Red Lava Rock per LB (5cm-15cm)

Red Lava Rock per LB (5cm-15cm)

Red lava rock is a porous volcanic stone commonly used in aquariums, aquascaping, and biological filtration setups. It’s lightweight, inert, and safe for both freshwater and marine systems.


Key Benefits

 Inert & Aquarium-Safe

  • Doesn’t raise pH or hardness.
  • Safe for planted tanks, shrimp, community fish, cichlids, and aquascapes.

 Highly Porous

  • Excellent surface area for beneficial bacteria colonization.
  • Helps maintain stable biological filtration.

 Great for Plants & Aquascaping

  • Ideal for:
    • Creating terraces and elevations
    • Use as a base layer for planting
    • Anchoring epiphytes (Anubias, Buce, Java Fern)
  • Root systems grip easily due to its texture.

 Lightweight

  • Easy to stack
  • Less stress on glass compared to heavier stones

Rinsing Required

  • Rinse repeatedly — lava rock holds dust deep in its pores.
