There is no bottled bacteria that will deal with the accumulated matter in the pond. Microbelift is a good product, but nothing will replace a clean pond. With rocks in the bottom, there is a large amount of decaying material in your pond that really should not be there. A rock bottom pond needs at least one good, complete annual cleanout, preferably in the fall so the fish can head into spring in a clean pond. A good clean-out means removing all the fish and water and waterblasting the rocks until there is no crud left. Even that is not as good as a rock-free pond, but it s far better than what most people do.

Thank you, Jess and Khalid for your comforting words. I went to the PA (physician assistant) on Jan 20. He checked my ears and found the right ear badly blocked, same with the left ear. When the cold virus attacks the body, it inflames the Eustachian tube. Some info. from Mayo clinic: "With plugged ears, your eustachian tubes — which run between the middle of your ears and the back of your nose — become obstructed. You may experience a feeling of fullness or pressure in your ears. You may also have ear pain, dizziness and muffled hearing. As swelling from the cold subsides, the obstruction usually resolves." My experience is very much like what the below doc. went through: http://www.healthxchange.com.sg/healthyliving/SpecialFocus/Pages/a-common-cold-can-cause-vertigo.aspx " Dr Young, 33, started an otherwise ordinary day with a mild sore throat and a runny nose – like he was coming down with a cold. However, by the third evening, he started to feel light-headed and awoke the following morning with severe vertigo. He felt as if the room was spinning around him. “For the first two days after the vertigo set in, I couldn’t eat, drink, turn my head or even move my eyes from side to side without vomiting or feeling the room spin around me,” he said. It turns out that Dr Young had labyrinthitis, a condition where the labyrinth (the inner ear) is inflamed and not functioning normally. Dr Young, an infectious disease specialist from Britain who works at a local hospital, self-medicated with vestibular suppressants and anti-emetics. These are prescription drugs to suppress dizziness and nausea. “But they had little effect." he said. “The acute vertigo usually lasts from a few days to two weeks. As it resolves, the patient experiences slight imbalance or unsteadiness while walking. This rehabilitation phase may last for one or two months. The hearing function may or may not fully recover. The recovery period is fastest during the first month but the patient may still recover up to six months after the onset of the disease,” said Dr Tan. Labyrinthitis is often spontaneous and idiopathic but can occur after a cold, flu or upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). “These infections don’t usually affect the inner ear. More often, in URTIs, the middle ear is affected when bacteria and nasal secretions pass through the eustachian tubes to the middle ear causing fluid accumulation. A bad middle ear infection can lead to the spread of infection to the brain, or in rare cases, labyrinthitis as well,” said Dr Tan. **** From Straw, the P.A. who examined my ears recommended an MRI of the brain (magnetic resonance imaging scan) to show the inflammation. The cost? $1,000. I said, "NO way, I'm going to rinse my ears with hydrogen peroxide". I went home, fill a glass-dropper with hydrogen peroxide, rinsed my left ear. That cleared out completely. The right ear which bled, I had to rinse it 3 times with hydroxide peroxide ... and my vertigo went away !! I was able to stretch my head backward in all directions. Hydrogen peroxide kills all three: bacteria, fungi, and virus.

I never heard of Heisenberg tea but the article was great and very similar to what I do. I have had excellent results using beneficial bacteria in my setup and I made a brewer to make it easier. The brewer makes 5 gallons at a time. This is the process I use to make the tea. Brewing worm casting tea in the vortex brewer · Fill the brew chamber with tap water until the level is about 1 inch below the 3 return elbows used to circulate. Don’t forget to shut off the drain tap before adding the water. (Don’t ask me how I know this.) · Turn on the air valves to push air into the air stones and circulate the liquid. In a minute or so you should have a nice vortex of circulation. This is what does the work, circulates and aerates. · Fill a dry beaker to the 300 ml mark with dry worm castings and pour it into a sock. This will act as a tea bag for the leaching. Tie the end of the sock to the loop in the cover so the sock will extend down into the chamber about 12 inches. Don’t put the sock in the water yet. · Add 100 ml of Blackstrap molasses. · Add 60 ml of Earth Kelp · Add 25 ml of Earth Tonic · Top off the water level up to half-way up the level of the elbows in the brew chamber. · Put the lid with the sock full of worm castings on top and leave it circulating. · The brewing takes at least 24 hours if it is 70 degrees in the room. I prefer to run it for 36 to 48 hours before adding the last ingredient. (Below) · Remove the lid with the worm casting filled sock. The leached worm castings can be used with potting soil. · Add beneficial Endomycorrhizal fungi powder. ½ a teaspoon per gallon so add 2 ½ teaspoons. Allow this to mix in for 2 hours before use. · When you first start the brew there is little or no foaming but as the bacteria gets working there will be a head of foam spinning in the vortex. · If you bottle the tea, it is best put to use on the soil within 2 hours to assure the survival of the maximum amounts of beneficial bacteria. · You can aerate and circulate the tea for up to 4 days before you risk a crash of the bacterial population.

The vast majority of feedback and information and discussion of this product online seems to be coming from hydroponic marijuana growers, but every review of the product seems to indicate it works well with anything that grows roots. I've applied it to several outdoor and indoor plants by now, including two small (and most likely doomed) juniper bonsais. Some of the plants are in soil, but most are in the gritty mix. I've also got a big mounted staghorn fern that I soaked in it. I guess we'll see what it's all about.
