Seiryu Rock (Mini Landscape Rock) 1lb.

Seiryu Stone, also known as 'Mini Landscape Rock,' is a highly sought-after aquascaping material renowned for its dramatic, jagged appearance and striking white-gray coloration. This limestone rock is characterized by its sharp, angular edges, deep crevices, and a naturally weathered texture, making it ideal for creating dynamic and visually captivating underwater landscapes. Its unique aesthetic lends itself particularly well to 'Iwagumi' style aquascapes, where the arrangement of stones forms the central focus.

Seiryu Stone's high calcium carbonate content means it will significantly raise the pH and hardness of your aquarium water. This makes it unsuitable for soft water setups or fish species that require acidic conditions. Regular water testing and adjustments are crucial when using Seiryu Stone. For hard water aquariums, it creates a beautiful, natural environment.

Its porous surface allows for the attachment of aquatic plants and the growth of beneficial bacteria, contributing to a healthy and balanced ecosystem. The sharp edges and crevices provide ample hiding places and territories for fish and invertebrates.

Before adding Seiryu Stone to your aquarium, it's essential to thoroughly rinse it to remove any loose debris or dust. Consider soaking it in water for a period to help stabilize its effects on water chemistry. Due to its natural composition, each piece of Seiryu Stone is unique, with variations in shape, size, and texture. Please be aware that the sharp edges can potentially damage delicate fish fins, so careful consideration should be given to the inhabitants of your tank."
