This product is manufactured by nature and is only harvested from places where nature has remained intact and humans have no harmful influence on them.

What makes Alder Cones so special?

Alder Cones are a source of important Humins (carbon-based macromolecular substances) and naturally colored water. Humins in the aquarium provide growth for plants (releasing nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur into the water), slightly lowering the pH to make the water natural but with a crystal clear coloration, which many aquarium inhabitants prefer in their natural environment. Even for animals that do not come from such areas, Alder Cones offer additional benefits. The tanning agents provide the benefit of naturally inhibiting harmful microbes for your animals, such as bacteria and fungal spores. Therefore, the use of Alder Cones is also ideal if you want to promote the reproduction of your fish. It is only thanks to the "black water effect" that the animals are ready to give birth. The tanning agents will greatly help to prevent fungal infestation of the eggs. When the fish hatch they develop and grow better and look for food particles in the Alder pine cones. Shrimp and various other animals will often visit the pine cones in order to graze on them and hide.

Use. 1 pine nut is sufficient for about 1 pine nut. Use one aqua algae container for about 10 - 20 liters. The pine cones will sink to the bottom of the aquarium within a few minutes and will soon start to release the active agents. Alder pine cones should be replaced every 2 - 3 weeks. Used pine cones can be left in the aquarium as hiding places for crabs and shrimps or they can be replaced. Alder cones can be kept almost indefinitely if stored in a dry place
