## Description

Bacter AE Micro Powder adds important microorganisms, amino acids and enzymes to your aquarium. It enhances water quality and improves 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.The contained bacteria in Bacter AE Micro Powder cultures are activated as soon as they come into contact with water. They remove toxic substances and, together with all the other carefully fine-tuned components, they provide your aquarium with a good microclimate.Dosage (for 120 Liter)• lowly stocked: daily 1/2 measuring spoon*• normally stocked: daily 1 measuring spoon*• heavily stocked: twice a day 1 measuring spoon*We recommend when first using, add only half the dosage during the first week* 1 measuring spoon = about 0.5gIngredientsAmino acids, polysaccarides, xylanase, glucanase, amylase, protease, hemicellulase, Bacillus subtilis, Pediococcus acidilactici (Lactobacillus)Bacter AE Micro Powder is available in a 35g or 70g box.One measuring spoon is also incl. in the box of Bacter AE Micro Powder.

Review: Good product - Pros: * The container contains a small scooper that is nice to use for good measurement. * Definitely like many other users have said take what the instructions say with a grain of salt and apply about half or more of the scooper depending on your tank size. I have a 5 gallon and a 20 gallon tank and for the 5 gallon it seems about 1/4 of the scoop is good enough and for my 20 gallon 1/2 of the scoop is perfect. * If you have a syringe or a cup make sure you mix it in there before you put it into your tank as it will prevent clumping and make sure that the powder disperses evenly throughout the tank. * This helps with biofilm growth and for sure has good effect. Like many people suggest turn off your filters and then let it settle onto your tank so that most of it doesn't go into the filter. Cons: * The instructions are a bit unclear sometimes and their suggested amount is a bit too much. you might cause a bacterial bloom. * Overall just the instructions can be hard to follow.
Review: Vastly improved survival rates of baby shrimp - This is a great product. After ordering it arrived very quickly and was well-packaged. The jar itself is also well designed. After unscrewing the top cover it reveals an inner lid. The small measuring scoop rest on the lid and stays separated from the powdered food. The inner lid also prevents the food from turning into dust particles in the air upon opening. It also May save the food if dropped while opening. The food itself is in powdered form and is extremely fine. To Add to the tank by measuring out a portion and allow it to dissolve on the surface of your water. The water column quickly fills with food.

I have also added bacter AE to my guppy tank. As all fish need biofilms to support their climate. They do not seem to feed on it as readily as but in my opinion it does improve the fishes stress and comfort level. And in my opinion as well provides every surface with a nice coating of biofilm making it harder for certain types of algae from clinging on to a surface. It also May prevent your fish from scratching him or herself on rough surfaces. As the biofilm acts as a mild lubricant.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used in a fish tank w/o shrimp?**
A: I use it in my shrimp only tanks as well as tanks with shrimp and fish. The Panda Garras and goby in my tank need biofilm to survive. While this product is meant primarily for shrimp, some fish,snails and other invertebrates also benefit from it.

**Q: Is there a shelf life for this product in the container it comes with?**
A: Yes and no. It comes with an expiration date because in Germany they are required by law to include one. However, we have used these well past their expiration date without any issues. As long as the powder stays dry and away from any heat you shouldn't run into any issues.

**Q: Is this safe/effective for brackish water shrimp (specifically opae ula)?**
A: Yes, safe for all shrimps

**Q: Can you in fidler crabs  tank ???**
A: Yes. Just make your calculation first

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of ppl misuse this product. Let me explain..
*by K***N on July 22, 2024*

I attribute this misconception to the manufacturer and the instructions based on the label. This product is a biofilm enhancer. Not food for shrimp. This powder should be applied to tanks struggling to form green algae on there tanks (which normally only is needed in high tech tanks with CO2 injection or newly cycling tanks.). When I start a new tank I apply 1 spoon full (per 20g) with (no inverts or fish in the tank). Wait 2 weeks, perform 50% water change then apply 1/2 spoon full. wait another two weeks, followed by yet another water change this time at 80-90%. By 1 month the algae should be well developed and be an adequate food source for your inverts. It should be noted that this process of growing biofilm does not need bacter AE, it will happen all on its own, this merely accelerates the process. This does not including the process for nitrifiying bacteria (commonly referred to as new tank cycling. Refer to Dr. Tims or Frtiz nitrifying bacteria for these. Cons: can leads to sulfur producing bacteria reduces water quality/clarity Can produce toxic ammonia spikes Pros: Produces nice BIOFILM * not direct food source* Take home message: Do not follow feeding instructions use 1/100-1/20 of the directed amount. Only when starting a new tank or when algae eaters are low. Be patient.
