LEAF IN THE AQUARIUM WATER

As the water from our taps does not always have the ideal parameters for the maintenance of some fish, The leaves improve some conditions; in this way, we replicate the natural habitat of fish, mainly tropical fish from acidic waters such as those that come from some places in Asia and from South America.

When added to the aquarium, the leaf gradually deteriorates, releasing substances beneficial to fish and aquarium water. The primary substances are phenols, acids, and tannins.

These substances actively help decrease the hardness and subsequently the pH of the water. The leaves have reduced much of the water hardness.

As the leaves release acids such as humic and tannic (which are present in higher concentrations), the pH and hardness of the water are reduced. This effect is accomplished so that if you want a natural solution to lower the pH levels in your aquarium, our Matchimaa leaves will help you achieve this.
