Reef Crest Elephant Stone Rock - 1lb

Overview

Also known as Elephant Skin Stone, this heavily textured gray-tan rock brings a weathered mountain look to nature and iwagumi layouts. Deep creases and dimples create shadow, depth, and perfect anchor points for epiphyte plants.

Features

• Distinct cracked texture that reads like ancient cliff faces
• Stable, dense pieces for gravity-stacked hardscapes
• Great grip for Anubias, Bucephalandra, Java Fern, and mosses
• Color deepens when wet for high contrast against bright plants

Preparation and Use

Rinse and scrub to remove dust from creases. Dry-fit your layout, then secure tall stacks with gel cyanoacrylate or stone-safe epoxy. Always place stones on glass before adding substrate to distribute weight safely.

Water Chemistry and Compatibility

Elephant Stone can modestly harden water depending on batch. Monitor GH and KH for soft-water species or shrimp and consider buffering substrates or RO blends if needed.
