Product Information

Coloring

Each item has been designed with our revolutionary flexible material, therefore allowing you to install into new or existing tanks with ease.

Depending on your requirements, you may order any of the products with or without structure foam on the backside which makes the item rigid. These foamed backed items however, have been created predominately for reptile enclosures and are NOT suitable for aquariums as they can give off toxins in the water, making it unsafe for the fish.

All products are made only in the Arizona color within mainland USA. This coloring will vary as they are all individually hand colored using crushed rock, sand and oxides. No paints are used in is this totally realistic process.

Maintenance

Our products can be washed and scrubbed down with a stiff brush and appropriate cleaning agents not harmful to fish life.

We recommend you do all small trial of your cleaning agent in a inconspicuous area of your rock to make sure it does not dis-colour the rocks surface. We suggest that you wash your new rock before installing into your tank.

Installation Guide

• To Secure your background in place simply use an Aquarium grade silcone adhesive and apply to the back of your background on the areas that protrude the most and touch the back of the enclosure. Prop in place until silcone dries.
• To secure to wood, you can screw through the background into the wooden enclosure. Screw into inconspicuous areas of the rock formation. The screw head can then be camouflaged, using a dob of silicone and then matching sand sprinkled into it.

All products can be hand cut. This gives you the ability to tailor make our products to your needs.

• Aquarium Background of certain style can be cut down to suit smaller tank.
• Rock can be cut to allow your animal to crawl or swim into for hiding etc.
• Cut to fit squarely into a corner.
• Cut at different angles so that no 2 rocks look the same.
  
  If alterations are required the following tools may be useful:
  
• A sharp rigid blade/kitchen butcher's knife or a small toothed hand/jig saw.
• Set square and marker - pencil, chalk etc.
• Tape measure to ensure you cut the correct placew and angle.

• Sometimes pebbles maybe used to help weigh Aqua Rocks and Backgrounds into position. Simply place them on or push against certain parts on the rocks and backgrounds.
• Small lights inside or behind certain rocks can create a beautiful effect.
  Small water pumps can be used to create waterfalls running over any of the rocks. Just drill a hole in the desired place a put a pipe in from the outlet back to the pump.
