MicrobeLift - Aqua Xtreme

MicrobeLift - Aqua Xtreme

Microbe-Lift®/AQUA XTREME is a convenient liquid, single-phase, full-function water conditioner that has been scientifically formulated for use in koi and goldfish ponds. Microbe-Lift®/AQUA XTREME should be used when: conditioning new water for ponds; adding (or prior to adding) water, new fish or plants to ponds; and transporting koi and goldfish. It is very important to use Microbe-Lift®/AQUA XTREME when adding water to a pond that contains chloramines. Conventional dechlorinators will detoxify the chlorine in the chloramines but do nothing to the ammonia released from the chloramines. Microbe-Lift®/AQUA XTREME will detoxify both the chlorine and the ammonia in chloramines.

  • Detoxifies Nitrite
  • Removes & Detoxifies Chlorine & Ammonia
  • Destroys Chloramines
  • Detoxifies Copper & Heavy Metals
  • Boosts Alkalinity
  • Adds Essential Electrolytes
  • Adds A 3-Part Slime Coat Replacer
  • Helps to Reduce Stress
  • Instantly Ages Pond Water
Directions for use:
Shake well before using. Add 1 teaspoon (5ml) of Microbe-Lift®/AQUA XTREME per 10 gallons of water: to fully condition water in new aquariums or ponds; before, after and during water additions; or before adding new fish, amphibians, invertebrates or plants. For larger applications, add 1 fl. oz. per 60 gallons of water.

Perform regular water changes to keep alkalinity (acid-neutralizing capacity) and pH stable. Use Microbe-Lift®/AQUA XTREME as needed to eliminate and control ammonia at the regular dosage rate for each 1mg/L, or fraction thereof, of measured total ammonia for each 0.85 mg/L of measured total ammonia-nitrogen. Use a salicylate (indolphenol) type total ammonia test kit. Microbe-Lift®/CHLORINE-CHLORAMINE TEST STRIPS and Microbe-Lift®/AQUA XTREME may be used at the regular dosage to neutralize or destroy permanganate treatments.

MicrobeLift - Stress Relief

MicrobeLift - Stress Relief

MICROBE-LIFT/Stress Relief is not a medication and should not be used as a substitute for any recommended medication. Aloe Vera has been proven to regenerate raw tissue, blood spots and help to replace damaged slime coats. When fish are transported and placed into new environments, stress is generally exhibited. Also, use MICROBE-LIFT/Stress Relief any time fish are sick to accelerate the healing process. Heavy metals in the pond water may be lethal to your fish. MICROBE-LIFT/Stress Relief helps to detoxify the free ions in zinc, copper and iron.

Dechlorinator & Stress Reliever with Aloe Vera
  • Detoxifies free ions of heavy metals
  • Helps to reduce stress, heal wounds and bruises
  • Helps to restore protective slime coat
  • Will not affect the ion balance of pH
  • Provides additional vitamins and immune supplements
  • Heals missing scales
  • Minimizes infections

Pond Care pH Down

Pond Care pH DownSlowly lower the pH of pond water (making it more acidic) without harming delicate pond fish or aquatic plants. Slowly neutralizes alkaline substances that cause high pH (pH of pond water is affected by mineral leaching, soil runoff & decomposing waste). A high pH limits the ability of aquatic plants to absorb necessary nutrients. Contains no algae-promoting phosphates.

Pond Care pH Down will decrease the pH in garden ponds by neutralizing excess alkalinity (carbonate hardness). This product can be used daily to adjust pH until conditions stabilize. pH Down contains no algae-promoting phosphates. It is important to accurately measure the level of pH in a pond before initiating adjustments. Use a Pond Care pH Test Kit to measure your pH weekly.

pH should be either raised or lowered by no more than 0.5 units every 24 hours. Do not treat pond water more than once every 24 hours. Plants and algae cause a temporary increase in pH in the afternoon. Therefore, pH should be tested in the early morning to obtain the most accurate reading.


Directions for use:
1. Test the pH of the pond water with a Pond Care Liquid Wide Range pH Test Kit.
2. Add 1 teaspoonful (5 ml/ 5 cc) of pH Down for every 50 U.S. gallons (189 L) of pond water.
3. Wait 24 hours, then test pH. Repeat treatment as necessary.

