Bee Max

[shrimpstan]

Does anyone know how much Bee Max to put in when starting a new tank? And do u really need to keep it in the freezer? Should have asked at the shop :p

Any help much appreciated! :encouragement:

I keep it in the freezer just cause it recommends to & I've had bad experiences with not following recommendations before. :encouragement:

I used about 2-3 teaspoons under the substrate of a 2ft x 1.5ft x 1.5ft tank & about 2 teaspoons in a 2ft x 1ft x 1ft, seems to have worked pretty well. :victorious:

Thanks Sqiggs,

Do u mean the little 'teaspoon' supplied?

I thought i read somewhere that when setting up u use a lot more.. could be mistaken though.

Anyone else used it on start up?

Hahaha, yeah it's got a real citrus like smell to it & very strong. :encouragement:

I think the stuff smells like Vegemite!

I leave mine in the freezer, and use it each fortnight, a pinch per 25 lt.... Good stuff :-)

Honestly to me it smell like spew after sculling some bad orange juice!

Lots hope the shrimp don't think so! :p

I stored it in my drawer and after few weeks it started to group themselves.. they became pieces.

So I started putting them in freezer :p

I strangely like the smell :/ cant quite pin what it smells like though, malted milk powder?

But yeah, I keep mine in the freezer too
