Rock Maple - Natural Furnishing Rock

The Rock Maple Mixed It is a natural ornamental rock selected for the preparation of freshwater aquariums, aquascaping layouts and biotopo settings. The use of natural rocks represents one of the fundamental elements in the construction of Hardscape, ie the carrier and scenographic structure of the aquarium.

Thanks to its irregular morphology and the variety of shapes present in mixed selection, it allows you to recreate mountain areas, river landscapes and wild scenery with high visual impact. Being a 100% natural product, each piece differs in size, shades, weight and superficial conformation.

Technical features

• Material: Natural non-artificial rock

• Type: Ornamental rock for aquarium

• Structure: irregular, with fractures and natural surfaces

• Color: variable shades from the dark to the dark

• Selection: assorted, different elements for shape and size

• Use: freshwater aquariums, aquascaping, terrariums

Rocks function in the aquarium set up

Natural rocks play an essential role of both aesthetic and functional.

From a structural point of view:

• Create focal points and perspective depth
• Stabilize woods and natural roots
• allow the construction of three-dimensional structures
• They offer secure shelters for fish and invertebrates
• Delimit territories in the most territorial species

From a biological point of view:

• favor bacterial colonization
• They offer surfaces for biofilm formation
• allow the anchoring of mosses and epiphyard plants

The natural surface contributes to the balance of the aquatic ecosystem, especially during the tank ripening phase.

Ideal for aquascaping and naturalistic layout

The Maple rock is suitable for:

• Iwagumi style layout

• Natural aquascaping

• "Wild" settings

• River and mountain biotopes

• Tightening with strong three-dimensionality

Mixed selection allows you to combine rocks of different sizes to make:

• Rocky walls
• Gradoni structures
• Grotes and natural shelters
• Scenographic hills
• Low levels for planting

The result is an authentic, non-repetitive and highly customizable set-up.

Naturalness and variability of the product

Each rock has differences in:

• form
• thickness
• Weight
• color
• Surface texture

This variability is a distinctive feature of natural products and guarantees a unique aquarium. No selection is identical to another, allowing you to create exclusive layouts.

Preparation and security

Before inserting in the aquarium it is advisable:

• Accurate washing with running water alone

• No use of detergents or chemicals

• Preventive verification of possible influence on pH and KH

• Stable positioning before the insertion of the substrate

In the case of species that require very tender water, it is good practice to carry out a preliminary test to verify the chemical neutrality.

Practical guide for neophytes

For those approaching aquarium:

1. Design dry hardcape before filling the tub.

2. Place the main rocks first and then the substrate.

3. Make sure the structure is stable and no connection points.

4. Fill the aquarium slowly to avoid movements.

5. Subsequently integrate plants and woods to complete the natural effect.

Proper initial design improves safety, stability and aesthetics.
