Nitrifying Bacteria

Contains: Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira and Nitrobactor

Specially Formulated for Rapid Ammonia and Nitrite Reduction

Decreases Ammonia & Nitrite Toxicity

Treats up to 7,680 gal. (27,072 L.)

MICROBE-LIFT/Nite-Out II is designed specifically for aquarium waters that contain marine life. Its highly-specialized microbial consortium of nitrifying cultures are specially formulated to eliminate ammonia via a natural biological process termed nitrification. The cultures contain in MICROBE-LIFT/Nite-Out II will establish, promote or stabilize and maintain nitrification in aquarium waters, eliminating the toxic effect of ammonia. MICROBE-LIFT/Nite-Out II liquid nitrifying bacteria contains select strains of Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira and Nitrobacter. Nitrosomonas oxidize ammonia to nitrite and Nitrobacter and Nitrospira oxidize 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 divisions rates from 8 to 16 hours. Their performance and rate growth is impacted by the environmental parameters required for nitrification.

Cautions

• Keep out of reach of children.
• Wash hands after use.
• If eye irritation occurs, flush with water for 15 minutes.
• Do not take internally.

NOTE: Shelf life is 18 months. DON’T FREEZE. Store at room temperature. Avoid sunlight. Refrigerate 38°F (4°C) – 45°F (7°C) after opening to prolong shelf life.
