Everyone seems to be happy. Hope that helps. **Q: Do you need to refrigerate after opening?** A: I do not refrigerate mine and it has been fine. Just keep it dry. I have not seen this being refrigerated. I do not believe it is needed. **Q: I'm having difficulty opening the jar. The lid only turns halfway before stopping completely. Any help?** A: Maybe the tracks are off or something. It's just plastic too so you can maybe gently pry it from underneath while trying to unscrew it. **Q: Will this bring down the tds in an aquarium** A: Hi, it will increase the TDS in an aquarium.

Be careful how much you put in the tank. Watch a few videos before to avoid overfeeding ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shrimp love it *by B***S on March 31, 2026* My cherry shrimp absolutely love it!, hits make sure to use a small amount, I use about the end of a tooth pick for this size tank, too much will cause an amonia spike ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Slow is best for a great biofilm. *by K***D on April 19, 2026* Excellent for keeping Neocaridina shrimp. I use about an eighth of the scoop about once a week in a 20 gallon to maintain/increase a healthy biofilm. In a new tank, I use a full scoop to create new biofilm. If you have floating plants and/or Java mossin your tank, they will rapidly multiply. This is the sign to stop using the powder. You’ll know you’ve used too much, if you start to see unwanted pests such as Hydra and planaria appear. You’ll know you’ve got it right when detritus worms appear. Just go slow. You can always add more, but you can’t take it away without a water change. In my experience, Neocaridina shrimp do not like major water changes. I have tanks filtered by plants only (both underwater and houseplants above), and this is an extremely important addition to my ecosystem. I am currently starting a 55 gallon with this powder. Really great stuff. ## Frequently Bought Together - GlasGarten Bacter AE Micro Powder Water Additive for Shrimp Tanks CRS Bee Cherry (35g) - GlasGarten Shrimp Baby Food - GlasGarten Shrimp Fit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/143443683-bacter-ae-micro-powder-water-additive-for-shrimp-tanks-crs](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/143443683-bacter-ae-micro-powder-water-additive-for-shrimp-tanks-crs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-03*
