WIO Elderly Stone - Unique Rugged Texture for Stunning Aquascapes

The Elderly Stone is a must-have for aquascaping enthusiasts who seek to create natural, striking landscapes in their aquariums or terrariums. This top-selling stone is revered for its distinctive texture and intricate "cracking" pattern, reminiscent of ice or snow formations. Each stone is unique, featuring natural cracks and crevices that have developed over time, giving it an unparalleled appearance that adds depth and character to any layout.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Unique Appearance: The rugged texture and intricate "cracking" pattern of Elderly Stone make it a standout choice for aquascaping. The stone's color ranges from pale brownish to grey, with larger pieces adding a commanding presence to your scape.
• Versatile Design Options: Ideal for creating high rocky formations, especially in Iwagumi style aquascapes, the Elderly Stone can also be combined with wood for a more natural and harmonious look. Its unique appearance lends itself to a variety of design possibilities, making it perfect for both minimalist and complex setups.
• Natural Wabi-Sabi Aesthetic: The stone's natural imperfections and weathered look bring a sense of wabi-sabi, a Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in imperfection, making your scape feel more organic and connected to nature.
• Aquarium Compatibility: Elderly Stone may slightly raise the pH and hardness of the water, making it ideal for setups with soft water species. However, these changes are minimal and can be easily managed with regular water changes and the use of a water softener if necessary.
• Variety of Sizes: Available in Small, Mix, and Large sizes, with individual stones ranging from 10 to 30 cm, Eco.Wio Elderly Stone caters to a wide range of aquarium sizes and design needs.

Usage Instructions:

1. Preparation: Rinse the stones thoroughly with water before use. Use a brush to clean off any dust or debris.
2. Placement: Avoid placing the stones directly on the aquarium glass as they can be heavy and sharp. Instead, use a substrate or LandForms base to secure the stones and provide more flexibility in positioning.
3. Stabilization: When stacking stones, especially when placing one on top of another, ensure they are securely positioned using ScapeBound or similar materials to prevent movement during maintenance, which could harm your aquatic inhabitants or damage the aquarium.
4. Maintenance: Place the stones a few centimeters/inches away from the aquarium glass walls to facilitate easy cleaning and maintenance.
5. Water Management: Monitor pH and kH levels, especially in soft water setups, by performing regular water changes with osmotic or soft water, or by using a water softener as needed.
