The 70 g box holds a micro powder made with microorganisms, amino acids and enzymes, and it comes with a measuring spoon that holds about 0.5 g. The maker lists it for dwarf and nano shrimp such as neocaridina, amano, red cherry, rili, ghost and bamboo shrimp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the 70 g box contains\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe box holds 70 g of micro powder and one measuring spoon.

First, the tank should be freshwater and hold dwarf or nano shrimp such as neocaridina, amano, red cherry, rili, ghost or bamboo. Second, the dose is set for 120 litres, so a smaller or larger tank changes how much you add. Third, the powder is activated when it meets water, so it goes straight into the tank rather than into a filter basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to dose Bacter AE\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe directions give three daily doses for a 120-litre tank, depending on how heavily it is stocked. A lightly stocked tank takes half a measuring spoon a day, a normally stocked tank takes one spoon a day, and a heavily stocked tank takes one spoon twice a day. For the first week of use, add only half the dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMicroorganisms, enzymes and amino acids\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater triggers activation of these two microorganisms, Bacillus subtilis and Pediococcus acidilactici, which the powder contains.
