I added 10 giant alder cones to my shrimp tank and noticed a significant drop in pH within a week. The shrimp seem more active and less stressed. The tannins appear to help with their health, especially during water changes.

Used 30 cones in a 10-gallon tank. The water turned slightly brown, which is expected. My bettas and shrimp are thriving. The anti-fungal properties helped during a minor infection in one of the shrimp.

Great product for creating hiding spots. The cones provide natural cover for baby shrimp and help maintain a stable pH. I’ve used them for two months now and haven’t seen any negative effects.
