Review by Alex Chee:
“I’ve been utilizing this product, and it saves significantly compared to the RM2 per bottle version found at the fish shop. You can mix this powder with a larger amount of water, making it much more cost-effective than the 100ml – 200ml bottle versions available in fish shops.”
