Description

Elderly Stone by WIO is a highly sought-after type of stone for aquascaping due to its distinctive texture and striking “cracked pattern”. Elderly Stone is also known on the market as Frodo Stone, Ancient Stone or European Manten Stone and is highly valued. Its unique characteristics include complex, deep fissures in partly geometric forms, as well as crevices and cracks reminiscent of ice or snow, giving the stone a truly unique appearance.

The colour ranges from brownish to grey, with larger pieces displaying a strong character that defines the atmosphere of the layout. The rugged texture and cracks create a sense of Wabi-Sabi and make it perfect for Iwagumi-style layouts and tall rock formations.

Elderly Stone can also be ideally combined with wood to achieve a very natural look. Each piece is unique, making it an excellent choice for aquascaping enthusiasts who want to add character and personality to their aquarium or terrarium.

Elderly Stone may slightly increase pH and water hardness and is therefore suitable for aquariums with soft water conditions. Its versatility, uniqueness and striking appearance make this type of rock a popular choice among both hobbyists and professionals.

Note

These stone sets are untreated natural products. They can be used in both aquariums and terrariums. It is recommended to clean the stones before use and rinse them under running water. This helps remove fine dust particles that could otherwise cause cloudiness when setting up an aquarium. Small residues of moss or lichen cannot be completely ruled out.
The sets are pre-packed before reaching Aquasabi and cannot be opened or modified.

Product Safety

Caution: risk of swallowing

Warnings:

Risk of mechanical injury if dropped. Handle with care.
Dust may temporarily irritate eyes and skin. Avoid contact and rinse with water if necessary.
Small fragments may be swallowed by children or pets. Keep out of reach.

General information:

Calcareous stones may increase pH and KH levels in the water. Especially in soft water or sensitive aquariums, regularly check pH and KH values.
Rinse thoroughly before use and place slowly into the aquarium. Fine mechanical filtration may be necessary for 24 to 48 hours to remove dust and cloudiness.
Stones should be positioned directly on the tank base or on a foam mat before adding substrate. Avoid point loads. When stacking, use glue or aquarium putty for stability.
Do not throw stones. Place carefully to avoid damage or injury. Keep away from children and pets.
Store dry and in the original packaging. Avoid breakage during transport. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Handling instructions:

Preparation: Rinse stones thoroughly with clean water. Do not use cleaning agents.
Placement: Position on a stable surface. If necessary, wedge or secure with suitable adhesive. Then add substrate.
Filling the aquarium: Pour water slowly over a plate or plastic sheet to avoid disturbing the layout.
Monitoring: Regularly measure pH and KH values during the first weeks, especially when using calcareous stones or in aquariums with soft water.
