Description

Elderly Stone from WIO is a highly sought-after type of stone for aquascaping because of its distinctive texture and striking "crack pattern". Elderly Stone is also known and highly prized in the trade under the names, Frodo Stone, Ancient Stones or European Manten Stone. Unique features include complex and deep cracks in sometimes geometric shapes, as well as crevices and fissures reminiscent of ice or snow, giving the stone a unique appearance.

The colouring ranges from brownish to grey, with larger pieces having a strong character that sets the atmosphere of the layout. The jagged texture and cracks create a sense of wabi-sabi, making it perfect for iwagumi style and high rock formations.

Elderly Stone can also be ideally combined with wood for a very natural look. Each piece is unique, making it a great choice for aquascaping enthusiasts who want to add character and personality to their aquarium or terrarium.

Elderly Stone can slightly increase pH and water hardness, making it ideal for aquariums with soft water types. The versatility, uniqueness and striking appearance make this type of rock a popular choice with hobbyists and professionals alike.

Note

These Rocks sets are untreated natural products. They can be used in aquariums as well as in terrariums. It is recommended to clean and rinse Rocks decoration under running water before using it in the aquarium. This removes the finest stagnant particles, which can otherwise cause cloudiness when a new aquarium is set up. Slight residues of moss or lichen cannot be ruled out completely.
The sets are already compiled before they reach Aquasabi, so they can not be opened or altered.