16oz (480 ml) bottle. Treats 4,800 U.S. gallons (18,168 L)

Pond Care pH Up

Pond Care pH UpSlowly raises the pH of pond water (making it more alkaline) without harming delicate pond fish or aquatic plants. Slowly neutralizes acid substances that cause low pH (pH of pond water is affected by mineral leaching, soil runoff & decomposing waste). A low pH can stress pond fish & suppress the activity of the biological filter. Contains no algae-promoting phosphates.

Pond Care pH Up will increase the pH in garden ponds by neutralizing excess acid. This product can be used daily to adjust pH until conditions stabilize. pH Up contains no algae-promoting phosphates. It is important to accurately measure the level of pH in a pond before initiating adjustments. Use a Pond Care pH Test Kit to measure your pH weekly.

pH should be either raised or lowered by no more than 0.5 units every 24 hours. Do not treat pond water more than once every 24 hours. Plants and algae cause a temporary increase in pH in the afternoon. Therefore, pH should be tested in the early morning to obtain the most accurate reading.


Directions for use:
Carefully mix desired dose with 2 U.S. gallons of pond water in a plastic bucket and distribute evenly around the perimeter of the pond.

1. Test the pH of the pond water with a Pond Care Liquid Wide Range pH Test Kit.
2. Add 2 teaspoonfuls for every 50 U.S. gallons (189 L) of pond water
3. Wait 24 hours, then test pH. Repeat treatment as necessary.

Pond Prep by Kordon

Pond Prep by KordonKORDON'S Pond·Prep is a dry powder that should be added when setting up a new pond or when restarting a completely cleaned pond. Pond·Prep sets up the pond completely, making it ready for proper nitrification to begin and preparing the water for the fishes. For the initial start up, no additional chemicals are needed, Pond·Prep will remove all chlorine, chloramines, ammonia from new water and it helps detoxifies copper and other related heavy metals often found in tap water. Pond·Prep will add needed electrolytes and skin slime replenishers to prevent or minimize stress on the newly added fishes.
  • Stabilizes alkalinity
  • Replaces lost skin slime
  • Aids in the establishment of biological filtration
  • Reduces shock and stress
  • Removes ammonia, chloramines & chlorine
  • Adds essential minerals

Pond·Prep reduces the toxicity of nitrite and provides trace elements needed to establish and maintain biological filtration. Pond·Prep supplies the electrolytes and minerals needed by fishes in new pond water. It adds buffering components to help boost and maintain the necessary acid-neutralizing capacity (alkalinity) of the water.

When used as directed, a single dose of Pond·Prep will remove 1 mg/l of ammonia, up to12.6 mg/l of chloramines, and 3.75 mg/l of total chlorine. Pond·Prep will detoxify up to 1.0 mg/l copper and reduce or eliminate the toxicity of other heavy metals. Pond·Prep's polymers help minimize stress and infection.

Pond·Prep does not interfere with fishes' breathing nor does it reduce dissolved oxygen levels. Pond·Prep does not contain any live bacteria or bacterial spores; it does not contain any phosphates, copper, formaldehyde, plant sap, drugs nor dyes. Pond·Prep will interfere with the proper readings of Nessler-type ammonia test kits; for ammonia testing use a salicylate-type test kit such as Kordon's AquaTru® Ammonia (Salicylate) Test Kit.

For subsequent water changes and water additions use Pond NovAqua® and Pond AmQuel®. Use Pond NovAqua when introducing new fishes to your pond. If fishes suffer extensive bruises or damaged skin and scales after handling, use Kordon's Pond PolyAqua® as a healing aid.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: To properly condition water in either a new pond or a freshly cleaned pond, add the appropriate amount to about 1 gallon of water. Stir to form a slurry and distribute the slurry throughout the pond. Rinse the container to ensure all of the Pond·Prep powder is added to the pond water. For smaller volumes of water (e.g. indoor ponds) add Pond·Prep at the rate of 1 level teaspoonful for each 20 gallons of pond water.
