WTB: Alder Cones

[MadHatter]

I've read good things about the addition of Alder Cones to the Aquarium, particularly in controlling bacterial/fungal infection of eggs. Can anyone suggest a good supplier? Alternatively, does anyone know of a stand of alder trees in the Melbourne area where I might collect these myself?

There is a lady that sells them on ebay or amazon.com, can't remember which. I got 400 for about $20 or less. She gets them from her home in Oregon or Washington state. If you can't find some from her, let me know, I can send you a few. You only need a couple for a 20 gallon tank, from my experience.

Aha. I found them.

Her price has come down. Probably will be $10 with shipping. They are indeed all natural.

Howdy,

There is also a member on AquariCentral that has some, 100 for $4. Here's the link: http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=221713. He is great to deal with and ships fast. I got 400 from him last week.

HTH,
