NatureBoys Nature Boys Husks
DBS HUSK is from the Chestnut Family and collected locally. – Rich in Tannins with antibacterial and antifungal properties– Reduce the chance of bacterial infections-These tannins also facilitate moulting of shrimps.– The shrimp either graze on the bio-film that will accumulate on the husk or eat the inner part of the DBS husk as it breaks down over a period of time.– Cover with boiling water and soak till waterlogged. Rinse before adding to your tank.– At first, rather start with one or 2 Husks. WARNING: PLEASE TAKE NOTEThe shrimp will eat the inner part of the husk which will result that the remainder will fall apart making a mess!! We highly recommend that you place it within a glass dish and don’t move it. It is high in tannins and tend to make your water tea-like in colour however, this is good for the tank inhabitants. Highly recommend this also for the BLACK TANK lovers.

Dennerle Deponit-Mix Professional 10in1
Multimineral nutrient soil for freshwater aquaria Building on its extensive knowledge of the natural habitats of the most popular aquatic plants, Dennerle has developed a humus-rich long-term mineral nutrient soil especially for aquariums. The plant is optimally supplied with all the nutrients it needs via the strong, widely branched rootstock. This allows the care of even sensitive species that are rather difficult to keep in the aquarium. Of course, Deponit-Mix does not contain any additional phosphates and nitrates – nutrients that can promote algae in excessive concentrations – and it is covered by the aquarium gravel as the bottom layer. Many years of practical experience show: Deponit-Mix effectively prevents algae plagues. The combination of depot nutrients, trace elements and clay minerals, which regulate the nutrient balance, always gives the aquatic plant roots the right amount of nutrients. Humic-rich natural peat slightly acidifies the soil and makes plant nutrients more available. Clay minerals, humus substances and soil bacteria are already active in the slightly moistened deponite mix. The bacteria are supplied with oxygen through the two holes in the lid. Also unique are the white activator beads, which provide full microorganism power right at the start like a bacterial filling station. Depending on the plant population, lighting and other fertilization, aquariums with DeponitMix can last up to 10 years.

Aquavitro Aquavitro shrimp start
Aquavitro shrimp start is the complete conditioner for your freshwater shrimp aquarium. shrimp start™ removes chlorine, chloramine and ammonia. shrimp start converts ammonia into a safe, non-toxic form that is readily removed by the tank’s biofilter. shrimp start may be used during tank cycling to alleviate ammonia/nitrate toxicity and allows the biofilter to more efficiently remove them. It will also detoxify heavy metals found in the tap water. shrimp start is non-acidic and will not impact pH. Use at start-up and whenever adding or replacing water.

Aquavitro Aquavitro shrimp pHb
Aquavitro shrimp pHb is one part of a two-part system which aids in replicating the water chemistry found in the native habitats of freshwater shrimp by buffering water to the natural pH for each specific type of shrimp. Used according to directions, shrimp pHb maintains the proper pH parameters of freshwater shrimp while also softening water and supporting growth of plants in shrimp aquaria. shrimp pHb is made from a unique buffer system that is extremely stable and does not add sodium, which can damage plants in the aquarium.
