FULL-FUNCTION WATER CONDITIONER: Formulated to condition and instantly “age” new water to prepare for marine life; Safe to use when setting up a new pond or aquarium, making water changes, or when adding new fish, invertebrates, amphibians, or plants
CLEANER WATER: Xtreme solution detoxifies nitrite, removes ammonia and chlorine, and destroys and removes chloramines; these properties create a cleaner environment for marine life, plants, and coral in your aquarium and fish tank
IMPROVES WATER STABILITY: By adding a multi-part skin-slime replacer, essential electrolytes, and boosting alkalinity, Xtreme creates an environment that boosts the health of your fish
PREVENTS OSMOTIC SHOCK: XTreme detoxifies heavy metals such as copper and lead by both chelation and precipitation; this process prevents exposure to osmotic shock that is often caused when new water is added
RECOMMENDATIONS: Perform regular water changes to keep the alkalinity and pH stable; Use XTreme at the standard dosage rate to eliminate and control each measured 1 mg/L, or fraction thereof, of total ammonia

Works great!
This is my favorite water conditioner for my fresh water aquarium, but itâs hard to find in the pet stores.

Microbe lift, gets the job done
Microbe lift, as a terrific product. We switched to all of their products, this is high quality water conditioner. You can tell just buy the way it pours into the measuring cup. Itâs not like all of the runny watery, looking conditioners out there.

Very pleased with water clarity and fish healthâ¦
Iâm skeptical with certain products for home aquariums but my 40 gallon, 10 year established freshwater tank is heavily stocked and well planted with various mature plants. It is a thriving tank but also looking a bit jaded. My old conditioner has been discontinued and I was dreading the trials with a new product as some of my were also getting up in age. I researched fairly extensively and felt this one might be the one. I started, and still, only dose ½ the recommended amount to ease the new product to the tank with the next water exchange and no one seemed stressed, except me. The tank is looking great after using this: plants, invertebrates and fish all are thriving and the water is clear. I’m very pleased to recommend this. Iâm still using a ½ dose with the water exchanges as I replace â volume of eater.

Best water conditioner Iâve used in 10 years
Iâve had a freshwater aquarium for over 10 years now. Tried about every water conditioner on Amazon. This stuff is hands down the best Iâve tried yet. Plants look better, fish are more active, snails and shrimp are thriving. My search for a water conditioner is now complete.

Works as well as well known brandâ¦
Ordered this for maintenance on my 60 gallon tank. I have used it for a water change, adding water due to evaporation, and for maintenance.It is good stuff, and works similar to other products.The good: it comes with a VERY handy measuring âshot glassâ with both ml and oz measurements. So useful! I use this handy measure for all of my tank products!The other stuff – after a couple of weeks, it does what it claims – it is a water conditioner, stabilizes water, and detoxifies water from both fish and human contaminants. There had been no change to aquatic health after switching from another product.The bad: most products like this also have biotics to help in the tank. This lacks biotics.The ugly: not a good value. A similar product, which I have also used, that works just as well, as a comparison:Tetra Aquasafe Plus Water Conditioner 16.9oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DJDKLGP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_EMVAQ6MFS0RGNY8KN75CThis brand is $16.04 for 16oz, while the comparison is $9.99 for 16oz. This brand is not a good value in comparison, even with the very nice measuring tool. Unless this product drops the price to be competitive with other similar products, I probably will not be re-ordering. If it was $10 or less, I would probably migrate to this brand, as the fish and tank seem to like both equally! Equal performance, then I go lower priceâ¦.

Magic in a bottle!
I have set up many tanks, and tried many different ‘cycling’ products, and will forever be loyal to this one now! I simply dose daily for about a week, and watch as it quickly goes through the cycles. It doesn’t skip the cycle all together, but it does speed up the process. I watch as the ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates raise and then lower. All of my tanks are happy and healthy months and months later! I’ve recommended this product to everyone I know.. I am in no way affiliated with the brand and I didn’t receive anything to write this review. I’m just loyal customer that has had proven results from this product. I’ve even set up 2 identical tanks, dosing one while not dosing the other, and the dosed tank was ready about 5 weeks before the other one.

Been using it for years
I’ve used microbe-lift products for years with no problem. I’ve used it on established tank during water changes mostly but I’ve also used it when starting a new tank. Never had any issues

We don’t own fish, however this was recommended for our praýer plant that detests chlorine and all the other detritus put in our water. It has recovered and is thriving on a few drops diluted in a watering can. In fact all of our houseplants seem very grateful! Who knew!!!
