Aqua Natural Organic Peat Moss

DESCRIPTION Aqua Natural Organic Peat Moss is recognized as a superior natural way of lowering freshwater shrimp water pH with the additional benefits of releasing acid rich tannins which also helps soften the water. Shrimp Peat is made from 100% organic peat moss from the pure world famous Canadian sphagnum moss bogs. Shrimp Peat acts in the aquarium by binding calcium and magnesium ions and simultaneously breaking down bicarbonates resulting in hardness reduction and a lower pH. Features: It is recommended to use Shrimp Peat in small amounts and gradually increase the amount needed in order to lower the pH to your required levels. It is recommended not to lower the pH more than 0.2 per 24 hours. As time passes the beneficial properties of Shrimp Peat will diminish as the Peat Moss decomposes. Monitor your pH levels at regular intervals and replace the Shrimp Peat as required. Peat Moss may temporarily discolor the water, this is normal and willresolve over time. Includes: 1.82 qt bag Intended Pet(s): Freshwater Shrimp Material(s): Peat Moss Color: Dark Brown Product Dimensions: Bag is 9 in x 12 in x 2 in Product Weight: 1.82 qt Directions: How much substrate to purchase: For a planted tank we suggest approximately 2 in or 5 cm depth. For pounds: Aquarium Length inches x Width inches x Desired depth inches divided by 32 equals the weight needed in lbs For kilograms: Aquarium Length centimeters x Width cm x Desired depth cm divided by 1,000 equals the weight needed in kgs Directions for Use: Using a filter sock, place the desired amount of Shrimp Peat directly inside your filter, usually between the filter pad and other media you may have. This same technique can be used by placing the sock directly into the aquarium next to the filter water current which will ensure the tannins spread evenly.View details

Aqua Natural Shrimp Scoria

(6)

DESCRIPTION Volcanic Scoria (aka Cinders) is a versatile and effective substrate for freshwater shrimp and other pH sensitive species. Produced naturally from volcanic eruptions over millions of years, Scoria naturally has the perfect properties for freshwater shrimp keeping. Scoria is pH neutral while possessing a huge matrix of porous microscopic internal structures. This matrix gives the Scoria a huge surface area for the colonization of beneficial bacteria which contribute to the conversion of toxic ammonia to harmless elements. Scoria's colors range from bright red to black with black being the rarest. This dark color is extremely sought after as it contrasts brilliantly with all colored aquatic life and aquarium plants. Features: Use Scoria for freshwater aquariums, paludarium and tropical terrariums. Not suitable for strong burrowing fish or use with aquarium vacuum cleaners Includes: 1.82 qt bag Intended Pet(s): Freshwater Shrimp Material(s): Scoria (lava) Color: Black Product Dimensions: Bag is 9 in x 12 in x 2 in Product Weight: 1.82 qt Directions: Rinse your Scoria and evenly spread over aquarium base. Use a scraper or ruler to level the surface, or if desired create gradients with the Scoria. Slowly fill your aquarium with water until the water level is about 3-4cm (1-2in) above the Scoria. This makes planting easier. Begin planting your aquarium. Make sure you spray your plants with water until the planting process is completed. Once the aquarium is planted, slowly fill your tank to the desired level. Power up your filter system and allow the water to clear over the next few hours.View details
