Fluval Aquatic Peat Granules, Chemical Filter Media for Freshwater Aquariums, Water Softener, 17.6 oz., A1465, White, 1.1 Pound (Pack of 1)

Fluval Peat Granules have been a game-changer for my discus tank! These granules have gradually lowered my pH to the perfect level, creating an ideal environment for my discus. I love that the change was slow and steady, preventing any shock to my fish. In addition to stabilising pH, the granules also release beneficial tannins into the water. These tannins have not only enhanced the natural look of the tank but also seem to have boosted my discus’s immune system. Since using this product, my discus have been more active, vibrant, and appear to be thriving. If you’re looking for a natural, effective way to improve water parameters and support your discus’s health, I highly recommend Global Peat Granules. It’s a must-have for any serious discus keeper!

Muy bien éste producto

Très bon produit ! J’en utilise environ 100 g dans le filtre de mon aquarium Rio 125 L que je change tous les mois. L’eau prend une légère teinte ambrée très agréable et naturelle, les poissons et les plantes semblent apprécier. Depuis que je l’utilise, je constate aussi moins d’algues. ⚠️ À prévoir : utilisez-la dans un petit filet ou une chaussette en collants adaptée, surtout ne la mettez pas directement dans le bac, sinon elle risque de s’éparpiller partout. Je recommande sans hésiter !

Utilizzata in un acquario dolce da 120 litri, questa torba si è rivelata un ottimo alleato per ammorbidire l’acqua e mantenere stabile il pH. Inserita nel filtro esterno all’interno di un sacchetto filtrante, ha iniziato a fare effetto già dopo 2-3 giorni. pH e durezza in lieve ma costante calo, esattamente come desiderato (da pH 7.2 a circa 6.6). L’acqua assume una leggera tonalità ambrata, molto naturale e piacevole, perfetta per pesci amazzonici o asiatici (tetra, betta, ecc.). Zero problemi per pesci e piante: nessun intorbidimento, nessun cattivo odore, anzi, l’acqua appare più viva e bilanciata. Azione graduale e controllabile in base alla quantità usata e al flusso del filtro. Personalmente l’ho sostituita ogni 4-5 settimane per mantenere costante l’effetto. Ottima anche per ridurre lo stress nei pesci e migliorare la qualità dell’acqua in modo naturale. In conclusione: torba di ottima qualità, consigliata per chi vuole abbassare il pH e creare un ambiente più naturale, soprattutto per pesci soft water. Un prodotto semplice ma efficace, perfetto per acquari dolci di medie dimensioni.

It's exactly what it says it is. I like the colour it gives the water and the smell. It works great for lowering the pH, you can put it in a little baggie of cheese cloth or something or let it soak loose in the water. (I would avoid leaving the peat in the water for too long as it may lower the pH more than you would prefer.) I use it to lower the pH in my aquariums. As I said, I really like the colour it gives the water and my fish like the lower pH. It's best to treat the water and take the peat out of the water before you add it to your aquarium, for a more consistent pH. If you leave too much peat in your aquariums or water of whatever sort, I believe that eventually the pH will eventually reach approximately 4.4 (if what google told me is true), which makes sense as I tested some in a jar of water overnight, the pH was lower than that of what my test kit could read.
