Microbe-Lift Sludge Away 1 Gal. (MPN MLXSAG4)

Microbe-Lift Sludge Away is a product specifically designed to remove organic bottom solids in ponds that are slow to degrade. This is particularly useful in ponds with a rock or gravel bottom where vacuuming is not possible. The accumulation of organic solids on the pond bottom can lead to the release of toxic gases, which can be harmful to fish, marine life, and plants. By using Microbe-Lift Sludge Away, these potential harmful gaseous compounds are reduced and eliminated, while also helping to clarify the pond water. It is important to note that when Microbe-Lift Sludge Away is added to the pond, it may temporarily darken the water. This discoloration is harmless to plants, fish, or other inhabitants, as well as humans and animals. The color change is a result of the bacteria necessary for biodegrading the difficult buildup of debris and sludge. Before the sludge can be biodegraded, the bacteria must solubilize it, and this solubilization process is what causes the water to become discolored. The time it takes for the water to return to its normal color will depend on the amount of buildup that needs to be solubilized. Microbe-Lift Sludge Away is an organic and microbial-based product that is safe for fish, plants, pets, and the environment. It provides a rapid and natural removal of sludge and muck from the pond. To determine the appropriate amount of product to use, the table labeled "Microbe-Lift Sludge Away Rates" provides guidelines based on the size of the pond. The first application requires a specific amount of product per 100 gallons of water, and then maintenance applications are recommended once per week for a period of four weeks, using a lower amount per 100 gallons of water.
