Before Treatment
Six weeks after treatment
When added to your water resource, they reduce nutrients and organic muck which ultimately improves the water quality and minimizes algae and rooted plant growth. This happens as a direct result of bacteria digesting the excess phosphorus and nitrogen in the water column. Which is the primary cause of excessive aquatic plant growth. These microbes also effectively reduce sludge buildup from pond and lake bottoms by accelerating the decomposition process of organic nutrients that contribute to the offensive hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg) odors and murky water. When added to your water resource, these microbes will multiply exponentially and then die off due to nutrient consumption. What does this mean? When you participate in the bioaugmentation program you add an initial dose of bacteria and then subsequent doses every two weeks thereafter throughout the season to maintain a high population of bacteria so rapid consumption of nutrients can occur.
Usage of bacteria occurs from April though October when the water temperature is>50°F.
Listed below are several reasons why MICROCAT microbes should be used:
•Consists of aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria.
•Reduces inorganic water column nutrients.
•Reduces sludge layer on pond/lake bottom.
•Improves ammonia oxidation.
•Reduces hydrogen sulfide and methane gas odors.
•Provides long term remediation of water quality.
•Compatible and safe with plants, animals and humans.
•Has a long shelf life.
•Available in 1 lb. water soluble packets (WSP).
•Nominal microbe count = >3x10/gram.
•Blend contains 6-8 strains.
We, at MBA, can assist you with the correct dosage for your water resource.
Material costs: $28.00/lb.
NOTE:
A frequent question often asked, "How many different strains does your blend contain?"
After numerous discussions with manufacturers of microbes, we would like to stress that the number of strains (there are only approx. 6-8 strains used in aquatics) are important but what truly matters is the nominal microbe count per gram. The higher the nominal microbe count the better the performance.
Ask MBA how these microbes can aid your water resource and what dosage is correct for your specific application. Watch for the fall sale on MBA's microbes for the upcoming year. It is a great way to guarantee your microbes for 2005 and save money, too.
