Product Information
Full details
The Aqua One Granite Cave Round is an ideal addition for aquarium hobbyists looking to provide a secure, stress-reducing retreat for bottom-dwellers and shy fish. Designed to mimic natural stone, it provides a stable environment for aquatic inhabitants to hide, spawn, or rest, though users should be mindful that the specific medium size is best suited for smaller fish species and may require multiple units to build larger, more complex structures.

FAQs
Is the material safe for all fish?
Yes, the material is inert and specifically designed to be aquarium-safe for all freshwater and saltwater inhabitants.
Can I stack multiple caves?
Yes, the Granite Cave range is designed to be stackable, allowing you to create customized rock formations.
Will this alter my water chemistry?
No, the material is inert and will not change your pH or water hardness levels.
How do I ensure the cave is stable?
Place it directly on the aquarium glass or on a flat, even layer of substrate to prevent it from tipping.
Is this suitable for large plecos?
The medium size (12cm x 9cm x 6.5cm) is generally too small for fully grown plecos, which may require larger specialized caves.
Troubleshooting
The cave is covered in green algae.
Remove the cave during your water change and scrub with a clean, aquarium-safe brush under running tap water.
Fish are not using the cave.
Try repositioning the cave in a quieter part of the tank, away from high-traffic areas or strong filter currents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before placing the cave in your aquarium, rinse it thoroughly under cool tap water to remove any dust from the manufacturing process. Do not use soap or detergents. The cave is compatible with both freshwater and saltwater setups, though you should monitor for algae growth over time. To clean, simply remove the cave during your routine water change and scrub away algae with a clean toothbrush reserved specifically for tank maintenance. Ensure that the cave is placed on a level substrate to prevent it from settling unevenly or trapping smaller fish underneath the edges.
