Troubleshooting
Ornament is floating or unstable
Ensure the ornament is placed on a flat, stable surface on the aquarium substrate. For very light ornaments, a small amount of aquarium-safe gravel can be placed inside if there is a cavity.
Color fading over time
While designed for longevity, some fading can occur with prolonged UV exposure. Ensure aquarium lights are not excessively strong or directly on the ornament for extended periods. Consistent water parameters also help maintain the ornament's appearance.
Algae or debris accumulation
Gently scrub the ornament with a soft brush or sponge in aquarium water during a water change. Avoid using tap water or cleaning agents.
