Product Information
Full details
The Aqua One Round Cave is an ideal aquarium accessory for aquarists looking to provide their fish with a secure, natural-looking shelter in both freshwater and saltwater tanks. Its key benefit lies in the dual-entry design that encourages natural behavior and reduces stress, though potential buyers should note that the large 19 x 17 x 12.5 cm footprint requires a mid-to-large sized tank to accommodate effectively without overcrowding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before placing the cave in your aquarium, rinse it thoroughly under warm tap water to remove any dust from shipping. Do not use soap or harsh chemical detergents. For stability, place the cave directly on the bottom glass of the tank before adding substrate, or ensure it is buried securely in deep sand or gravel to prevent the structure from shifting if fish dig underneath it. To clean, simply remove the cave during your regular water change and scrub away any algae buildup with a soft-bristled brush or an dedicated aquarium sponge.
