Hello Mark, Thank you for this video. I made an Oxydator with H2O2 (5 %) and coat hanger wire catalyst. It works and fine oxygen bubbles are created into the bottle. The problem is that H2O2 is released slowly through the two small holes in cap but there is no O2 bubbles in my aquarium. So, I thought that released H2O2 must react with some organic to produce O2 bubbles. I put then the bottle directly on the soil and it worked. Now I can see bubbles of O2 ☺️
very interesting. i may need to get some mini versions of this for my 20l blue velvet and 30l red cherry tanks. you explained it perfectly mark. I understood anyway
That was always my doubt! I use the original 6% solution, but sometimes is not available. Never considered to use ordinary peroxyde because i have affraid that may contain other stuff as stabilizers or specially traces of copper from fabrication process. So... is the most common 10% peroxyde from pharmacy safe to use?? :)
fantastic vid Mark, I simply wouldn't have a shrimp tank without one of these. I've seen baby shrimp play on top and around mine so many times.. it is an invaluable addition and I would absolutely recommend any shrimp keeper get one. I now use 9% peroxide which I pick-up from a salon service stockist.
Marks Shrimp Tanks it is greater in quantity and frewuency but does taper once it nears saturation Mark. I like to use it when in a bigger tank as it oxygenates the water faster. I do have the 'big oxydator' and found it overkill. It would be useful for 100+ litre tanks but anything below, a regular oxydators with 9% solution does the job quickly and for me the more oxygen the better for those baby shrimp. I'm not sure if 12% is perhaps too high but possibly not in a big tank.
Why? There is no reason to use this. Hydrogen peroxide reacts with water and creates oxygen and water. Why would you add oxygen in such a slow way? An air stone is much better. Hydrogen peroxide is also a desinfectant, it kills microorganisms. Again, why? There is no need for it. It doesn't do this selectively, it kills both beneficial bacteria and otherwise. It seems to me you just decided this is somehow beneficial, and that's about it.
Thanks Mark, that was really informative and helpful for me. Come pay day I shall be ordering a couple of these. Jeez I love this channel I learn so much and you are so helpful. ❤
Mark thanks for the video. Has anyone ever fed micro worms to their shrimps??? In one of my tanks I keep it baby guppies with the shrimps, and whenever I feed the guppies micro worms the shrimps go crazy after the worns
I grow microworms for my betta and feed the excess production to my shrimp. I assume they eat it just fine because the shrimp immediately go nuts when the worms hit the water...though I find it pretty much impossible to observe them actually eating them, as the cloud of tiny worms disperses too much to keep track of. I do know for sure that my shrimp love eating bloodworms.
I was hoping you had this video. I have a Dennerele 10 gallon Scaper tank (about to be my new first Shrimp tank). Should I get size ‘d’ of this oxydator? Thanks so much for sending me the link so I could watch again. Need to order a few products form your store soon.
How does this compare to the electrolytic oxydators like the "Chihiros doctor II" in terms of oxidation (so the end result)? this ofcourse is cheaper and also works in case of a power outage, but it has to be filled every now and then (do you happen to know how often?), which is something i'd rather avoid (unless ofcourse in the case there does happen to be a power outage).
Giwan the problem Ive always had with the other types is they make oxygen from the water thats already there so to me they are not adding anything at all ,if anything I think they would accelerate oxygen depletion.
great video . I already purchased one , thank you for your big help with this hobby . I was asking if any hydrogen peroxide from farmacy is good to go with?
It cleans the water through oxygen oxidation the result is a cleaner water with a higher oxygen content. They recommend one mine oxydator per 60 liter tank .
Hi Mark, I'm really amazed about your way to keep the shrimp. I have a little question for you. Do we really need air generator in shrimp tank? I'm a newbie, pls help me.
does it replace an airstone completely even for getting shrimp crayfish and lobsters shedding their outside shield...dpn t know the official word for their hard cover they shed and replace e ery now and then...but does it help enough to totally replace airstonew for that use when as well do the oxygenproduction?
Hey Mark! Awesome video. I purchased one based on your review. I've been using the mini in my 17g tank for couple weeks now at 72f, and noticed using 1 catalyst, it runs out rather quickly, about 1 to 1.5 weeks. Any reason for this? Also, I heard that when using this, some people say to NOT agitate the surface, since it will be gassing out the o2. Is that true?
Hello I am multiplying in Iran and I do not have much material due to the sanctions. Please advise what is the replacement of the catalyst ceramic and liquid oxidation machine?
Ok, I have to admit, I didn't get any of that... i"m not very good at chemistry nor at shrimp keeping. But I would love to understand the correlation of the elements put inside a tank. To check my understanding, this oxydator could be a replacement for the oxygen pump? Are there any other benefits to it? How long does it last per dose? Lastly, is it a must have?
No its not a replacement even though it will increase oxygen you still really need surface movement ...this items main job is to clean the water it does this through oxydation, the by products are pure water and pure oxygen :)
Hard to find it in south east Asia …. I force myself to buy it from local online dealer page which they order goods from Amazon or eBay …. 1 mini sochting cost me nearly 37$ >.
Its an oxydator meaning it oxydates everything that passes it and it also adds pure oxygen to the tank as a by product ,they are just all over it because they think I have put food in the tank :)
