- MICROBE-LIFT Broad Spectrum Disease Treatment for Ponds and Outdoor Water Gardens, Safe for Live Koi Fish, Goldfish, Plants, and Decor, 32 Fl Oz

Helped with Ill koi fish

I’m not sure what was wrong with my koi but this definitely helped. Treated for 3 days and my koi are back to normal.

Saved my 15 year old comets from flashing, jumping above water, and lethargy. By the second dose they were almost fully recovered. Just make sure you follow directions for dosage amounts, really really pump that aeration, and make sure your water parameters are proper after each water change. Its very blue during the premix, but the blue hue dissipated in my pond within minutes thanks to all the plants and stuff.

This is expensive, but it does work well and lasts a while.

We had a parasite issue that seemed to go away after losing three fish in succession in the old pond. When we put them in a temporary holding tank while remodeling and expanding the pond, all was well... until it wasn’t about a month in. Everyone was flashing and rubbing and off their feed, and two died. Because they had plants in the tank along with a cave, it was hard to catch the signs earlier. So we gave this a go, made easier by the known water quantity in the holding tank vs. the unknown quantity in the original pond that made me too afraid to dose it. BTW a hose meter is counting the gallons as we fill the new pond... a great investment of less than $20. We changed out half the water in the holding tank and watched our fish trying to rid themselves of the problem- It was frustrating to watch them suffer, medication in hand, while adding the new water (big temp difference between the tank and hose water) in small batches to avoid stressing them with much colder water. I did mix the prescribed dose into a bucket of water before adding to their water. In the morning only a couple still looked bothered, and within 24 hrs no deaths and no more flashing. I repeated the treatment, and will do so again one more time to ensure we’re done with parasites before they go to their brand new pond. So, if we had to pick a time to go thru these problems, the timing couldn’t have been better. I intend to treat them with prazi (in all new water) in the new pond to treat for any flukes or intestinal worms they may be carrying to complement the progress made with this product. Thanks for the great product, it is such a relief to see my friends happily swimming about.

I’m on day one and just hours the koi are now swimming again even with ick infestation but seem to be breathing much better.

I would have written a great review for this product, however there is a chain of misfortunate incident where it could have been a disaster from the Logistic Center shipping/handling dept, delivery person and the recipient. The liquid is like ink, it stains everything in its path. This is a gallon of ink ready to spill all over the LC floor, delivery van interior, all over the delivery person, house, carpet... 1. Listen up Eco Labs, the top seal leaks when the solution inside breaches the top. Use a hermetically seal plastic packaging like other reputable manufacturers please. 2. Amazon LC, it is a gallon bottle so you should not place it in a rectangular box side way. The proper box is vertical with a directional label "This way up". I intercept the delivery package, immediately up right. Unfortunately it starts leaking, I was able to prevent full blown spillage all over the house. OK I get over my angst here is by 2 cents. I apply this BSDT to a 30 ton pond with 7 juvenile koi, 3 gold fishes and 1 comet. This is the protocol for each day: 3ppm PP, BSDT, BSDT, BSDT, 2ppm PP, BSDT, BSDT, 2ppm PP. Good news all 11 fishes survive the treatment. On the other hand, just a 20" (50cm) utsuri gets more stress from the 3rd BSDT session and she is still has the irritating parasites evidence in her flashing. I give everyone a rest for 2 weeks because treatment efficacy may take time. I will remember to give update on July 20th 2021.
