shift Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 I started using 100% RODI water in my crystal tank have have been using African chiclid water conditioner to re-minneralize.. seems to be working well.. I see a lot of people seem to like "SALTY SHRIMP Bee Shrimp Mineral GH+" is there any big difference in using that vs the chicilid water conditioner?

Jaykidding Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Well I think it's better to use a shrimp specialized reminilizer just to be safer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 My understanding is that it is pretty common in Asia to use African Cichlid conditioner for cards. EricM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 I still have a ton left (bought a big bottle probably a year ago)... i'm ordering some shirmp later this week so was debating if its worth picking some of the shrimp specific stuff up.. if its better then I mind as well but if its essential the same thing then i wont waste the extra money.

Vpier Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 My understanding is that it is pretty common in Asia to use African Cichlid conditioner for cards. Are you referring to cards as in cardinal type shrimps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 As in caridina. I know the shrimp one was developed specifically for shrimp, although there doesn't seem to be any harm in using the cichlid stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Bryce is correct... Nutrafin African Cichlid Conditioner was one of the original remineralizers that most used back in the day.. I still have a few unopened bottles! but being that it was developed for fish not shrimp if you have the option go with a shrimp specific liquid like SL-Aqua Blue Wizard. While we travelled around Taiwan visiting different large breeding rooms we noticed it was heavily used by many different big name breeders! rwong2k, Soothing Shrimp and Wygglz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 So is there any real difference in the two? Aka if I have a big bottle of the cichlids stuff should i swap to shrimp or do it in a year when I run out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I originally started the hobby using the Salty Shrimp GH+ remineralizer, but as the market expanded and liquids became more known that is the route I took. I was using MK Breed Blue Diamond with great results but recently switched to Lowkeys remineralizer for testing.

Hey Daryl, I can't remember if you've touched on it in a previous video, but how are you liking the Lowkeys remineralizer? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on an ro/di setup and I'm looking for a liquid reminerazlier. I can't find the MK Breed Blue Diamond in stock on Hanaquatics and so I'd love to get your thoughts on the Lowkeys remineralizer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was ordering salty shrimp and it ended up being cheapest (with shipping & exchange) to buy from England. I hope someone in Canada starts selling it SL-Aqua soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have only had the change to use it once. Very simple with parallel results to the Blue Diamond, once I start using it more though I can give you a little more accurate review.