Hello Mark i saw your video and bought this but now running out of the solution can you help explain what i need to buy please for so many confuse my old mind.. it is very expensive to buy and unable to find it any cheaper than £22 for just one bottle, many make it themselves with 3% peroxide with different methods of the water that should be added, now would the actual tank water be ok to add to it and how much do i use, i am so confused and thought of you because you make things clearer and are honest.. i know you are busy yet would appreciate any advice from you.. thank you so much :)
You dont 100% need these devices, do they help yes but do you have to have them no, I have a lot of tanks with none in them, my advice would be if your confused by this stuff dont use them, wrong dosing etc can kill a tank.
Go to the grocery store and buy a bottle of peroxide. Read the label. Read the percentage of hydrogen peroxide on the label. Divide the percentage on the bottle by the concentration of hydrogen peroxide you want to achieve. So if you have 30% hydrogen peroxide from the bottle and you want 6% divide 30 by 6 which gives you 5. That means if you have 5mL of hydrogen peroxide, you need to add 20mL of tank water to your 5mL of hydrogen peroxide.
hi Mark , thank you for the video its very helpful and i managed to get some from europe , my question is whats similar Liquid i can buy becuse its very hard to find Food Grade hydrogen proxide , We only have the one in the pharmacy 3 % or 6 % percent is that safe for the shrimp tank ?
So hard to find in the U.S. the Söchting Oxydator. I know of 6 to 10 websites that carry them (however they are always Out Of Stock). About the only size in stock is the mini for nano tanks, all other sizes out of stock. So frustrating. Would love to have one in each of my shrimp tanks.
Michael Agostino diy king chanbel has an diy version with use of hydrogen perioxide and potatoes plus air tube and petbottle. Check his channel to see if you want to make one yourself till you either finally can get one or stick with the diy version if you come to love it?
Hello, i see that you use 6% solution, for small tanks like 20 or 30 liters is better 6% or 3% solution? thanks and keep doing this videos, they are very useful
you can use ether but 6% wont last so long as it will react faster with the catalyst. so the difference is you will go from filling it up once every week to filling it up every week if you use 6%.
Couldn't find anyone selling this from where I am ... do you think if I could D.I.Y this ? lol I'm curious whether if there's a specific name of the tiny black ceramic inside the glass called as you mentioned there's some kind of silver in it
Hey Mark! I just put in the mini in my tank and was curious about something. Once I put it in, within 5 minutes, a few of them started going crazy, and darting around, I even noticed a couple molts. Is this normal behavior? I ended up taking out the Oxydator for now.
Hey Mark! So I put it back in finally, and looks like everything is ok with the tank! Last question, I promise haha. I don't see that many tiny bubbles come out of it, but occasionally I just see a big bubble pop upwards. Am I setting it up wrong by any chance? I followed exactly how you set it up, so I am not sure.
Hey Mark! Great videos! Have you ever heard of the Twinstar Shrimp 50? Would using that and a SÖCHTING Oxydator pretty much do the same thing? Or are they different?
I cant get my head round where a twinstar gets all the oxygen ..I know its through electrolysis but to me that means its stripping the water of oxygen not adding it ..I am not sure if they are a gimmick or what.
Wow thanks for the quick reply! Yeah, I got the twinstar as a gift, so I figured I'll use it, and recently saw this video about the Oxydator for more oxygen and ordered a Mini. I figured more oxygen can't hurt...but wanted to see if these 2 devices would conflict. Thanks!
It isn't taking oxygen from the water it breaks the water h2o into h and o. It is that device should the oxydator release o3 ozone that kills bad stuff
Great video! It looks like you are using söchtings H2O2 solution, but do you know if you can use the ones from our pharmacies here in Norway, as long as it contains 6%? :)
Hey Mark, another good video. I was going to buy one of these a while ago, not sure how it worked though. So thanks for the video. I'm wondering if this has any effect on green slime algae aka cyanobacteria. Somebody should test it!
Hi Mark, I'm in the UK, any idea where I can purchase a Söchting Oxydator? Searching for it, I can only find versions available in the US and France, very costly for me to ship to UK. Many thanks
try here my friend and yes I am an affiliate but there prices are pretty cheap, they ship from Germany. www.aquaristikshop.com/aquaristic/Soechting-Oxydator-Mini/216008/
@Marks Shrimp Tanks, Any online retailer in Norway (that would ship overseas) the SÖCHTING Oxydator? We cannot get them in Australia and eBay is a total rip-off regarding them.
They are a rip off everywhere, I was meant to get a load of them from the manufacturer but they never bothered shipping them, I did actuall buy 10 of them online for around 100 Euros which is the cheapest I have seen them anywhere, I will get you a link www.aquaristikshop.com/aquaristic/Soechting-Oxydator-Mini/216008/
I have a decent link that the cheapest I can find them anywhere in europe , I have started to buy a lot of stuff from this shop now www.aquaristikshop.com/en/
Yes you can leave them in tanks all the time, I dont think they are 100% necessary thats why I dont have them in all my tanks BUT they do help I think.
Hi Mark, Thanks for this video! I used hydrogen peroxide to kill cyano as well but I maybe used too much of it (10 ml 🫢) so my question is do you know if there is a maximal dosis of H2O2 per liter? My tank is cycling now but I would like to use H2O2 safely when shrimps will be added.
Tank volume in liters divided by the H202% gives you the safe dose in ml. I actually based this dosage on probably a year of testing at different strengths until I had a dose where the shrimp didn't react. so if you test it and you see any reaction like the shrimp are acting erratic do like a small water change.

