TheraP - Animal Care Bacteria (251 ml) ARKA (formerly known as Microbe-lift)

TheraP (Salt & Fresh) 251ml - MICROBE-LIFT

Provides a natural aquarium ecosystem for better overall fish health and improved water quality.

Description

Saltwater oceans are a very stable environment with very few pH fluctuations. Ocean waters dilute fish waste and organic matter. The bacteria contained in MICROBE-LIFT / TheraP provide the necessary assistance to break down decomposing organic matter and recycle certain elements, such as carbon and nitrogen, etc., which can accumulate in your tank.

MICROBE-LIFT / TheraP has a hydrogen sulfide odor, which will dissipate quickly.

All MICROBE-LIFT bacterial products can be used together. However, when using multiple MICROBE-LIFT bacterial products, reduce the dosage rate of the second product by 50%. After administering the bacteria, monitor your pH.

Since each bottle of MICROBE-LIFT is individually cultured, color variations may exist from one bottle to another. These color variations are not indicative of variations in product quality. Any floating particles present are suspended biofilm that detaches from the sides of the bottle. The padding or expansion of the container is caused by pressure differences resulting from temperature variations due to the bottle being sealed.

This product is NOT a chemical product. It is harmless to humans, animals, fish, and plants. Since we cannot control the preexisting dynamics of individual aquariums, the above information and instructions are subject to many variables. Many situations can be unique in nature.

* Saltwater environments - The bacteria in this product will remain effective when used in marine environments with a density of 1.017 to 1.025. In new marine tanks, add the aquarium salt mix and let the water circulate for 24 hours, then check and adjust the density. Add the bacteria after the water has circulated for the 24-hour period.

Usage

- Shake well before use

- Continue until all signs of illness are eliminated.

- Add the bacteria directly into your tank or filter.

- NoteSalt water slows down bacterial action. For faster results, add 25% to 50% more product.

- These bacteria are compatible with biological filters and UV lamps. The UV lamps 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 / TheraP works well with activated carbon and is compatible with copper-based products.

- The suggested doses can be adjusted to fit the fish population in your aquarium. Heavy chlorine and chloramines, as well as certain fish medications, may have a detrimental effect on the efficiency of this product.

- Wait 72 hours after adding medication (antibiotics) before adding the bacteria.

- This product is not a medication and should not be used to treat infections or advanced-stage diseases. It should be used primarily as a preventive measure.
