Prodibio AquaShrimp Powder 3 kg inkl. Bacter Kit Soil

How to use AquaShrimp Powder?

AquaShrimp Powder is ready to use. It is not necessary to rinse it. A 3 liter/3 Kg (0.75 GAL/105.82 oz) bag is suitable for a 20 liter (5 Gal) aquarium. This will allow a soil thickness of around 5 cm (2 inches). Using 150 g (5.29 oz) of soil per liter (0.25 Gal) will grant the aquarium the best soil quantity needed. The powder texture of AquaShrimp Powder will allow shrimpsto lay their eggs and keep them at the surface of the substrate, preventing the trapping of the eggs by the soil.

1. a). Pour a height of approximately 1 cm (0.4 inch) of dechlorinated water in the aquarium. b). Optional: if the substrate additive BacterKit Soil from Prodibio is used, mix it in the water. 1 Box of BacterKit Soil for a bag of AquaGrowth Soil or AquaShrimp Powder. All the box has to be used to treat an Aquarium from 0 to 60 Liters (15 gal).

2. a). If the aquarium is not going to be planted, or lightly planted, directly add the quantity of AquaShrimp Powder needed. At this stage, AquaShrimp Powder will absorb all the water. b). Optional: If the aquarium is going to host a lot of plants, first add a layer of AquaGrowth Soil as per instructions. AquaGrowth Soil has a granule size better suited for fixation and development of plant roots. On top of the AquaGrowth Soil, add around 2 to 3 cm (0.8 to 1.1 inches) of AquaShrimp Powder in order to cover AquaGrowth Soil layer. This will avoid having shrimp eggs and young shrimps to be trapped in the soil, and will help them to stay at the surface of the AquaShrimp Powder. At this stage, the soils will absorb all the water.

3. Add the main decoration elements (stones, aquatic woods, etc…) and install the aquatic layout as desired.

4. a). Add more water gently to avoid creating holes in the substrate and breaking the aquarium design until the soil surface has been covered in water. b). Optional: in case of a planted aquarium, add plants and continue to set up the aquarium decoration until everything looks as desired.
