Using a patented method, Söchting Oxydators produce normal and activated oxygen in the aquarium by means of Oxydator solution and special ceramic catalysts. The activated oxygen decomposes particularly putrid matters and toxicants and, thus essentially improves the well-being of fish and plants. Pure oxygen created by the Söchting Oxydator is mostly immediately dissolved in the water, so that there are hardly any bubbles produced.
Due to the Oxydator's oxidizing capacity, the water quality will be improved and harmful contaminants in the water will be neutralised and In the summer, it is effective at fighting algae. The benefits of adding hydrogen peroxide to an aquarium in cases of acute oxygen deficiency, water putrefaction and water turbidity, have been known for a long time.
New is the continuous and critically higher dose of hydrogen peroxide, which the Söchting Oxydator decomposes into oxygen (O2) and water (H2O).
Your aquarium's water quality will be fundamentally improved and problems such as those aforementioned will be greatly hindered. The Söchting Oxydator breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen: 2 H2O2 --> 2 H2O + O2.

Pro Shrimp's comment:

We are using these in all of our tanks. Shrimp become visibly more active and agile, water becomes clearer. They are a great weapon against overheating in summer, because they constantly supply the water with pure oxygen. One Mini Oxydator is enough for up to 60L water volume (use 1 catalyst for tanks of less than 30L). You can use several Oxydators for bigger tanks. One filling of solution will last between 2-4 weeks (depending on temperator, number of catalysts and used solution). The oxydator will be delivered with enough solution for 6 refills. Additional solution is available in refill packs. Catalysts will never be used up, so you won't need to replace these.

Note: At the beginning the Oxydator solution will be used up quicker until the correct oxygen level has been established. After that the manufacturer data of 2-4 weeks will be correct.

I'd like to hear your experiences when you have some feedback with how your shrimp react to it.

I'll no doubt be posting photos etc. but don't forget up untill the begining of February I'd never heard of Opeaula :what:
and seen as the Soching Oxydator went into the tank a couple of days before the Shrimp I've no reference of keeping them without, maybe you and other members will notice something ?
I'm amased how something so small with tiny legs can scoot about the tank so fast, there's always 3 or 4 about - Lava rocks to tank sides to surface to bottom of tank through the Lava rock tubes, they're never still long enough to photo and even if they were they're so small the camera will not focus on them. When they're swimming about they don't mind swimming through the bubble column, I've not seen them on the base yet though :blink:

I know! Tell me about it trying to get good photos! The photos I post are luck based lol. I use an old dslr (Sony nex-5n) and their macro lenses which cost about the same as the camera body lol. You can use extension tubes/rings with a normal lens to get the same effect though and the tubes/rings only cost about £10.

@opae ula related uses a clip on thing for his phones camera and gets some real great photos too!

more like 'designed obsolescence' open/ close the battery door a set number of times and the Mickey Mouse plastic hinge fails :angry: then you're supposed to buy a new camera.
We seem to be living in a throw away society ! still didn't focus and it wasn't moving

It looks nice a red from the photo from what i can make out, your wait for the tank to cycle has paid off tremendously.
