Microbe-Lift PL Gel Bacteria 32 oz. (MPN GEL32)

The PL GEL is a flip-top squeeze bottle that offers convenience and ease of use. It is a groundbreaking product that allows you to place the bacteria exactly where you need it and ensures it stays there. This gel quickly attaches to various filter media, such as foam, strapping, floss, bio-balls, spring flo, and ceramic media, helping to establish the necessary biological activity in your filter and stabilize your pond's environment rapidly. Additionally, it restores the biological activity to your filter when you clean or replace the media. Here are some key features of the PL GEL: it can be easily applied to filter pads/media without causing any mess or running; it contains the same spectrum of bacteria found in Microbe-Lift PL; it incorporates naturally occurring bio polymers that facilitate the attachment of organisms to the media, resulting in an 80% reduction in filter start-up time; it aids in stabilizing the pond environment quickly during start-up and eliminates transient instability that may occur when cleaning or replacing filter media. Furthermore, it allows for more frequent filter cleaning without subsequent instability in ponds with high solids loading, reduces the frequency of cleaning by speeding up the breakdown of organic solids, and helps establish de-nitrification in the filter, thereby lowering nitrate levels in the pond. To apply the Microbe-Lift PL GEL, simply spread it directly onto the filter pad or media and let it set for 1-2 hours before inserting it into the filter or skimmer. After insertion, turn off the pump for 1-2 hours if the water can maintain sufficient oxygenation during this time without circulation. It is recommended to repeat the application each time you clean or replace your pads/media.
