Product Information
Full details
The Aqua One Marble Cave Round is ideal for aquarium hobbyists looking to provide their shy fish or invertebrates with a secure, naturalistic hiding spot. Its primary benefit is the durable, stackable design that allows for custom aquascaping, though users should be aware that the small size is specifically intended for nano-tanks or smaller species rather than large territorial fish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before adding to your aquarium, rinse the cave under lukewarm tap water to remove any dust from the manufacturing process. Do not use soap or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can be toxic to aquatic life. Place the cave firmly on your substrate or directly on the bottom glass to prevent it from toppling.
Compatibility: This cave is safe for use in both freshwater and saltwater tanks. It is inert and will not alter your water chemistry.
Care: During routine tank maintenance, remove the cave to siphon away any detritus or uneaten food that may have accumulated inside. A gentle scrub with an aquarium-safe brush or sponge during a water change is usually sufficient to maintain its appearance.
