Warning:
Do not use MICROBE-LIFT/Defend with any other medications or treatments.
This product is intended for use with all ornamental pond fish. Not for use with fish or aquatic invertebrates intended for human consumption. This is not an economic poison and is not intended for use as such.
Purpose: To treat and prevent diseases of fish caused by fungus infections (typically whitish, cottony patches on fishes’ skin and/or fins), and by other external diseases caused by bacteria (mouth “fungus” and fin-and-tail rot) or protozoans (“ich”).
Directions: Dose at the rate of one fluid ounce per 60 gallons (227 L.). Prior to the initial use of Microbe- Lift/Defend a partial water change of 25% or more should be made. Carbon filtration must be removed during treatment. (CAUTION: Do not stop other filtration.) Dosage may be repeated, following the recommended water change, at least every 24 hours. Microbe-Lift/ Defend is best used in a separate quarantine/ treatment (Q/T) tank. If after 3 treatments, signs of the disease being treated persist, perform a large water change, replace the carbon filtration and consider using an alternative treatment.
Cautions and Contraindications: Do not use with permanganate- based treatments. Observe fishes closely during the course of the treatment and perform massive water changes as needed, if signs of severe stress (e.g. rapid respiration, “piping” at the surface) are noted.
