Product Information
Full details
The Aqua One Ecoscape Green Ambulia is an ideal choice for aquarium enthusiasts looking to enhance their tank's aesthetic without the maintenance requirements of live aquatic plants. Standing at 20cm, this synthetic plant offers a realistic, feathery appearance that mimics natural Ambulia foliage while providing fish with a safe environment to explore. While it provides excellent depth and color to any aquascape, users should note that as a plastic ornament, it does not contribute to oxygenation or biological filtration like living plants do.

FAQs
Is this plant safe for saltwater tanks?
Yes, the Aqua One Ecoscape range is constructed from inert materials and is fully safe for use in saltwater marine aquariums.
Do I need to clean the plant regularly?
While it does not require maintenance like pruning, you should rinse it during your regular water changes to prevent excessive algae or detritus buildup.
Will this plant harm my fish's fins?
The plant is made of soft plastic designed to mimic natural flora and is safe for fish with delicate fins.
Does it need specific lighting?
No, because this is a synthetic decorative item, it does not require any specific light spectrums or intensity.
Can I use this in a tank with goldfish?
Absolutely. It is durable enough to withstand the nibbling habits of goldfish without breaking down or harming the fish.
Troubleshooting
The plant keeps floating to the surface.
Ensure the weighted base is buried deep enough in the substrate; if your gravel is too coarse, add more weight or place a small stone on top of the base.
Algae is covering the leaves.
Remove the plant from the tank and gently scrub the foliage with a soft, clean brush under running water to clear away algae.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the plant is straightforward: simply push the weighted base into your substrate until the plastic stem is hidden. If your substrate is loose, ensure you pack it firmly around the base to maintain stability. Compatibility is universal; the inert plastic is safe for delicate tropical species, goldfish, and saltwater inhabitants. To clean, remove the plant during routine tank maintenance and rinse it under warm tap water. If algae buildup occurs, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove deposits. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can leave residues that are harmful to your fish.
