Water Treatments » Ammonia & Nitrite

AmmoniaFix™ contains billions of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate removing bacteria. The bacteria inside are designed by nature to utilize these substances as a food source and remove them from pond water. AmmoniaFix™ has been used for decades to seed filters, clear water and reduce harmful ammonia and nitrite levels in a pond environment. The result is safer, cleaner water for fish and plants.

Microbe-Lift Ammonia Remover

Neutralizes Toxic Ammonia, Chloramine & Chlorine

Microbe-Lift Ammonia Remover gives beneficial bacteria time to multiply and recover if the biological filter gets damaged keeping pond fish from being stressed.

• Every ounce removes 1.25 ppm of toxic ammonia in 150 gal. of pond water by forming an irreversible complex to reduce free ammonia to safe levels
• May be used at startup, when making water changes, replacing lost water due to evaporation or when your pond is overstocked with too many fish
• Neutralizes residual chlorine and destroys deadly chloramine
• Treats ammonia burn in pond fish
• Safe for use with all pond fish and aquatic life

For complete water conditioning we recommend the use of Microbe-Lift Aqua Xtreme.

Contraindications
Do not use with permanganate or chlorite-based treatments. Nessler’s total ammonia test kits will give false, high (or off-scale) readings. Winkler dissolved oxygen tests will give false, low or zero readings; use indigo-carmine dissolved oxygen tests or DO meters.

For total ammonia testing use only salicylate-based (indole-phenol) tests.
Microbe-Lift Ammonia Test Strips will function properly. The Microbe-Lift Ammonia Test Strips are salicylate-based and work well with this product.

• 16 oz. bottle treats up to 1,440 gal. (5,450 L.)
• 32 oz. bottle treats up to 2,880 gal. (10,900 L.)
• 1 gallon bottle treats up to 11,520 gal. (43,603 L.)

Microbe-Lift Nite-Out II liquid nitrifying bacteria contains select strains of Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira and Nitrobacter. Nitrosomonas convert ammonia to nitrite and Nitrobacter and Nitrospira convert nitrite to nitrate.

Microbe-Lift Nite-Out II comprises select microorganisms that are autotrophic—able to use carbon dioxide as the sole source of carbon—and are relatively slow growing, requiring specific conditions for optimum growth with typical cell division rates from 8 to 16 hours. Their performance and rate of growth are impacted by the environmental parameters required for nitrification.

They are also highly oxygen-sensitive, requiring high dissolved oxygen levels (greater than
2 mg/L) to achieve maximum growth rates. Nitrite is produced by beneficial bacteria in the pond and the oxidation of harmful waste ammonia excreted by fish. Even though nitrite is not as toxic as ammonia, it is still very damaging to the health of fish.

• Initiates nitrification
• Promotes stable nitrification
• Provides stable cold weather nitrification
• Safe for use around plants and animals
