Ilford Kamienie Black washed stones 30–50 mm for aquarium and terrarium, 10 kg pack

Ilford Kamienie Black washed stones 30–50 mm are decorative natural stones supplied in a 10 kg pack, designed for use in aquariums and terrariums. The stones have a washed surface to reduce dust and fine particles, making them suitable as a substrate layer, hardscape element, or shelter for aquatic and terrestrial animals. Their natural black tone helps create contrast with plants and organisms and supports realistic landscape compositions.

Advantages

The washed finish minimizes clouding of water and prevents excess detritus, reducing the need for frequent water changes after initial placement. Stones sized 30–50 mm are large enough to remain stable under plants and decorations while providing hiding places for small animals. Being natural stone, they do not leach artificial dyes, and their neutral appearance complements a variety of aquarium and terrarium styles.

How to use

Rinse the stones briefly under running water before placing them in the aquarium or terrarium to remove any remaining loose particles. Distribute the stones to create the desired substrate depth or hardscape structure; use larger stones for stable foundations and smaller ones for surface coverage. When used in aquariums, position stones so water flow and filtration are not obstructed. In terrariums, arrange stones to form pathways, basking areas, or shelters while ensuring adequate ventilation and drainage.

Usage recommendations

For aquariums, perform an initial partial water change after installation if you observe minor clouding. Avoid using the stones in setups with sensitive water chemistry species without testing for pH or mineral changes first. Combine with appropriate substrate and plants to achieve stable planting and natural aesthetics.
