How to Use (It's So Easy!):
-
Brew: Simply place one tea bag into your aquarium. For a stronger "brew" and faster tannin release, you can first steep it in a cup of treated warm water for 10-15 minutes, then add both the water and the bag to the tank.
-
Steep: The tea bag will slowly release beneficial tannins, tinting the water a beautiful, mild tea color. This is completely natural and healthy!
-
Replace: Each tea bag will last for 1-2 weeks, depending on your desired water color. Replace it once the color release significantly slows down.
Ingredients:
100% Pure, Dried, and Natural Indian Almond Leaves (Terminalia catappa). No additives, chemicals, or preservatives.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Will it drastically lower my pH? The effect is mild and buffers the water, preventing pH swings. It's ideal for fish that prefer slightly acidic to neutral water. Always monitor your pH when first using.
-
How many do I need for my tank? We recommend one tea bag per 5-10 gallons of water. Adjust based on your desired water darkness.
-
Is it safe for all fish? Yes! It is safe for almost all freshwater fish, especially those from tannin-stained environments. Use with caution in tanks with fish that require very hard, alkaline water (e.g., African Cichlids).
