Wonder Shell (by Weco Products)-Aquarium Minor and Trace Element Mineral Block (Electrolytes); Aquarium and Pond water conditioner
kH and GH aid, Calcium Buffer; also ich, velvet and fungus treatment.

     
 
MEDICATED AND REGULAR WONDER SHELL;



REGULAR WONDER SHELL (no medication)- Mineral Block;
Great for ph control, calcium carbonate, water hardness control.



* Helps keep aquarium clear (in part by maintaining a good Redox)

* Aids in the maintenance of a stable ph. For maintaining a high pH or KH Wonder Shells should be combined with baking soda or better; Sea Chem Buffer (please note that Wonder Shells do not generally raise KH or pH, they more aid in maintenance of these parameters).

* Adds necessary minerals/electrolytes (VERY IMPORTANT)

* Removes chlorine

* Great for Goldfish, livebearers, cichlids, and more

* Contains Calcium Carbonate (a Very Important element proper osmotic function in fish!); ALL minor, and trace elements in the exact ratio (with the exception of calcium) as found in the ocean, including magnesium sulfate.
Calcium and magnesium have been proven to help fish (and humans) during stress and to help prevent disease due to acid buildup in the body. These elements (along with Sodium Chloride/salt) are important for the prevention (& even treatment) of Saprolegnia (fish Fungus)

*Regular Wonder Shells can also prevent and even treat HITH by virtue of the necessary minerals found within these products.

* Extremely useful in planted aquariums at maintaining hardness (and I mean general hardness, not KH as studies in photosynthesis prove) to counter act peak daytime photosynthesis.
Wonder Shells are also useful for other minerals required by plants.
Please see this article for more: Aquarium Plants; Information and care

*Dissolves as trace elements are depleted in an aquarium; larger aquariums or those low in trace elements will dissolve Wonder Shells at a higher rate until stable. Calcium (which is the carrier for the other elements) will not exceed safe levels as aquariums will precipitate out excess. GH readings will reflect this however the GH will only show the overall hardness, not the balance of trace elements so higher readings (over 200 ppm) are only reflecting excess calcium.
I have used Wonder Shells for just this purpose in 1000s of aquariums I have professionally maintained and never have seen a Wonder Shell add “too much” calcium or other elements.
Keep in mind that if your aquarium is low in electrolytes that your fish may temporarily react to the increased trace and minor elements (electrolytes). This would compare to changing water in a tank with high nitrates and too low pH, the fish will need to be adjusted to the improved water quality

* NOT A CURE ALL for poor water management, but a useful tool in proper aquarium maintenance. (This is an excellent product, but the name is misleading, as Wonder Shells do not perform “wonders”, it is just a useful product with years of aquarist use to back it up). It is also worthy of note, that Wonder Shells have been available for years in California where word of mouth as made them very popular despite lack of marketing, poor packaging, and a gimmicky name; WHY? Because they work.

* The small Wonder Shells are excellent for Betta bowls.

*And due to new research, Wonder Shells also help with Aquarium Redox Potential

*PLEASE NOTE; the Wonder Shells have poor packaging as these are a products that have sold very well over the years purely from “word of mouth” due to the effectiveness of this product (so the manufacturer has never improved the packaging), however the packaging does not reflect how best to use these as the packaging states “the large (“giant”) is for ponds while the medium (“super”) is for 10-15 gallon aquariums”; these directions do NOT reflect how best to use them as the medium works well up to 40 gallons and the large is not only for ponds (actually too small for all but the smallest ponds unless multiples are added).
The Wonder Shells will dissolve as needed for minerals/electrolytes and should be replaced when about ¼ original size. The Wonder Shells can also be broken for economy and should be placed in areas of low water current (not filters) for best results.

(Can also be used for fungus in aquatic turtles)

Lg. (45-60 gal. tank)- $3.99


A unique product that we have tested on our professional aquarium service [with 27 years experience] with excellent results. It helps oxygenate and add important minerals to your aquarium or small pond. But in addition to that it helps prevent and treat ich [and other protozoan diseases], fungal and bacterial diseases. This product has the advantage of a steady flow of medication unlike the spikes of medication in traditional treatments, which is easier on the fish. Great for Gourami, goldfish, livebearer, discus and more. As a preventative, we recommend adding a shell[s] every time you add fish or change water. As a treatment, treat 2-3 weeks [and no longer]; add another shell when the first one is 2/3 dissolved. We recommend the super wonder shell for 10 to 35 gallon aquariums and the giant for 40 gallon or larger aquariums/ponds. Use one giant wonder shell per 40 -60 gallons of aquarium or pond water. Carbon filtration may be used during treatment but monitor results especially if being used as a treatment, as compared to a preventative.

We now have a small size for 1-3 gallon bowls (great for Bettas!). Do NOT use in bowls under 1 gallon. These come in a set of three (the same way the regular small wonder shells are sold) for $2.99 per set of three.

• Probably one of the most effective treatments for velvet available, as the copper sulfate and methylene blue not only kill the swimming stage (as in ich), but kill velvet (Piscinoodinium pillulare) in the dormant stage by destroying the chloroplasts.
• Effective for mild to moderate ich infestations
• Effective for true fungal infections
• Another positive to this product is the electrolytes in the wonder shell stabilize the methylene blue medication, making it much safer. While the Calcium buffers the malachite green (which is more toxic at lower pH).
• Not recommended as a cure or treatment for true bacterial diseases.

NOW AVAILABLE: MARINE WONDER SHELL (LG. ONLY)-$3.99
Can Be Used In Freshwater Where Only Malachite Green Is Desired (not as effective though-especially for fungus)
Active ingredient: Malachite Green, no copper
One shell per 40 -70 gallon aquarium


They are not as strong as the freshwater wonder shell, as the marine shell is lacking a few ingredients that effective on ich, but hard on invertebrates. The marine wonder shells do work though and are safe for most invertebrates (careful with Cephalopods). We recommend that you follow a few other steps for marine ich;
[1] Dip your fish in a methylene blue dip solution at double strength for 30 seconds to 1 minute (using freshwater at a ph of 8.2 works best)
[2] If at all possible move the fish to a bare hospital tank (often not possible).
[3] You can safely increase the Marine wonder shell if ich is not responding (not FW Wonder Shell!)
