Fast arrival great quality

I have not used the cones in my aquarium yet and will try to update this review as soon as possible. I am building a tank and running it for shrimp and other friends to give away. The cones were well packaged and all in good condition. They are small but I got what I expected. I personally like the size as they make little cute additions to the tank. I intend to buy more regularly while I run.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • I will add later

I love their natural look/great pH effect/fish love them

work great and my fish love to play with them. My pH has dropped to a lower level that my fish prefer. It also gives my tank a great natural look made entirely out of live plants and driftwood suitable for the natural environment all my fish typically live in. I love them and recommend them, but I'm in no rush to add more cones. They are very effective at lowering pH, so add them slowly and check often.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not all fit

Super Cute - Aquarium Water Treatment

Alder buds are very cute I read the other reviews and knew they were tiny so the size didn't surprise me. I have a naturally planted nano tank that cycles and I plan on adding shrimp and snails once the cycle is complete so I wanted a more natural decor and have read that shrimp love these things. I also have water with a very high pH which I was hoping would drop. Well they look great and release a little tannin but not enough to obstruct the view. I put one per gallon and it didn't change myโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • No

Uh, I'm not sure.

This product is very small like all the other comments but to be honest it was the first time I used it so I kept it. I need to test the product myself to see if it even helps knowing if I want to buy more elsewhere. Although the essence of the product. I had a small package and I honestly knew 50 pieces wouldn't be there. I threw them out to flush and counted about 11 and that was almost half of them and I realized there was no point in counting the past that received less than half of what it

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Expandable

My fungus problem solved!

I received it 2 days ago so it's too early to write a review but I can already see improvements in my small tank. I have a 2.5 gallon aquarium with live plants and shrimp. I thought the cones were a good size. I have attached some photos. I placed the stalk with the three buds in the aquarium by soaking it in warm water for about 10 minutes. The soaking water had a slight brown tint, but I could not detect any color tint in my aquarium water. The biggest surprise. One of the plants, a Javaneseโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Frequency

Great decor and the shrimp love them

I'm a huge Aquatic Arts fan, I usually buy direct from their website but it's nice to see them on Revain too. These tiny cones are so great for the aquarium and the shrimp love them. I threw one in the aquarium and an Amano immediately swam up to check it out. It's not long enough to see how this affects pH, but the buds make a nice decoration and residents seem to appreciate them. I've also planted a few in a large community aquarium. Great seller, great quality and customer service. Updateโ€ฆ
