Product Information

Full details

Dragon Rock Aquascaping Stones are the premier choice for aquascapers and terrarium hobbyists who want to create highly detailed, naturalistic hardscapes like mountain ranges or cliff faces. These rugged, naturally sculpted stones provide unparalleled visual depth and texture to any tank, though users should be prepared for the fact that each box is a random assortment, meaning you cannot hand-pick the exact shapes for a specific design.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these stones safe for all freshwater fish?

Yes, Dragon Rock is inert and will not leach harmful chemicals into your aquarium water.

Can I choose the stones in my box?

No, the 20kg boxes are supplied as a randomized assortment to ensure a natural variety of shapes and sizes.

Will these rocks change my water pH?

Dragon Rock is generally inert and should not significantly affect your pH levels in most aquarium setups.

How do I remove trapped clay from the crevices?

Use a pressurized water spray or a dedicated scrubbing brush to dislodge clay from the deepest parts of the rock before adding them to your tank.

Is this rock suitable for saltwater tanks?

This product is primarily intended for freshwater and terrarium use; it is not recommended for marine environments.

Can I stack these rocks to make high walls?

Yes, but ensure they are securely bonded with aquarium-safe adhesive to prevent collapses that could damage your tank.

Troubleshooting

Water appears cloudy after initial installation

This is likely residual sediment. Perform a partial water change and ensure the filter is running to remove suspended particles.

Stone is slipping or unstable during hardscape construction

Use aquarium-safe silicone or specialized aquarium adhesive to bond rocks together for a secure, permanent structure.

Algae growth on stone surfaces

Use a soft brush to scrub the rocks during routine water changes or introduce algae-eating snails or shrimp to help maintain the aesthetic.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Incredible natural texture that is difficult to replicate
  • Chemically inert and safe for freshwater fish
  • Provides excellent anchors for mosses and epiphytes
  • Creates a professional-looking hardscape with minimal effort
  • Suitable for both aquatic and dry terrarium environments

Cons

  • Box contents are randomized, limiting control over specific stone shapes
  • Requires thorough cleaning to remove clay or sediment before use
  • Stones can be heavy, requiring careful placement to avoid glass stress

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before adding Dragon Rock to your setup, you must thoroughly rinse each stone under warm water. Because these rocks are naturally eroded, they often contain dried clay or sediment within their deep crevices that can cloud your water if not removed. Use a soft-bristled brush to reach deep into the craters. When placing the stones in a glass aquarium, consider laying down a thin layer of protective foam or a substrate barrier to prevent the heavy, jagged edges from putting too much pressure on the bottom glass pane. These stones are suitable for all freshwater setups; however, they may slightly increase the hardness of the water in very soft-water systems, so monitor your tank parameters during the initial cycle.