Kind of like the contact cleaners,she’s some metal or whatever the catalyst to change to o2 and leave water, or release both I guess?
Great video thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and thank you for explaining it in our language lol 👍🏻
so it burns organics and produces oxygen? whoever came up with that (a mr. SÖCHTING i presume) is a smart cookie
Hey Mark, What's your opinion regarding oxydators and Sulawesi Shrimp's. Do you think that the H2O2 will kill the green alga on which are feeding?
Cool I remember I asked u about this a long time ago thanks for sharing

@@MarksShrimpTanks thanks Mark!!
DIY of this is H2O2 plus potato (which has catalase). It produces water and oxygen gas.
liver can be used too.
The reason I have never done a diy version is out of respect for the makers ,the thing only costs about 7-8 dollars and thats with the H2O2.

Ebay ,amazon,pro shrimp in the uk has them,garnelen tom in germany also has them I think :)

I dont think so, I have dosed H202 at alot higher levels and its been pretty safe so far

I don't get it. Why have a catalyst if you want it to oxidize contaminates in the water?
you need the reaction in the tube to force out H202 from 2 pin holes in the base. 👍

I think they are independent of each other so this shouldn't affect anything.
Thx budd, watching your videos is like watching a masterclass.
I just got my first few shrimp, got them in a planted tank, is it best if I turn off the light of the tank at night, or does it matter?

It isn't taking oxygen from the water it breaks the water h2o into h and o. It is that device should the oxydator release o3 ozone that kills bad stuff
Perhaps I am hard of understanding but what is the good of this device?
It chemically cleans the water via active oxygen (Oxydation) and pure oxygen for the tank. waste is just pure water.
Marks Shrimp Tanks now, I understand.
Great video! It looks like you are using söchtings H2O2 solution, but do you know if you can use the ones from our pharmacies here in Norway, as long as it contains 6%? :)
Drizzel
Yes you can, but as you said it yourself, be careful you buy the ones with 6 or max 12%. Those at the pharmacies mostly have 30%.
Mark, can you use 8% or 3% Hydrogen preoxcide in the sochting oxydator? Can't find the 6%.
yes I think so , I have used 3% before all that will happen with 8% is that it will produce more oxygen probably.
Marks Shrimp Tanks Thank you my friend!
Ebay 6% food grade lots available
Hey Mark, another good video. I was going to buy one of these a while ago, not sure how it worked though. So thanks for the video.
I'm wondering if this has any effect on green slime algae aka cyanobacteria. Somebody should test it!
Yes it should have an effect ,cyano loves stagnant water that doesn't move very much ..Water produced from the oxydator is the opposite of stagnant.
How often do you have to replace the hydrogen peroxide?
1-2 weeks :)
H2O2- removes one oxygen or releases it, leave H2O (Water)
Does it have to be food grade peroxide? Would regular 3% work?
yes as long as it has nothing else in it.

