GlasGarten Bacter AE 70 g

Product Information

SL Aqua Magic Powder: I have not used it before but this brand also introduces bacteria into your tank. Price wise, it is on the same level as Shrimp King, which means it is a bit pricey.

Because of potential dangers, we along with many other shrimp keepers, recommend that you only dose half of the amount from the official directions at most. Again, this is true unless someone with enough time, money and connection can do this experiment in a well established lab for microbes (e.g. UC Davis). I do not know what toxic substances these bacterias remove in the water. I have done my research on this. So far I found that Bacillus subtitles can thrive in anaerobe environment (e.g. they will use nitrate (known poisonous) as a replacement for oxygen and convert them to nitrite (poisonous in large concentration)). But be aware that they can turn nitrite to ammonia as well. As for doubts if Bacter AE has bacteria in it, I have observed that it does have bacteria in it based on my experiments. Again, I do not have any means to quantify my experiments. But visual results is sufficient for me. As far as activation go, I do not know the rate of activation. I did an experiment using Bacter AE, table sugar and 8 oz of soda bottles with control (e.i. just RO water), RO water with few drops of SeaChem Flourish, and water from my tank. The only bottle that did activate (e.i. visual mass growth in the bottle and increased pressure) was the later one. That said, there are other products out there for shrimp food. It is indeed a hassle to use a questionable product and risk losing more.

Feeding Instructions

These powder foods are often intended as additional feeding because the basic supply is our Shrimp Dinner. Further, these bacteria will use the oxygen dissolved in the water. If you do not fix the aeration system, the scarcity of oxygen may kill your shrimp. Introduces bacteria to speed up biofilm production: In general, there are 2 types of boosters. Bacter Ae falls into the 2nd group (see below). It introduces 2 common types of bacteria in addition to other ingredients such as amino acids and vitamins.

The official Glas Garten dosage direction is based on a fish tank that can hold 120 liters (or around 31.7 gallons). The company also uses the included measuring spoon, which can hold up to approximately 500 milligrams, as a metric for the dosage amount. Official Baster AE dosage directions for the first week My betta is doing well and has some red cherry shrimps in with him and a friend gave me some small slightly blue snails and they are breeding wildly, so that tank is doing very well!The Glas Garten Bacter AE Micro Powder Water Additive should be used as a supplementary food as it adds amino acids, enzymes and microorganisms into your shrimp tank.
