Red Lava - Reddish earthy lava stone with unique forms, highly texturized and easy to craft to create high contrast aquascapes. All-purpose stone ideal for many aquascapes, paludariums and terrariums.

  • Description

    Wild Red Lava Stone is a stunning igneous stone and unique addition to any aquarium or terrarium decor. It is made from volcanic lava that has been shaped and formed over time, resulting in a distinctive porous texture and deep reddish color and highly textured, rugged surface. 

     

    The porous texture of Wild Red Lava Stone provides an ideal surface for the growth of beneficial bacteria, which is essential for maintaining a healthy and thriving environment. This is particularly important for aquariums and terrariums that house live plants or animals, as it helps to remove harmful toxins and waste from the water.

     

    In addition to its functional benefits, Wild Red Lava Stone is also a visually stunning decorative element. Its deep red color and porous texture create a natural and earthy feel that is perfect for creating a truly unique and breathtaking display.

     

    The stone is full of fissures and has a highly porous texture, making it an ideal support for mosses and epiphytic plants. It creates an excellent contrast with green plants and is also great for combining with wood to create a natural look. 

     

    Wild red lava is an inert stone, so it does not affect water hardness and is safe for sensitive aquarium animals and plants.

  • Key Points

  • Characteristics

  • Usage

  • It can be used in both aquatic and terrarium environments.
  • Rinse rocks and stones with water before use. Use a brush to clean it before introducing the stones in the aquarium.
  • Avoid placing rocks directly on the glass as they can be very heavy and sharp. Instead, place substrate or our LandForms before placing the hardscape to help fix the exact stone position with more freedom.
  • Always secure the stones, especially when placing one rock on top of another, you can do so with our ScapeBound, as the top rock may move or fall during regular maintenance, harming your dwellers or even breaking the aquarium.
  • Position stones a few centimeters/inches away from aquarium glass walls to facilitate maintenance.
  • Safe for fish, shrimps, and other aquatic animals
