These vidaXL volcanic rocks are ideal for aquarium enthusiasts and landscapers looking to enhance their environment with a 100% natural, multi-functional material. They provide a striking red aesthetic and act as a biological filter for fish tanks, though their porous texture can trap debris, requiring periodic maintenance to prevent buildup.

No, these are 100% natural volcanic rocks that are chemically inert and will not affect your water's pH or chemistry.
Yes, they are suitable for both fresh and saltwater aquarium environments.
It is not required to soak them, but you must rinse them thoroughly to remove surface dust before placement.
While the rocks are natural, they can be sharp. If you have delicate bottom-dwellers like certain species of corydoras, ensure the rocks are not placed where the fish frequently forage.
The coverage depends on the depth of the layer; generally, 10 kg is sufficient to create a feature in a medium-sized aquarium or a small decorative border in a garden.
This is likely residual dust from transport. Remove the rocks, rinse thoroughly under running water until clear, and perform a partial water change.
Use a soft brush or a gentle siphon during routine cleaning to dislodge trapped organic matter from the surface.
Before adding the rocks to your aquarium, it is critical to rinse them thoroughly under cold running water to remove any loose volcanic dust or small particulates from transport. When placing them in an aquarium, ensure they are stable and not resting against the glass in a way that could cause pressure cracks. In landscaping, these can be placed directly onto landscape fabric or soil. To maintain their appearance, occasionally rinse the rocks in a bucket of tank water (never tap water, to protect the bacteria) if debris accumulates in the pores. If used in a garden, a simple spray with a hose is sufficient to clean them.
