Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I use this in a saltwater tank?
No, this ornament is specifically designed for freshwater use and may degrade or negatively affect water chemistry in saltwater environments.
Is the paint safe for my fish?
Yes, the product is crafted with aquarium-safe materials that are non-toxic to freshwater fish.
How do I clean the tunnel?
Rinse with plain water or gently scrub with a soft brush during water changes. Do not use soaps or chemicals.
What size tank is this best for?
Due to its dimensions of 160mm x 110mm x 110mm, it is best suited for tanks that have enough footprint to accommodate the structure without overcrowding.
Will this sink automatically?
You may need to tilt it underwater to release any trapped air inside the tunnel to ensure it sits firmly on the substrate.
Troubleshooting
Ornament is floating in the tank
Ensure that all air is trapped inside the tunnel by tilting it underwater until bubbles escape; once filled with water, it will sink to the bottom.
Algae growth on the surface
Remove the ornament during your next partial water change and gently wipe it down with a soft-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before adding the ornament to your aquarium, rinse it thoroughly under lukewarm water to remove any dust or particles from packaging. Do not use soap or chemical detergents, as these can be toxic to fish. The tunnel is compatible with all freshwater setups, including tropical heaters and coldwater filters. For ongoing care, periodically remove the ornament during water changes and gently scrub it with a soft brush to remove algae buildup. Avoid abrasive scouring pads that might scratch the hand-painted surface or damage the aesthetic finish.
