General Information
All our Cholla is Harvested from free standing Cholla.
This means the wood has not been on ground collecting fungi,moisture ect.
It is also Thorn/spike free! %100 ORGANIC,
not harvested from farmlands or cattle pastures.
Cholla Wood is a fantastic and natural way to lower and buffer PH.
It also has benefit for shrimps tank and shrimp love to graze for biofilm
on the surfaces of the wood or hide in there while/after molting.
To prepare the wood before putting in aquarium, simply boil it or soak in hot water
for a day to remove excess tannins and to make it sink.

Alder Cones
Effects and Benefits of Alder Cones Is 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.
