Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before placing the Rum Barrel Cave into your habitat, gently rinse it with warm water to remove any dust from packaging. Do not use soap or harsh chemical detergents, as these can leave toxic residues that are harmful to fish and amphibians. For aquarium use, bury the edges slightly into the gravel or sand if you want a more integrated, sunken look, or leave it atop the substrate for easier removal during deep cleaning sessions. When performing routine maintenance, simply lift the barrel and wipe it down with a clean, damp cloth or soft-bristled brush to prevent algae buildup. It is compatible with standard aquarium water conditioners and does not affect pH or mineral levels.
