Whenever I come back to check your stuff, I always learn something new. Thank you Mark! ❤

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

My pleasure!

If you have trolls, egg them on with things that will trigger them, KZbin doesn’t care if a comment is negative or positive. It’s still a comment and only strengthens your channel in the algorithm. Love your videos, and FB page, they both have really helped me out.

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Thank you, My issue is I am not that great with words so I do mix up what I say a lot in my videos. 🤣

[@littleshopintheshed]

@@MarksShrimpTanks pin the nasty comment to the top, and let us take care of them. Even more comments on the video

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Ive been hidding user from the channel which boils their blood, takes them a while to realize that nobody can see their comments 🤣

[@fishtropiccanada4747]

Super juice for the tank ❤

[@afnaanameer9111]

Since when are putting this in your tanks . What was the thing you had been using as a replacement for this previously?

[@kazBrown4350]

Can't rate this highly enough! I put a picture of one of my tanks on Marks page and as you will see my water is crystal clear! Definitely more berried shrimp also thanks again Mark for sharing! 😊

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

That is awesome!

[@flare1185]

Hi Mark, I started the culture two days ago. When can I start dosing in my tank? Thank you.

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Hi sorry for the reply you can add it to the tank's as soon as it starts producing bubbles 👍

[@paultitmuss]

This may be a silly question but would this also work for Aquariums with fish, not just shrimp tanks?

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

yes for sure, what I would suggest on my own exsperience is to just start a fresh batch each time because it seems to last longer.

[@JohnWood-tk1ge]

I keep red cherry shrimp,is there a benefit to using this in their tank? I understand that shrimp that like soft water would benefit from it.

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

No I dont think so, Cherrys are very easy to keep, I start nearly all of my neo type tanks with seachem stability.

[@JohnWood-tk1ge]

@@MarksShrimpTanks thank you for answering!

[@Mark-yv3ij]

Is it good for neocaridina aswell 🤔

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Yes but if I am honest I dont use this much anymore, if you do use it just use fresh batches, you can restart them but I find they lose their power in later batches.

[@martinleidesdorff7796]

@@MarksShrimpTanks Hello Mark, is there a reason why you do not use this anymore..?

[@catfishm.1361]

Do all shrimp need salt in their tanks? Doesn’t it kill snails? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

the salt is for the bacteria to consume.

Great information thanks for sharing Mark

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Thank you Cooper :)

[@chuckcleaves6816]

Thanks again sir

[@Tina1969.-]

Hi Mark do I still need to dose with BactaAE or is the lactobacillus enough?? Thanks. Love your work ❤

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

No need

[@gerryvorias2944]

Hi Mark. Excellent content. I do 10% water changes every week. Do I dose the lacto every week after the water change?

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Yes you do

[@christophergonzalez6290]

How often are you dosing your tanks with your lactobacillus mixture?

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

after a water change which is every 2- 3 weeks

[@christophergonzalez6290]

@@MarksShrimpTanks You mention that the mixture lasts about one to three weeks. So someone with three shrimp tanks. Would they use a smaller bottle to make that lactobacillus or using that size bottle is important in order to produce a good culture ?

[@vanissaberg5824]

​@@christophergonzalez6290 you can refrigerate it to extend the shelf life of the lactobacillus up to several months. The cold puts them to "sleep" and bringing them to room temperature wakes them back up.

[@glpshrimp6301]

Great video as always. What’s your favourite coffee? ☕️

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Now you are talking, right now its nescaffe exspresso

[@VaDirtfishing]

How many tanks do you have ??

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

20- 25

[@VoyeurOfMisfortune]

Brown rice is much better because it has not been dehusked as white rice has. the rice husk is where all of the minerals in the rice exist and whatever natural yeasts of the rice would also live there

[@mesahoundjoe3467]

Why not off-gas the CO2 into your planted tanks?

[@onlyfinsnyctest]

That's a thrifty little idea.

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

Ive messed around enough with CO2 🤣

[@vanissaberg5824]

I've done that when brewing my hard ginger ales and sodas. It makes a great little C02 generator that you can drink afterward lol. But definitely not for kids if it goes too long lol. My favorite flavor I made was a spiced hard apple cider. 😊 You could probably do the same with the lactobacillus culture just the same.
