Description of 🦐 Premium Alder Cones for Shrimps & Freshwater Tanks - 1” Size, 50 Cones per Pack

βœ” ALDER CONE AS SHRIMP’S STRESS RELIEVER --- Our cones when immersed in water changes the aquarium water color. Consequently, the tinted or the tea-water helps in shedding and the cones serve as a food source for your freshwater crustaceans. βœ” LOWER pH LEVELS --- The pH value in an aquarium varies depending on factors such as water hardness, trace elements present, and oxygen levels. Use our practical 50-pack of cones to lower the pH levels. βœ” PERFECT FOR SHRIMP AND OTHER TROPICAL PETS --- The value pack of cones create an ideal aquatic living environment for tropical inhabitants such as shrimp, bettas, and cichlids. βœ” LOOK AMAZING IN ANY TANK --- The SunGrow Alder Cones add a raw beauty to the aquarium. Similar to cones produced by evergreen trees, the alder cones have numerous woody β€œwings” and are shaped similar to a Christmas tree. Before placing the product in the aquarium, always rinse under the tap water. A "post-boil soak" in fresh water is a recommended step too. βœ” SIZE VARIES BETWEEN HALF AN INCH TO A FULL INCH --- Since these alder cones are not man-made, the size of each one would be unique. The SunGrow Alder Cones range in size from around 0.5” up to a full 1” (1.25cm to 2.5cm). As you get 50 pieces in one pack, they are enough even for the big shrimp aquariums.

Short delivery got 40 instead of 50 but otherwise ok

Product arrived in good condition and on time. My only issue is related to the number of cones received. in the attached picture when i counted them i found i only got 40 alder cones and not the 50 that was advertised. Otherwise the product is as advertised but I'd rather go with an average size of 1/2 inch or less than an inch except for the small pole that some of them attach to, for comparison I'd say they' re about the size of a .177 CAL bullet for those of you who had an air-to-air gun as…

Pros
  • βœ” ALDER CONES AS STRESS RELIEF FOR SHRIMP --- Our cones change the color of the aquarium water when immersed in water. Therefore, dye or tea water encourages detachment, and the buds serve as a food source for your freshwater crustaceans.
Cons
  • So far so good

Works great and makes my shrimp/fish happy

I've had the most success putting them in the water in the microwave (about 3 at a time as my reservoir is 3.7g less, sometimes more if I want the water to have a visible tint used to reduce stress on my critters), heated the water to near boiling (about a minute for a small container) and left it on with a lid until the water was cool enough to add to my tank. I shook the container several times during the chilling process just to bring out the tannins. As soon as I added water to my tank, my…

Pros
  • βœ” LOW pH --- The pH in an aquarium varies depending on factors such as water hardness, trace elements and oxygen levels. Use our handy pack of 50 cones to lower your pH.
Cons
  • Big and Bulky

Shrimp love them, I love tannins

I keep natural style aquariums for my fish and shrimp. I find that natural tanks with lots of plants, tanning agents, leaf litter, etc. encourage the shrimp to reproduce. So I use cholla wood, almond leaves and now these alder cones. The shrimp happily nibble on it all day and they usually fill up and fall to the bottom of the tank within 2 days. Then they start sucking out tannins. Where I live the water is very, very hard, which is great because it encourages shell growth, but I am concerned…

Pros
  • βœ” LOOK AMAZING IN ANY BAKU --- SunGrow alder cones add natural beauty to the aquarium. Like the cones of evergreen trees, alder cones have numerous woody "wings" and are shaped like a Christmas tree. Before adding the product to the aquarium, be sure to rinse it under running water. "Soaking" in fresh water after cooking is also recommended.
Cons
  • Vulgarity
