Water Conditioner for Shrimps: Biotopol

Gowling · 05-05-2009, 02:05 AM

Found this product while browsing at Seaview.
After adding to the tap water, can feel the water is different immediately. Maybe a bit soapy feeling. But the CRS are doing fine and I noticed they are more active.

Anyone also using this?

Yup.
Mosura is like you pour it in, seemed like no difference to me or to shrimp.
But this one can "feel" the water has changed.

Anyway they belong to different categories, one is water conditioner, one is additive (mosura).

Water conditioner major function is an anti-cholorine. It is same category like Seachem Prime, Sera AquaTan and AquaPlus.

Biotopol is a water conditioner.

Erm, maybe this Biotopol can replace the Seachem Prime that I had been using.
