USE & DOSE

TANK VOLUME
100L / 25 gallons
DOSE
Start with 1-2 whole T-bags.
DIRECT OR FILTER USE
Place directly in the aquarium or in a filter compartment or media area.
SEPARATE BREW
Hot brew separately and cool fully before dosing gradually, or cold brew for several hours or overnight before dosing gradually.
REMOVE / REPLACE
For direct use, remove the bag when the water reaches the tint you want. Treat each bag as single-use.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE WATER

TANNIN RELEASE
The selected leaf or bark releases tannins and humic substances into the water.
WATER TINT
The visible result can range from warm amber to dark brown.
VISIBLE DEVELOPMENT
Tint strength and release speed vary with the botanical, aquarium volume, contact time and water conditions.
FILTER / WATER APPEARANCE
Carbon, Purigen and other chemical filtration can reduce visible tint.

Water-parameter response depends on the aquarium and buffering; no fixed pH, KH or GH direction is promised.

SELECTED BOTANICAL

INDIAN ALMOND LEAF

Indian Almond Leaf — crushed botanical material in a sealed XXL infusion T-bag, approximately 10g per bag.

IN-TANK BEHAVIOUR

CONTAINED BOTANICAL INFUSION

A removable T-bag format keeps the selected botanical contained during use.

Premium XXL Botanical Aquarium T-Bags: CLEAN CONTAINED FORMAT

CLEAN CONTAINED FORMAT

The botanical remains held in the bag instead of becoming loose material in the aquarium.

SAFETY

  • Introduce gradually, especially in small aquariums and in soft or low-KH water.
  • Do not increase the dose simply to chase a particular chemistry result.
  • Observe ornamental fish and shrimp after introduction and remove the bag if the response is unsuitable.
  • For ornamental aquarium use only. Not a medication and not for human consumption.
  • Keep unused bags away from children and pets.

Product-specific answers

FAQ

What is the difference between using an XXL T-Bag and adding loose botanicals?

The T-bag keeps the selected crushed or powdered botanical contained, giving a cleaner handling and removal route than adding loose material.

How dark will the water become?

The result may range from warm amber to dark brown. Intensity varies with the botanical, aquarium volume, contact time, water conditions and filtration, so an exact shade or timing cannot be promised.

Does the T-Bag lower pH or KH?

No exact pH or KH change is guaranteed. Water-parameter response depends on the aquarium and its buffering, so introduce gradually and monitor the actual water.
