Full details
The Biorb Moss Pebbles in sand color are perfect for aquarium hobbyists looking to enhance their tank's visual appeal with a natural, organic look. These decorative stones serve as an excellent cover for ceramic media, effectively hiding unsightly filtration elements while maintaining proper water circulation. While they significantly elevate the aesthetic of your setup, it is important to note that they are decorative pieces and require periodic cleaning to prevent algae buildup or sediment accumulation.

FAQs
Are these pebbles safe for my fish?
Yes, Biorb Moss Pebbles are made from non-toxic, aquarium-safe materials that will not leach chemicals into the water.
Can I use these in a saltwater tank?
These pebbles are primarily designed for freshwater environments; using them in saltwater may lead to salt crusting and make them harder to clean.
Do these affect water pH levels?
No, they are chemically inert and will not alter the pH or hardness of your aquarium water.
How many pebbles come in a pack?
Each pack contains 5 large, moss-covered pebbles.
Can I boil these to clean them?
It is not recommended to boil these stones, as excessive heat could degrade the material or the moss-like finish.
Do they obstruct the filter?
When placed correctly, they are designed to cover the media without blocking water flow into the filtration system.
Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before adding the pebbles to your aquarium, rinse them thoroughly under lukewarm tap water to remove any dust from the packaging. Do not use soap or detergents as these can leave harmful chemical residues. These pebbles are compatible with all Biorb aquariums and most standard glass or acrylic tanks. To maintain their look, remove the stones during your routine water change every two to four weeks. Use a soft-bristled brush if necessary to gently scrub away any accumulated algae, then rinse and return them to the tank.
