Description
WIO Grey Fossil Stone Nano Rock brings rare metallic elegance, glittering depth, and sophisticated monolithic forms to nano scale — a highly metamorphic rock with bands of blocky crystals and a striking metallic grey surface that creates remarkable contrast with plants, perfectly sized for nano compositions.
Grey Fossil Stone Nano Rock carries the same sophisticated character as the full-size Grey Fossil Stone — a gneiss metamorphic rock containing bands of blocky crystals like feldspar alternated with flat, plate-like mica minerals representing some of the most advanced stages of metamorphosis. Its metallic grey surface has a distinctive glittering effect that catches aquarium lighting beautifully, creating an ever-changing visual display. Even at nano scale, the monolithic forms create an excellent sense of depth and high impact.
Sized between 3 and 10 cm, ideal for nano tanks under 40L. May slightly raise pH and water hardness; regular water changes keep hardness under control. Pre-washed and ready to use.
