Alder cones

Alder cones

Alder cones have long been used in aquariums because of the positive effect. Strobiles gives off tannins that reduce the KH in a natural way. Due to the reduction of the KH, the water is softer and more acidic. However, the pH reduction is small, the pH decrease will be a few tenths. This of course, does depend on the layout of the tank. Chalky rocks and soils in the aquarium can ensure that this effect does not take place.

The tannic acids dissolve in the water. This gives the water a light red / brown color. Strobiles are very well suited to create a black water biotope.

The tannic acid that alder cones release are working against bacteria, mold and reduce stress.

The alder cones have been used up after about 6 weeks and can be replaced after that time. You can also let them sit in your aquarium to let them get softer. The shrimp will eat them.

1 alder cone for 10 liter of water. Replace after 1 month.
