Review on Efficient Aquarium Phosphate Remover: Ecological Labs AEL20217 Microbe Lift, 32oz by Carrie Thompson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cleaned my green water in a few hours!

It's like magic! I was dealing with green water - floating algae that was too fine to get into the filter threads to the point where I couldn't see things about 6" at the surface. Nothing helped. My 150- Gallon aquarium pond is almost completely in the shade, it has a sump filter installed and lots of swimming frogs plus water lily bacteria which should have helped create green water and even tried Nualgi (ammonia, nitrite and nitrate - algae suck it all out of the water) and they also offered a phosphate test bingo! my phosphate was darker than the 10ppm limit of the API test - mostly from our tap water it turned out so the tech suggested I buy this special phosphate microbe lift remover .I dosed it according to the instructions and then the magic began yours.The water I poured the phosphate remover in immediately became cloudy, but after an hour or two it was gone with the pond clear. The algae fell out of suspension and ended up in clumps at the bottom of the pond, which eventually collected in the quilting that I placed in the pump pre-filter. About 5 days later I added a second dose and then my water was crystal clear! And it went on! Also, my fish are happy and healthy, and my sump filter plants grow even better now because they don't have to compete with algae for nutrients. I am completely satisfied with this product. This solved my green water problem when nothing else worked.

Pros
  • Like all before
Cons
  • Working speed
