Aliquots

Product description

Product overview

Aliquots release important humins and tannins. Humins in the aquarium promote good plant growth as they release nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur into the water. There is also a mild decrease in pH and the water becomes a natural but crystal clear color, just as shrimp prefer in their natural environment.

The advantage of the tanning agent is that it naturally inhibits bacteria that are harmful to your shrimp, such as bacteria and fungal spores. Aliquots are also perfect if you want to promote the reproduction of your shrimp. It is thanks to the "black water effect" that the animals get ready to spawn.

The shrimp will visit the small cones to graze, tear or hide.

  • Promotes the vitality and well-being of your shrimp

  • Natural coloring of the water.

  • Reduces unwanted bacterial growth.

  • Blocks fungi to prevent fungal infections and infestations.

Instructions for use: Place the cones directly in the aquarium water. 1 cone is enough for approx. 10-20 liters. The cones sink to the bottom of the aquarium within minutes and soon begin to release their active agents. The aliquots should be replaced every two to three weeks.

The old cones can remain in the aquarium as decoration if desired. The aliquots can be stored almost indefinitely if stored in a dry place. As they are a completely natural product, they may vary in shape, color and size.

The package contains about 10-12 breathalyzers.