Hi Mark, I'm in the UK, any idea where I can purchase a Söchting Oxydator? Searching for it, I can only find versions available in the US and France, very costly for me to ship to UK. Many thanks
try here my friend and yes I am an affiliate but there prices are pretty cheap, they ship from Germany. www.aquaristikshop.com/aquaristic/Soechting-Oxydator-Mini/216008/
Thanks Mark, just placed an order, keep up the good work 👍😁
Does the catalyst come in the box?
@@njames306 yes there is 2
Really interesting, thanks for the info!
Youare welcome Mak :)
@Marks Shrimp Tanks, Any online retailer in Norway (that would ship overseas) the SÖCHTING Oxydator? We cannot get them in Australia and eBay is a total rip-off regarding them.
They are a rip off everywhere, I was meant to get a load of them from the manufacturer but they never bothered shipping them, I did actuall buy 10 of them online for around 100 Euros which is the cheapest I have seen them anywhere, I will get you a link www.aquaristikshop.com/aquaristic/Soechting-Oxydator-Mini/216008/
@@MarksShrimpTanks Thank you very much for the link. The AUD$80.97 postage is a killer though. 😊
LITERALLY just wrote on another video to understand what this is !
Could i put this in a community tank?
oh yes, you even get large ones for ponds etc
Hi I'm in Australia and I was wondering where I could get this? thanks
If you wait a week or two I will do a diy video on something like this that you will be able to make for a few dollars :)
@@MarksShrimpTanksOo ok thanks! :)

I bought mine online. When you enter “söchting oxydator” on google, you’ll probably find 1 or more webshops where they sell it.
Can this be used in betta tanks? Where to buy?
Cant see why not.
Doesn't peroxide also help with algae?
When are you gonna do another Q & A?
Yes this will help with algea but dont dose it directly into the tank because I have heard of people losing all there shrimp that way,not worth it.
Where can i buy one from? Cant seem to find any in the UK.
I have a decent link that the cheapest I can find them anywhere in europe , I have started to buy a lot of stuff from this shop now www.aquaristikshop.com/en/
@@MarksShrimpTanks actually found the 60l one on eBay from Germany for cheap and the h202 as well. But thanks for taking the time to comment
Mark, is this something you will leave in indefinitely or do you use it for a specific amount of time in each aquarium?
Yes you can leave them in tanks all the time, I dont think they are 100% necessary thats why I dont have them in all my tanks BUT they do help I think.
Thanks for the reply.
Do you have a messenger app that can send your tanks photos and videos and use your valuable experiences?
O facebook I have messenger if thats wht you mean ?
Thinking this has an effect on pH
I would imagine it would,maybe raise the ph a little what do you think ?
Cooooool
Thats what you are but what am I ...wait did I say it wrong :D
Marks Shrimp Tanks hahahahhaa even i dont know if its right xD
Hey Mark! Are you planning on selling these? I would buy.
I asked them along time ago and they never answered my emails so take from that what you will :D
Where can I get one of these?
Google this ( Garnelen Tom ) He has them :)
Thank You for the help.
petstires and fishtank stores sell them.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for this video! I used hydrogen peroxide to kill cyano as well but I maybe used too much of it (10 ml 🫢) so my question is do you know if there is a maximal dosis of H2O2 per liter?
My tank is cycling now but I would like to use H2O2 safely when shrimps will be added.
Tank volume in liters divided by the H202% gives you the safe dose in ml. I actually based this dosage on probably a year of testing at different strengths until I had a dose where the shrimp didn't react. so if you test it and you see any reaction like the shrimp are acting erratic do like a small water change.
Do you sell these?
No I dont, I have been trying to get them direct from the manufacturer but to date they havnt sent anything.
@@MarksShrimpTanks where can I find these
do you still use this?
no but just because I keep on forgetting about them lol if I had gallons of h202 and lots of the devices I would use them in every tank.
@@MarksShrimpTanks interesting, thanks for the quick response!
Very welcome Lauren :)
