Is anyone using these products that claim to break down organic matter on
pond bottoms and help keep the water quality up? Did you find they worked
or was it all hype?

Microbe Lift is just aerobic bacteria, the stuff you try to keep going
in the pond and in the filter. If you clean your filter, you may need
to add some starter aerobic bacteria. I always add Microbe Lift aerobic
bacteria to my pond in the spring to give my pond a quick start at
getting back in balance after the winter.
