  Clear-Flo 1008
Created specifically to more rapidly degrade falling leaves, grass clippings, and other plant debris which can cause a buildup of organic sediment if not treated. This formula is the ideal product for use within ten to fourteen days following short-term herbicide application (products such as Sonar®). This safe and effective product is formulated to prevent buildup of hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, and fatty acids, a common occurrence during cold winter months without treatment. Contains 11 gram-positive spore-forming Bacillus, 5 gram-negative vegetative bacteria and 2 cellulose and lignin degrading fungi. Total count of bacteria 4 billion CFU/g and total count of fungi 50 thousand CFU/g.

Clear-Flo 1015
9 gram-positive Bacillus and 6 gram-negative specialized strains, with additional proprietary ingredients, decrease the competitive advantage of Cyanobacteria in lakes and ponds. Use only exact dose prescribed by Alken-Murray. Now includes cyanide-degrading Bacillus megaterium strain AMC 300.Total count is 5 billion CFU/gram (2.27 trillion CFU/lb)

 Liquid

 Clear-Flo 1100*

Ammonia oxidation formula for lakes, ponds, aquaculture. Contains Nitrosomonas europaea and Nitribacter winogradskyl. Ammonia oxidation rate 10 mg NH3-N/liter/hr

Alken-Murray recommends AGAINST buying diluted nitrifiers (CF 1100) in 55 gallon drums because the bacteria sink to the bottom of the drum, making them difficult to distribute properly when needed for application. It is NOT possible to use a peristaltic pump to dispense nitrifiers, since they cannot be suspended without vigorous stirring.  

 Clear-Flo 1100 (50x)FF*

Concentrate

Concentrated ammonia control for aquatic applications. Contains Nitrosomonas europaea and Nitribacter winogradskyl.Ammonia oxidation rate - 500 mg NH3/liter/hr. Use full strength in larger ponds and lakes or dilute 1 + 49 for resale, as regular 7110 or 1100. Manufacturing Concentrate - Must be kept refrigerated. Shipped Next Day Air, with cold packs. CAN survive freezing, so winter shipment is possible. Now approved for sale in Canada

Now approved for sale in Canada

 Nu-Bind (1)*
Unique blend of high molecular weight extract of natural humified peat soil and 22 strains of gram-positive Bacillus microbes eliminates high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and other noxious odors (except mercaptans). Binds some heavy metals in limited applications and acts as a cationic polymer in water treatment. Between them, the bacterial strains ferment most sugars, are more tolerant of acidic conditions than most bacteria and seven of the strains tolerate salt levels of 7% and above. The high molecular weight extract encourages more rapid germination of gram-positive strains. Reduces clumping of filamentous organisms in ponds, lakes and lagoons. Total count 54 million CFU/ml. (204 billion CFU/gal)


  • Most dry products have a 2 year shelf-life, unless noted elsewhere and then lose 1 log of count per year, thereafter.
  • Liquid products containing exclusively spore-forming Bacillus with preservatives, with or without additional ingredients, also have a two year shelf -life.
  • Liquid products containing both Bacillus and gram-negative strains have a 6 month shelf-life, which can be extended by storing at 4 to 8 degrees C. This is why we stopped offering 4104 and mixed-gram 7000 line liquids except CF 7136.
  • Nitrifiers and liquid products containing nitrifiers (1100, 1400, 7110) have a 6 to 9 month shelf-life.
  • Concentrated nitrifiers (1100-50x, 1400-50x and 7110-50x) have a 1 year refrigerated shelf-life.
