Microbe-Lift Niteout II Nitrifying Bacteria 32 oz. (MPN NITE32)

Microbe-Lift Nite Out II is a specialized product designed to reduce ammonia and nitrite levels in pond waters that house marine life. This product contains a unique blend of nitrifying cultures that work by initiating and promoting the natural process of nitrification, which converts ammonia to nitrite and further converts nitrite to nitrate. By establishing and maintaining nitrification in pond waters, Microbe-Lift Nite Out II effectively eliminates the toxic effects of ammonia, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for fish and other aquatic organisms. The select strains of bacteria in Microbe-Lift Nite Out II are autotrophic, meaning they can use carbon dioxide as their sole source of carbon. These bacteria have relatively slow growth rates and require specific environmental conditions, including high levels of dissolved oxygen, to thrive and achieve maximum growth rates. While nitrite is less toxic than ammonia, it can still be harmful to fish. Microbe-Lift Nite Out II effectively reduces nitrite levels, providing stable nitrification and promoting the overall health of fish in the pond. This product is safe for use around plants and animals, making it an ideal choice for maintaining a balanced pond ecosystem. To achieve optimal results, Microbe-Lift Nite Out II should be applied according to the recommended application rates based on the size of the pond. The initial application and subsequent weekly applications for the first four weeks should be tailored to the specific gallon size of the pond. Maintenance applications should be done monthly to ensure the continued stability of nitrification. It is important to note that this product cannot be shipped in freezing temperatures, so proper timing of application should be considered.
