Compared to chemical variations that have similar results, alder cones are pesticide-free, have no additives and add a raw beauty to your fish tank. Other natural solutions include cholla wood and catappa leaves. Depending on your pH requirements, you can use any 1 or any combination of these 3 elements. The quantity to be used varies according to the aquarium size and number of pets and the species. Start with 1 cone per gallon and observe the pH effect to determine 'ideal' quantity.Some of the most ideal habitats for pH stabilizer cones are the shrimp tanks, betta fish bowls and blackwater habitats.
