GlasGarten Bacter AE 70 g

Product Information

Even with the new Shrimp Fit, we want the active ingredients to be absorbed by all animals, not just by those who are still strong to get the food, but especially by those who may not be so fit. And with the Bacter AE, of course, it is clear why it must be a powder food. It should distribute itself to boost the growth of the biofilm because the pads feeding would be counterproductive. Conclusion s Mosure BT-9: Unknown ingredient list which is a big turnoff for me. Not sure if it contains bacteria or just boost current ones. This powerful powdered supplement boosts the development of biofilms in the tank. So, your shrimp may enjoy their staple food from these biofilms.

That’s why I’ve noted down some suggestions. These will help you prevent Bacter AE from harming your shrimp.

Tip # 2: you need to have good aeration when you use this product much like your nitrifying bacteria. Bacillus Subtilis and Lactobacillus are the two strains found in Bacter AE. These strains of bacteria are aerobic by nature and will start to consume O2 as soon as they become active. How to dose Bacter AE The amount of Bacter AE, as well as the frequency of dosage, depends on the size of your shrimp tank as well as many shrimps you have living inside it. Shrimp King Bio Tase: Shrimp King is a brand that I prefer as I have used their other products. Have not personally try this one but have hear good things. It is more expensive then bacter ae by a few dollars. If you are having problems keeping your shrimps alive and/or expanding your Shrimp colony, then we highly recommend using Bacter AE as it should provide a constant source of healthy protein. Otherwise, you can apply the pre-mix method. For this, you should add the powder to a bottle of water first. After diluting the powder, you can add the mixture to the shrimp tank. What Is The Problem With Bacter AE?

Experience the transformative benefits of Bacter AE, the ultimate solution for enhancing the health and vitality of your aquarium. This revolutionary product harnesses the power of beneficial microorganisms to create an optimal environment for your aquatic inhabitants.

Bacter AE is easy to feed and overfeed. Keep in mind all the time that it is better to underfeed than overfeed. All you have to do: Bacter AE Micro Powder adds important microorganisms, amino acids and enzymes to your aquarium. It enhancing water quality and improving the development of biofilms, which are essential for shrimp. The biofilms thus created provide them with a valuable staple food rich in beneficial proteins, especially improving the survival rate of young shrimplets. In addition, live probiotic bacteria improve the nutrient uptake of the shrimp and influence their digestive processes in a positive way.

Pretty much all the same. The only bacteria that can survive in a bottle or in dry powdered form and be revived in water is Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus. (sidenote: These bacteria types are very tolerant of a wide range in pH and temps. That's why they can survive in the digestive system. ) We are not trying to prove which one of us is wrong. We share thoughts and opinions based on our experience. I really like this because we are learning. Everybody has a valid point except if you do something stupid like my example above. As I have mentioned (and you too as well), this product is hit or miss - if it works, you continue using it; if it does not, you go away. I do am curious on this product as well. But running experiments in a product is a very sensitive matter. Well, GlasGarten can sue you for learning and handing out information about their proprietary product. Of course, you can sue them if you prove that all or at least one of their claims is wrong. Both products actually complement each other quite well. So, we recommend getting both if possible and then alternating between these foods to your pets. Finding the right amount of dosage for the Bacter AE powder to put into your shrimp tank can be somewhat confusing. 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.

Packaging Size

You can also use the following calculations, which is based on gallons, to dose Bacter AE after the first week: But anyway, that product is not what you are interested in since your tanks are already cycled. What you want is probiotics for more biofilm.

We generally cannot see biofilm with the naked eye as it is very thin but when biofilm multiplies like crazy. It is a type of white slime and this is a paradise for your shrimp. What are the Ingredients of Bacter AE?
