Aquarium Botanicals for Beginners is a small selection of carefully selected aquarium botanicals we know you will love and have a successful first experience using in your botanical aquarium. These aquatic botanicals break down slowly, provide medium levels of tannins, and help to begin building your aquatic ecosystem. As always, we recommend adding all botanical materials slowly to the aquarium, utilizing 2-3 prepared leaves or seed pods per 5 gallons, once per week, until the desired look is achieved.
