and digests bottom sludge all winter
  • Helps maintain a healthy immune system
  • Will not deplete the oxygen level in your water
  • Reduces spring clean-up
  • 100% natural, NO CHEMICALS, safe for pets and wildlife
Question 1: How does Arctic Blend’s beneficial bacteria remove ammonia from frigid winter pond water when it’s a known fact that “nitrifying bacteria” which keeps ammonia and nitrites at zero does not perform in cold water?
Answer 1: Arctic Blend is not a “nitrifying bacteria”. Arctic Blend’s beneficial bacteria is formulated with billions of natural unique microbes that absorb the ammonia from your winter fish pond water. Then these microbes process the ammonia through their system, rendering the ammonia harmless to your fish. You never have the common “nitrifying bacteria nitrogen cycle” which is, high ammonia then high nitrites and at last, less toxic nitrates when using Arctic Blend. 

Question 2: Why should I worry about the ammonia in the winter months, my fish are not eating so they do not produce waste. No waste, no ammonia?
Answer 2: Your fish produce more ammonia by breathing than they do from their waste. So they are producing deadly ammonia all winter.

Microbe-Lift Pond Bacterial Balancer contains naturally occurring, non-toxic microorganisms. It is safe for the environment, humans, lakes, rivers, pets and all filter systems.

Microbe-Lift Pond Bacterial Balancer is a spore-based blend of Bacillus species. These aerobic heterotraphs (organic degraders) provide the ability to quickly establish populations necessary for breaking down organic waste from fish, waterfowl, plants and other aquatic life in your pond and aid in quickly establishing a functional population in your pond's filter.

As a result, Microbe-Lift Pond Bacterial Balancer helps to keep water clean and control build-up of sludge or bottom solids. It also helps to establish denitrification- the biological conversion of nitrate to nitrogen gas- which bubbles harmlessly out of your pond, reducing the availability of soluble nitrogen which can stimulate unwanted growth in your pond.
