	Keep out of reach of children
	This item ships from British Columbia

Neutralizes toxic ammonia, chloramine and chlorine.

Microbe-Lift Ammonia Remover gives beneficial bacteria time to multiply and recover if the biological filter gets damaged, keeping pond fish from being stressed.

Product Features

	Every ounce removes 1.25 ppm of toxic ammonia in 150 gallons of pond water by forming an irreversible complex to reduce free ammonia to safe levels
	May be used at start-up, when making water changes, replacing lost water due to evaporation or when your pond is overstocked with fish
	Neutralizes residual chlorine and destroys deadly chloramine
	Treats ammonia burn in pond fish
	Safe for use with all pond fish and aquatic life

Application Rates

Test pond water for ppm of ammonia in your pond. For each 1.25 ppm of ammonia to be reduced, add one ounce per 150 gallons of pond water. Treat for total ammonia level at one time. If needed, the dosage may be repeated safely. If toxic levels of ammonia persist, a partial water change is recommended. Overfeeding may be the cause.

Pond skimmer (Nursery Pro CleanSweep 1000) is doing a great job. Am now using the OASE 660 for fountain and future 2nd pond flowing into main pond. The Barley pellets have almost cleared up the String algae problem also.
Delivery was ordered Monday and arrived Friday..excellent. Everything is great ... thanks again,

Microbe-Lift Barley Straw Pellets + is an environmentally responsible and cost-effective pond conditioner. It is a natural and organic way to a healthy pond environment. Barley straw and selected natural peats have been processed and packaged to make them easy to apply with no mess.
Microbe-Lift Barley Straw Pellets + are manufactured using an exclusive proprietary process that eliminates the use of wheat, corn or other binders. The barley straw is harvested and stored under climatic conditions that assure quality of essential ingredients. The process also makes these pellets weed-free. Application of these pellets under water prevents the formation of black mold.
Microbe-Lift Barley Straw Pellets + is rich in humic acids which are very beneficial to the aquatic environment. Humic acid softens pond water, reduces the negative effect of phosphate and generally improves the environment for your fish. The humic acid will also chelate other metals, such as mercury or arsenic. In addition, oxygen and sunlight activate humic acids to produce hydrogen peroxide naturally and at a low level of release.
Microbe-Lift Barley Straw Pellets + is completely harmless to fish and higher pond plants. The natural, biological activity of fungus and bacteria break down barley straw to produce humic acids. Therefore, it can be used over a long period of time. The peat has already been broken down in ponds thousands of years ago. The peat becomes part of the substrate of your pond. Depending on level and length of use, the peat will buffer the pH and control some alkalinity. Some of the clearest pond waters stand over peat bottoms.
Supplied in a resealable zipper bag. Each bag includes a graduated, dry-measure cup with both oz. and ml measures.

Bio-Blue Enzymes & Pond Colourant

Important

	Keep out of reach of children
	This item ships from British Columbia

Whenever the appearance of your pond water is not acceptable due either to cloudiness or unattractive colour, use Bio-Blue. The tint will also help filter out the sun's UV rays.

Enzymes quickly break down suspended organic matter that can make water cloudy, and the biodegradeable dye tints the colour of the water for a dramatic appearance. It accomplishes two tasks with one application.

Bio-Blue can be used to temporarily enhance the pond aesthetics since the biodegradeable dye will break down in 6-8 weeks. It can also be used regularily to maintain clarity and the desired level of colour.

Product Features

	Will not stain birds, fish, pond rocks or most concrete foundations once diluted
	Safe for humans, plants and aquatic life
	Mixes completely in hours
