Safely Buffers pH Levels & Prevents Wide pH Swings Microbe-Lift® 7.5 pH Buffer/Stabilizer includes 2 pH buffers for gentle effectiveness and 3 electrolytes to help maintain osmotic balance. Microbe-Lift® 7.5 pH Buffer/Stabilizer provides necessary alkalinity for nitrification. Microbe-Lift® 7.5 pH Buffer/Stabilizer is specially formulated to control fish toxicity which may arise from overdosing. Microbe-Lift® 7.5 pH Buffer/Stabilizer is not harmful to fish or plants
APPLICATION: To LOWER the pH and hold it at 7.5 Â add 1 level scoop (included) per 100 gallons of pond water. To RAISE the pH and hold it at 7.5 Â first adjust the pH with Microbe-Lift® pH Increase. Next add one level scoop per 100 gallons of pond water. DO NOT mix this product with any other chemicals before adding to pond because reactions may occur.
Safely LOWERS pH Levels Microbe-Lift® pH Decrease is formulated in deionized water Microbe-Lift® pH Decrease includes 2 pH decreasers for gentle effectiveness and 3 electrolytes to help maintain osmotic balance Microbe-Lift® pH Decrease contains a slime coat ingredient for skin protection and stress reduction in pond fish Microbe-Lift® pH Decrease has a chelating agent to enhance water quality Microbe-Lift® pH Decrease is not harmful to fish or plants
APPLICATION: Test pond water the same time each day (dawn=lowest pH; dusk=highest pH) for a pH reading ABOVE 8.5. Most ponds target at 7.5 pH with an alkalinity level between 100-200 ppm (normal range). Add one ounce per 375 gallons of pond water for every 0.1 pH unit decrease desired. Apply Microbe-Lift® pH Decrease in several steps and measure reduced pH before next addition. If your pond contains fish and/or plants, do not dramatically lower your pH levels more than 0.5 pH unit in a 24 hr. period, as not to shock aquatic life and/or fish.
Safely RAISES pH Levels Microbe-Lift® pH Increase is formulated in deionized water Microbe-Lift® pH Increase includes 2 pH increasers for gentle effectiveness and 3 electrolytes to help maintain osmotic balance Microbe-Lift® pH Increase contains a slime coat ingredient for skin protection and stress reduction in pond fish Microbe-Lift® pH Increase has a chelating agent to enhance water quality Microbe-Lift® pH Increase is not harmful to fish or plants.
APPLICATION: Test pond water the same time each day (dawn=lowest pH; dusk=highest pH) for a pH reading BELOW 6.5. Most ponds target at 7.5 pH with an alkalinity level between 100-200 ppm (normal range). Add one ounce of Microbe-Lift® pH Increase per 375 gallons of pond water for every 0.1 pH unit increase desired. Apply Microbe-Lift® pH Increase in several steps and measure increased pH before next addition. If your pond contains fish and/or plants, do not dramatically raise your pH levels more than 0.5 pH unit in a 24 hr.
