Alder Cones for Natural pH Lowering
The Sera alder cones help lower the pH value of aquarium water in a natural way. They prevent fungal infections and support the natural spawning behavior of fish. These cones also help create conditions similar to black water, which mimics natural habitats and promotes appropriate fish care.
Application
- 1 cone per 10 liters (2.6 US gallons) of aquarium water
- Up to 1 cone per 1 liter (1 US quart) can be used for supporting disease treatments
- The pH value should be monitored when using higher dosages
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Usage | 1 cone per 10 l water (standard) |
| Maximum dosage | 1 cone per 1 l for disease support |
| Function | Lower pH, prevent fungal infections, support spawning |
FAQ
How do alder cones affect the pH of the water?
Alder cones naturally lower the pH value of aquarium water, helping to create a more acidic environment similar to natural black water habitats.
Can alder cones be used to treat fungal infections?
Yes, alder cones help prevent fungal infections and support the fish’s natural resistance, especially when used in appropriate dosages.
What is the recommended dosage for regular use?
One alder cone per 10 liters (2.6 US gallons) of aquarium water is recommended for regular use.

I’ve used alder cones for several months in my aquarium. The water has become noticeably darker and the pH has stabilized. My fish seem more active and healthy. No signs of fungal issues so far. Works well with my black water setup.

The cones are easy to add and the water changes noticeably after a week. I noticed better spawning behavior in my bettas. I monitor pH regularly and it stays within the desired range.

Great product for maintaining natural conditions. I added one cone per 10 liters as recommended. The water clarity improved and my fish appear more natural in behavior. No side effects observed.
