WIO Nano Rocks - Elderly

WIO Elderly Nano Stone brings rare wabi-sabi character, distinctive cracking patterns, and rugged ancient texture to nano scale — an igneous stone with intricate cracks and crevices that resemble ice or snow, perfectly sized for Iwagumi nano compositions and high rocky nano formations.

Elderly Nano Stone carries the same unique cracked texture and brownish-to-grey coloration as the full-size Elderly Stone — a top-selling and highly sought-after stone revered for its striking "cracking" pattern crafted by nature over time. Each piece is unique, making it a great choice for aquascaping enthusiasts looking to add character and personality to their nano aquarium or terrarium. The rugged texture and cracks create a sense of wabi-sabi that is deeply enhanced even at nano scale.

Sized between 3 and 10 cm, ideal for nano tanks under 40L. May raise pH and hardness slightly; regular water changes are enough to keep hardness under control. Pre-washed and ready to use.
