Acid Washed Seiryu Stones
Iconic Beauty for Stunning Iwagumi Aquascapes!
Acid Washed Seiryu Stones bring a refined, slate-blue limestone aesthetic to your aquarium, featuring crisp white calcite veins and a textured, cliff-like structure. Sourced from mountain quarries and acid-washed to enhance color and clarity, these stones are perfect for creating award-winning Iwagumi layouts in hard-water freshwater setups and terrariums.
Key Features:
-
Premium Seiryu Stone: Sourced from mountain quarries, showcasing a slate-blue hue with distinctive white calcite veins.
-
Acid-Washed Finish: Intensifies blue-grey tones, sharpens contrasts, and removes dust for a clean, vibrant look.
-
Textured Ridges & Jagged Faces: Mimics natural cliff formations, adding dramatic depth to aquascapes.
-
Natural Buffering: Calcareous limestone gently raises pH, KH, and GH, ideal for hard-water species like African cichlids, livebearers, and Caridina shrimp.
-
Hand-Rinsed & Ready: Minimal debris, requiring toy for soft-water fish or high-tech plants. Rinse thoroughly and monitor water parameters regularly.
Why Choose Acid Washed Seiryu Stones?
These stones offer a refined, dramatic aesthetic with deep color and striking veining, perfect for iconic Iwagumi layouts. Their robust structure allows stable, tall rock stacks without adhesives, and their natural buffering supports hard-water species, while providing a stunning contrast for bright green plant carpets like Hemianthus or Monte Carlo.
