## Description

Microbe-Lift Gravel and Substrate cleaner is a natural and microbial based product that works quickly to eliminate sludge and muck from substrate in freshwater and marine tanks. It also clarifies water by removing large particles of waste matter from aquarium bottoms, which in turn reduces the concentration of organic materials available to feed the naturally occurring bacteria that decompose organic matter. Microbe-Lift Gravel and Substrate Cleaner for Home Aquariums and Fish Tanks Safe for Freshwater and Saltwater is formulated with all naturally occurring components. It contains no harsh chemicals, bleach, or caustic compounds. Eliminate suspension problems caused by incomplete waste fragmentation, while using a more eco-friendly product that will not harm your biological filter flora or fauna. This product is intended for use with all ornamental and aquarium fish but may not be used with fish intended for human consumption.
