4.5 Stars -- Definitely made a big difference in pond health and clarity
We built our koi pond many years ago and over that time our koi have grown beautiful and huge -- over two feet in length. Since we use mechanical as well as a couple of biological filtration systems, we felt comfortable that the health of our pond was excellent. Since water readings were always good and fish and plants were thriving, I became lazy about testing the pond water regularly. Then we stepped out on our deck a couple of weeks ago to find our largest koi, Sid (yep, we name them), floating belly-up by the skimmer intake. After a fishy funeral, I hurried to test the water. All readings were okay with the exception of extremely high phosphates. The culprit turned out to be one of the biological filtration systems which was inefficient and malfunctioning. The organic waste was settling into an area of the unit and was degrading much too slowly (basically rotting) which raised phosphate levels and released gases that are toxic to fish. The fish had been less interested in food recently but I'd attributed it to the high heat. We began a fairly drastic water change-out which still left the phosphate levels way too high. I checked with our local pond supply store and they recommended Sludge Away. After disconnecting the faulty bio-filter, I added the product in the amount recommended for our pond size (I added it in the skimmer box near the recirculating pump). The pond water went from clear to chocolate-milk-brown quickly. The brown color only lasted a couple of days and then the water went amazingly crystal clear...MUCH clearer that it has ever been. The Sludge Away worked to quickly break down and remove sludge and muck that had accumulated in the bottom of our pond and throughout the rocks and pebbles that line the edges and bottom. This alone helped by getting rid of the slowly-decomposing gunk that was producing the high phosphate level -- but the product also contains a phosphate-binder that renders the existing phosphates inactive. The extra bonus was incredible water clarity. The bottle labeling recommends a treatment every week for four weeks. This will require 3-4 bottles for our pond. For very large ponds, Sludge Away is available in 1-gallon and 5-gallon sizes. Although we'll miss poor old Sid, we're relieved that our remaining fish are happy and healthy once again. I'm back to hauling my test tubes down to the pond every few days to check the various water readings so that we don't get surprised again. Whether or not Sludge Away works to clarify ALL ponds, I can't say. Perhaps some ponds are too small and other ponds may be so huge that it's impossible to gauge the water capacity of the pond in order to add the appropriate amount of product. Also, I think that the Sludge Away requires sufficient water movement and aeration to do its job. For our particular medium-sized pond with waterfall and other aeration, it worked like a charm. WARNING: If your pond is stocked with fish, make sure that it is sufficiently oxygenated before using Sludge Away. As it works, the Oxygen Uptake Rate in your pond will increase in the process, along with your fish's need for oxygen. Insufficient aeration while using Sludge Away will leave your fish gasping for air at the surface. Waterfalls, fountains, and other types of aerators all help to maintain oxygen levels in the water. Also, depending on when the Sludge Away is bottled, it has a nasty, rotten-eggs smell when you open it. I had sent an email to the Microbe-Lift folks because one bottle that I opened smelled bad and another bottle had practically no odor. Since I'm familiar with most of the Microbe-Lift products being smelly, I was afraid that the odorless bottle was ineffective. Instead, it turned out that the date on the bottle was very current (just bottled) so the product hadn't had time to build up a stink.

Combo of products
I can't go all the way toec 5 stars yet because I've only done 2 applications, but so far it appears to be working well. We have 2 little prefab ponds that get a lot of buildup when it's hot and this spring has been hot. I had given up on the fountains I had for them because I could never run them for more than an hour or two before they'd be almost completely cut off. This year my goal was to keep them going throughout the summer. So far they have run very well with filters only needed cleaning twice and that was in the very first week. It is noteworthy that I also purchased filter bags for each one and they keep the big stuff out which certainly has been a major factor. At any rate, these combined with the microbe lift have kept our ponds clear and purring.

This is an interim report on "Microbe Lift" with a final summary to come after completing the full recommended treatment. I purchased a home that has a pond of roughly 700 gallons, with a 5' vertical stone waterfall. There are water plants, lilies, etc., submerged in pots, and (now) very healthy and multiplying fish. At the outset the pond was a mess, the filter and hoses needed replacement and the water was filthy. After a few months the situation improved, the original few fish began growing and the two main remaining issues were a new and ever-growing "farm" of string algae on the stone waterfall and minimally two inches of thick, old, putrid muck all over the pond bottom. The first application of Microbe Lift, which colored the water like tea, cleared the water beautifully within days. That was good. Also, the string algae and lichen on the waterfall browned, turned to mush and brushed right off. The muck on the bottom, at least thus far, has not really vanished and I've been carefully using my wet-dry vac once a week to help speed the process. I'm about half way through the Microbe Lift treatment; I like the product, but so far I'm not seeing significant dissipation of the muck on the bottom, or maybe there was so much original sludge that it's hard to accurately measure progress. After I'm done with the treatment in two weeks I'll update this review. Sincerely hope this helps, but based on water clarity and algae dissipation, I'm happy for now.

Removes sludge on bottom of my pond
I liked that it did not stay cloudy and removed the sludge over 4 weeks. My koi were not affected or harmed.

Really Works
My little pond came out of winter with lots of sludge on the bottom and on the plants. One dose of this product and the water is clear and the bottom is clean. I love the products from Microbe Lift. Been using them for years. Very good, reliable products. Worth the investment.

Sludge removal
Did what it was suppose to do-clear up the sludge.

Works as described and better
Had a fair amount of scum build up in pondless waterfall. After a few weeks of use as directed much of the build up was gone. Did not change the water nor add any other cleaner. I expect using Microbe Lift in a routine manner will keep the sludge at bay.

AMAZING PRODUCT
I adopted 7 koi and needed my pond cleared for them quickly. It had been 2 years since cleaned and this stuff is AMAZING. Its so clear you can see every snail and leaf as it hits bottom. I was shocked at how well it cleared it up so quickly. Will continue to use these products. My fish are THRILLED. Happy and Healthy Koi are a joy!

H M Customs Import VAT.
This is not an inexpensive product as it is but be aware I have just had to pay an additional fee to H M Customs of £10.65 for US import VAT plus a £8.00 handling fee to get the 32 once product delivered therefore adding almost £19.00 to the Amazon headline cost I thought I was paying.

REALLY WORKS BUT EXPENSIVE WITH IMPORT DUTY FROM THE USA
This really works but I ended up paying £11 import duty before I could get it delivered.

Does not work!
I used it as directed. Waited on the result, my rocks are as black as ever full sludge. False advertising showing before and after pictures. Did not do a dent on the rocks. Seems like they fill up the bottle with black water and send to you.
