Hello aquarists! I decided to make a video about alder cones in an aquarium. Probably almost every aquarist has heard of the positive effects of alder cones on water quality. There may be some among you who use alder cones in their aquarium. He once bred shrimp and used alder cones as a natural water conditioner. But I did not fully understand how the cones affect the properties of the water in the aquarium, and what are the benefits of them. Of course I've heard of the tannins and humic substances in buds, alkaloids and antioxidants. But this is all for me, something ephemeral and incomprehensible, like vitamin A in carrots.
I wanted to conduct an experiment, and in practice to understand how alder cones affect the properties of water, which I can measure with tests. I was interested in how alder cones affect acidity (pH), carbonate hardness (KH), and total hardness (GH), and whether they affect nitrogen compounds in water.
