Is Ipe safe for water turtles?

Answer by ChewyApr 19, 2020
This solution is safe to use on aquatic turtles. The bacteria water balancer is natural, non-pathogenic and will reduce the organic waste that turtles release.

Does this product disinfect for pseudomonas?

Answer by ChewySep 17, 2019
This solution helps reduce or completely remove pathogenic bacteria from tank.

Will this help with high ammonia levels ?

Answer by ChewySep 17, 2019
The manufacturers of this product recommend using a water conditioner to remove chlorine, ammonia and chloramines that may be present in the water prior to using this balancer.

Do you use this when you do a water change, or can you put it in the tank with the turtles?

Answer by ChewyFeb 14, 2023
For start up turtle tanks, first use MICROBE-LIFT/Extreme Water Conditioner to remove chlorine, ammonia and chloramines that may be present in the water. For new tanks, add 1 teaspoon (5mL) of MICROBE-LIFT/Bacterial Water Balancer for every 10 gallons (38 L) of tank water once a week for three weeks. Then follow established turtle tanks direction. For established turtle tanks, add 1 teaspoon (5 mL) of MICROBE-LIFT/Bacterial Water Balancer per 10 gallons (38 L) of tank water bi-weekly and after any water changes. You should also add the MICROBE-LIFT/Bacterial Water Balancer after cleaning filters, changing filters or 48 hours after adding medications.

Top 1000 Contibutor

Great product

Great product but my problem is with the fact that the top is not sealed well and spills in shipping and leaks and spills out all over the carton and other items

Great product but my problem is with the fact that the top is not sealed well and spills in shipping and leaks and spills out all over the carton and other items. It usually is not wrapped tightly despite customer service asking that their warehouse do this and it rolls around and I find that the white capped bottles' aluminum seals do not stay put as well as the red capped ones. I often have to call customer service to resend and many times the same issue happens. If the re-sends leak again I will not purchase anymore sadly as it is a great product. This seems to be a manufacturer's problem.
