Alder Cones
Effects and Benefits of Alder Cones In a lower pH, the bacterial density also is low,
which can help prevent bacterial infections and hatch shrimp eggs properly.
Besides, fungi also grow worse in an acid surrounding.
So, we have this reaction chain:
the alder cones release humid acids to the water the humid
acids will lower the hardness and therefore the pH a lower pH reduces the density of bacteria
and fungi (it is supposed that acids can pass cell membranes of bacteria easier
in a pH ~6 and effect their duplicating and growth)
Shrimp like to feed on alder cones - and baby shrimp have a good place to sit and hide.
Remove the cones after 3-4 weeks, before they decompose and break apart.
