Enhance Your Aquarium with Marina Decor Mangrove Root, Large Review

I bought this item for my 20 gallon aquarium. Unfortunately this caused a major algae problem in my aquarium - after a few days the water turned completely green and the algae completely covered every inch of this decoration. I had to change the filter in the aquarium every 3-5 days it was that bad (these filters should last a month). I took it out of the tank and gave it a thorough cleaning, causing the paint to come off. I was hoping that the algae wouldn't be that strong after cleaning, but…

I never write a review but felt the need to return to this purchase in February. I read other reviews about this artificial mangrove root in aquarium water.

He was vomiting stinky, sulphurous, white goo all over the tank. I quickly removed most of this slime from the aquarium, and the…

The artificial decorations look more realistic, but you can easily tell it's fake. There are however small sharp edges from production but I just undercut them a bit and it came out like new. I think the packaging is very nice. The root was wrapped in styrofoam, placed in a box, then that box was placed in a large box filled with wrapping paper to keep it from moving.
