MICROBE-LIFT Gravel and Substrate Cleaner for Home Aquariums, 16-Ounce

Bit annoyed it arrived with broken measuring cup

I thought it would work better

Works well

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.

I replaced all my decorations and filter in my 75 gallon fresh water tank after 5+ years but kept the gravel. After a few days algae started to bloom. Cleaned it all out but within a day it kept going. Bought this and a week later my tank is clear and gravel looks almost new. Fish look happy and healthy. Highly recommended.
