Alder cones (1.5-3cm)
Alder cones are naturally rich in tannins and will release tannic acid into your aquarium water. Tannic acid can slowly lower the PH level in soft water aquariums. Tannic acid, phenols and other compounds leached from alder cones appear to have anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-parasitic properties. All of our aquatic botanicals need to be boiled for at least an hour to saturate them before use. This is a natural product and variation between leaves and botanicals is expected.
