Description
The Stone Sets McDonald Boulder by WIO consist of a combination of various rounded and marbled stones in rich pink-red tones. Their name pays homage to the largest lake in Glacier National Park in Montana, USA. These colourful boulders create a unique riverbed appearance in any aquascape or terrascape. With colours ranging from dark red to chestnut brown and from green to blue and black, they add a truly individual touch to any layout.
The colourful boulders of Lake McDonald owe their appearance to the iron content in the sedimentary rocks and the degree of oxidation. Over millions of years and under varying conditions, these stones were formed, resulting in the beautiful colours we see today. During the Ice Age, the rocks were ground down by massive glaciers into small colourful pebbles, which were then carried into the valley by meltwater streams.
The stone may slightly increase pH and water hardness, but regular water changes are sufficient to keep this under control. Each set always includes stones of different sizes along with smaller fragments to create visually appealing landscapes with depth.

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.
