The media could not be loaded. As an avid fishpond lover, I could not pass up the chance order this fish protector/water conditioner from Microbe-Lift. About 25 years ago, I built a 600-gallon fishpond which I enjoy to this day. The pond is filled with Koi, Shubunkin, large Goldfish, snails, frogs, and various aquatic plants. Having had this pond for over two decades, I have literally dealt with every issue and/or crisis that a fishpond owner might face. If you also own a fishpond, then you probably know that trying to keep everything alive and thriving can be a frustrating labor or love. I think the worst experience Ive ever had with my pond is when I put in some commercial chemicals to treat a condition that was threating the fish. These chemicals were advertised and guaranteed to not hurt the fish. Needless to say, the day after I added the chemicals, half of my fish had died. This is why I am EXTREMELY hesitant about what goes into my pond. I happen to live in the northern part of the United States so, as you can imagine, all of my fish are currently in hibernation under the ice. Therefore, as I also mention in the attached video, I cant actually put this product in my pond until the water temperature stays above 50 degrees which will probably be sometime in April. I will update this review after I have actually put this product into my pond in the spring. In the meantime, as promised in the video, I spent hours researching both this product and the company that manufactures it. I, and Im sure you will too, need to be absolutely positive that this Microbe-Lift product will not harm my fish or plants in any way before risking their lives. Here is a brief summary of my research into the company and the company behind the company. Based on all of the independent user reviews I could find, products from Microbe-Lift are considered to be the safest, most beneficial on the market today. Microbe-Lift products are manufactured by a Florida based company called Ecological Laboratories, Inc. This company is world-renowned for the quality of its naturally cultured products. All of their products contain different blends of aerobic bacteria, photosynthetic bacteria (activated by light), anaerobic bacteria, and chemosynthetic organisms. Ecological laboratories, Inc. is the only company that has been able to culture these products, in house, and, for the most part, in the actual containers in which they are sold. Ecological Laboratories can achieve this feat because the organisms only grow synergistically, representing a virtual ecosystem in a bottle. These cultures coexist and flourish and that is why they naturally work together when placed in your pond. This is also why the products have an incredible shelf life of up to 5 years. Due to the fact that all of their products are created from cultures of naturally occurring forms of micro-organisms they are all completely safe to use with all pond fish and plants, cannot be overdosed, and, if required, can be used together. Most importantly, these products are not only among the very best of their types on the market, but they are an incredible value when compared with competing products from other companies. This, along with the fact that their products have such a long shelf life, puts the Microbe-Lift products lightyears ahead of other products on the market. Based on everything I found, I feel confident that this product will only help my fish as they transition from winter to spring. As an added bonus, Microbe-Lift includes a nice measuring cap as you can see in the pictures attached to this review. Finally, keep in mind that I will be updating this review in a few months so stay tuned!
