This allows for support of the necessary amount of biomass, in the form of a biofilm, to properly remove organic and inorganic waste from the water, making it suitable for fish and other normal aquatic life. Within the biofilm it is possible to carry out aerobic, facultative anaerobic, anaerobic and chemosynthetic processes if all the necessary bacterial species are present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style='box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0 0 20px; font-family: \"Open Sans\", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1)'\u003eConsequently, for these filters to function, it is necessary to have proper numbers and distribution of species.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder\"\u003eMICROBE-LIFT\/Super Start\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003econtains aerobic heterotrophs, facultative anaerobes, anaerobic and chemotrophic bacteria capable of carrying out all of the necessary processes for optimum performance of bead filters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style='box-sizing: border-box; font-family: \"Open Sans\", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 1)'\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: border-box\"\u003eRapid establishment of organic removal capabilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: border-box\"\u003eRapid establishment of nitrogen cycling including nitrification and denitrification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: border-box\"\u003eReduces buildup of residue in the filter, decreasing maintenance and improving filter efficiency by avoiding “channeling”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: border-box\"\u003eRapid recovery of filter after use of medications and antibiotics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: border-box\"\u003eBreakdown of residual medications, like tea tree oils and formalin products, which are inhibitory to most bacteria, after use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: border-box\"\u003eEffective over a wide pH range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: border-box\"\u003eSignificantly reduces noxious odors caused by algae, fish, waste and urine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: border-box\"\u003eReduces hydrogen sulfide, which creates strong, offensive odors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"ECOLOGICAL LABORATORIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44227134586903,"sku":"WTR-MLMLBFBQ","price":49.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6112\/1303\/files\/BC_Upload_4e12c8f8-8360-4709-9e52-96a66178f80d.jpg?v=1771690764","url":"https:\/\/redwooddistribution.ca\/products\/1-qt-microbe-lift-bead-filter-bacteria","provider":"Redwood Distribution Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
