Microbe-Lift Gravel and Substrate cleaner is a natural and microbial based product that works quickly to eliminate sludge and muck from substrate in freshwater and marine tanks. It also clarifies water by removing large particles of waste matter from aquarium bottoms, which in turn reduces the concentration of organic materials available to feed the naturally occurring bacteria that decompose organic matter. Microbe-Lift Gravel and Substrate Cleaner for Home Aquariums and Fish Tanks Safe for Freshwater and Saltwater is formulated with all naturally occurring components. It contains no harsh chemicals, bleach, or caustic compounds. Eliminate suspension problems caused by incomplete waste fragmentation, while using a more eco-friendly product that will not harm your biological filter flora or fauna. This product is intended for use with all ornamental and aquarium fish but may not be used with fish intended for human consumption.

I have a 65 gal, 2 - 45 gals, a 20 gal, and my cats 3 gallon Betta tank, all freshwater. I must do most things right as I have 2 - 21 year old Amored Catfish (Bonnie & Clyde), and my Coy Angel fish on average are up to 9 yrs old. I began having a few different issues and the brand I've used for years stopped working. Out of the blue, I decided to a new brand, reading the information for the Microbe-Lift, I decided to try this brand. ALL 3 work great! I'm so impressed and I have much more time to enjoy my fish because the weekly maintenance doses keep all of my tanks crystal clear. I'm very happy to recommend the Microbe-Lift brand to EVERYONE that has any size and type of aquarium. I can always tell when all of my fish are happy because the Catfish, who are basically nocturnal, swim all over the tank during the day. I will continue to use Microbe-Lift as long as I have a running aquarium. Do yourself a big favor and get this brand!😃

It’s dark colored so your water will turn brownish when you put this in the tank, but it clears quickly. After using this for a while I can say that my water has never been so clear and my artificial plants have never been so clean. Extremely pleased and I only use the lower recommended dose on the bottle every two weeks.

So I saw some of the reviews some good some bad I figured I give it a shot and see if it would work or just a scam well I will say it worked put this in my tank and it turned brown and cloudy more then it was when I first started but that to be expected just simply fallow the instructions on the back I had to add a little more then recommend just make sure you change out the filter it will help clear the water faster I definitely recommend this to anyone I'm glade I bought this

It took about 6 days but this stuff really works. I wish I took a before picture because the results were remarkable. Not just the substrate but it also cleaned all the decorations

Hallo, an alle auch leidtragenden Aquarianer, ich kann dieses Produkt zu 100 % weiterempfehlen.Ich habe es 2 mal, im Abstand wie angegeben, abzüglich 10% von der angegebenen Dosierung in mein Meerwasserbecken kurz bevor das Licht ausgeschalten hat, in das Filterbecken gegeben.Wie schon öfter in den Rezensionen beschrieben wird das Wasser sehr braun und Trübe.Bei mir haben sich die Gorgonien zusammengezogen.Das Wasser klärte sich bis zum nächsten Morgen wieder vollständig auf normal.Meine Gorgonien machten einen Tag später wieder vollständig auf.Im Eisweissabschäumer war beim ersten mal am nächsten Morgen eine völlig schwarze Brühe dirn.Zum Thema Sand, er wird nicht ganz weiss, aber denke so ca. 60 % heller !Mich hat das Produkt überzeugt !!!

Preis günstig. Ideal für Pflanzenaquarien die dicht bepflanzt sind. Substrate Cleaner sollte mit Microbe-Lift Phosphat Remover verwendet werden da dar Phosphatwert ansteigt

I had purchased this recently as previously I was using W.O.W. from Petsolutions and that product has been dis-continued. I wish I knew about this before. Microbe-lift gravel cleaner works great. As other reviewers have stated, when you first put this in your tank, it looks like ink and will turn your water very dark. This lasted for 4 days the first time I used it and then it cleared up quicker the second time and only lasts for 3 days. What a change though. This cleaned my substrate and it is very clear now and the water looks crystal clear. I have a 46 gallon tank but I do have great filtration with two Rena Canister XP filters. I would say the better your filtration, the faster the water will clear but this stuff does work. If you have a dirty tank or substrate, I would highly recommend Microbe-lift Gravel Cleaner. If you have that problem, just have some patience and this will work. A must buy for Aquarium maintenance.
