Fluval Peat Granules, Filter Insert for Strong Growth of Aquatic Plants in Freshwater Aquariums, 500 g

This product seems to be working well, as its helping to control my PH, as it only been a month.Currently keeping data and progress on the product.

Brilliant stuff lowered my Ph from 9 to low 7s high 6s in the matter of a week, perfect for my apistograma pair, 190 tank

This is a very effective way of softening your water and making it a little more acidic.Using this product does add a little discolouration to the water but then most tanks are so bright the fish might actually be happier with it being a little darker.I use a small amount of this in my external filter and change it every 3 months (every 2 filter cleaning cycles).I think I'm right in believing this doesn't go well with active carbon. I personally use ceramic blocks, various sponges, (both for good bacteria and for removing larger debris) and ammonia remover media. My fish is a more obscure type of community aquarium and the fish seem to be happy with this setup.

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!

Really pleased with purchase as now no longer suffer from constant spikes of pH in tropical tank 👍

If you have plenty of time we get there. How much to use is guess work but of course results in dismantling canister or other to add more and so reduce media each time. FX6 nearly a basket full and still no PH down. A lot of work (rinsing, soaking each measured amount, bagging (messy, still a bit came out like hair when turn filter on and used 50 micron filter bag to house), dismantle filter(s), waiting to test) and monthly cost. I ended up getting fish to match the tap water!

Works a treat in my 60ltr shrimp tank was struggling with my PH was always at 7.8 so bought some small nylon bags filled half way with granules rinsed in water for 1min and hung it over the side with water filter flowing thru it and after 4days now PH is now down to 6.13...... getting to low now so will have to remove some of the granules. Hope this helps someone else. jon.

Perfect for my Amazonian themed planted tank.Perfect to soften the water for my Blue and Golden Ram Cichlids, also my Cardinal Tetras are thriving, this product has induced my Rams into breeding, really please with it.Doesn’t discolour the water, aslong as you don’t add a lot, don’t have to add great amounts to make the PH more acidic.
