Microbe-Lift Sludge Away 5 gal. (MPN MLXSA5G)

Microbe-Lift Sludge Away is specially formulated to remove slow-degrading organic bottom solids in ponds, especially those with a rock or gravel bottom or where vacuuming is not feasible. These organic solids can accumulate on the pond bottom and release toxic gases as they break down, which can be harmful to fish, marine life, and plants. By using Microbe-Lift Sludge Away, potential harmful gaseous compounds are reduced and eliminated, resulting in clearer pond water. When Microbe-Lift Sludge Away is added to the pond, it may temporarily darken the water. This discoloration is harmless to plants, fish, and other inhabitants, as well as humans and animals. The darkening of the water is caused by the bacteria necessary for biodegrading the stubborn buildup of debris and sludge. The bacteria must first solubilize the sludge before it can be broken down, and this solubilization process is what causes the water to become discolored. The duration of the discoloration 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 offers a rapid and natural solution for removing sludge and muck from ponds. To determine the appropriate dosage, refer to the Microbe-Lift Sludge Away Rates table, which provides recommended amounts for different pond sizes and applications.
