Description

These bacteria are compatible with biological filters and UV lights. The UV lights should be turned off for 48-72 hours after the introduction of this product. This will allow the bacteria to progress through their most active growth stage.

Since each bottle of ARKA is grown individually, color variations may exist from bottle to bottle. These variations in color are not indicative of variations in product quality. Any floating particles present are suspended biofilm which slough off the sides of the bottle. Dimpling or expansion of the container is caused by pressure differences resulting from temperature variations due to the fact that the bottle is sealed.

This product is NOT a chemical. It is harmless to humans, animals, fish and plants. Since we cannot control the pre-existing dynamics of individual aquaria, the above information and instructions are subject to many variables. Many situations may be unique in nature.

Hi, the dosage means: on day 1, 25 ml per 100 liters, then add nothing until day 8, and after that add 15 ml per 100 liters weekly, right? Regards

With Microbe-Lift Special Blend, 25 ml per 100 liters is added on day 1. After that, 15 ml is added again on day 8. This is repeated on days 15, 22 and 29. After that, 7.5 ml should be added every 14 days.

Hello, I have the problem that there's no nitrate in my aquarium, which is bad for my plants. I'm now trying to solve the problem with Aquarebell gh boost. Should I therefore do without Microbe lift special blend?

The nitrate-reducing effect with simultaneous fertilization is negligible. The product is well suited for establishing and maintaining the bacterial balance in the aquarium. The benefits of using it clearly outweigh any slight reduction in nitrate levels that may occur.

How long does the product keep after the bottle has been opened?

You can tell fairly easily by the smell. If a bottle has the familiar sulfur-like smell or no smell at all, it is usable. If a bottle develops a smell reminiscent of burnt rubber, it should no longer be used.

Gefühlt erstklassig!

Seit ich Special Blend von ARKA einsetze, bleiben die Wasserwerte stabil. Da ich nicht permanent messe, bleibt es gefühlt gut, bemessen am Wohlergehen der Fische und der Klarheit des Wassers.

Well suited for weekly or biweekly maintenance to permanently strengthen the bacterial balance, for example after a water change.

Tolles Produkt

Zur (zwei)wöchentlichen Pflege gut geeignet, um den Bakterienhaushalt dauerhaft zu stärken, wie beispielsweise nach dem Wasserwechsel. Sehr sinnvoll und empfehlenswert ist das Produkt aber in der Einfahrphase und nach einer Dunkelkur, um den Biofilm aufzubauen.
