Microbe-Lift Nite Out II
Microbe-Lift Nite Out II is designed specially for all ponds that contain aquatic life. Nite Out II is a highly specialized microbial consortium of nitrifying bacterial cultures that is specifically formulated to eliminate ammonia via a natural process known as nitrification.
The cultures contained in Microbe-Lift Nite Out II will establish, promote or stabilize and maintain nitrification in you pond water, eliminating the toxic effect of ammonia. Microbe-Lift Nite Out II liquid nitrifying bacteria contains select strains of Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira and Nitrobacter.
In short, Nitrosomonas convert ammonia to nitrite and Nitrobacter and Nitrospira convert nitrite to nitrate.
Product Features of Microbe-Lift Nite Out II
- Initiates the nitrification process super fast!
- Promotes stable nitrification
- Provides stable cold weather nitrification
- Safe for use around plants and animals
Notes on Nitrification:
When ammonia removal is desired first start with Microbe-Lift Clean & Clear to reduce the orgnic waste in the pond as high levels of BOD can inhibit the nitrification process by competeing with the nitrifying microorganisms for the necessary oxygen. After applying Microbe-Lift Clean & Clear wait for approximately 24 to 48 hours for the Clear & Clean to do it's job, and then apply Microve-Lift Nite Out II.
Prior to the addition of the Nite Out II (to start the nitrification process), check to make sure that the pond's pH is in the correct range for the nitrification process. Adjust the pond pH to a range of 7.5 to 8.7, and check to see if adequate alkalinity is present as you must maintain a level of a least 50/ppm of alkalinity at all times. This is necessary as the nitrifying microorganisms use 7.1lbs of alkalinity for each pound of ammonia removed (oxidized).
If the correct level of alkalinity is not present, nitrification will not occur, and if alkalinity is lost then the nitrification process will cease and the pond pH will drop due to teh nitrifying cultures activity. To increase the alkalinity add the Kusuri Biobalance until you achieve an alkalinity level of 50/ppm t0 100/ppm (minimum), and then maintain the alkalinity at a level of 50/ppm.
