Japanese Floral Reef
This aquarium uses hardscape, flora and fauna native to Japan. Dragon rock, also known as Ohko rock, is a sedimentary rock formed from compressed clay. Is is layed out in one direction as it naturally forms and can be pointed to create a focal point.
Mountains in the Distance
This aquarium was scaped for a customer who wanted a nano Iwagumi layout. It is used to show a mountain range. Elephant skin stone was used as it is highly detailed to show crevices in mountains and looks better with age as algae grows over some spaces.
Revived in a Terrarium
This terrarium was scaped for a client and planted with rare and exotic tissue culture plants. A single piece of Mopani wood was dressed up with epiphytes, liverwort and moss to give it age and interest. It shows that just one piece of hardscape can be used to make a complex looking environment.
Our Products
Mopani Wood
Mopani wood is a bold piece of hardscape with intricate details that can be arranges to create a sense of flow in an aquascape.

River Gravel
River gravel comes in 1-2mm grain size and is completely natural without altering water hardness and pH. It has different shades of brown that look great in riverbed designs.
Spider Wood
Spider wood is commonly used in aquascapes to resemble roots or branches. Based on the orientation it is positioned, it can be used to enhance a focal point or be the statement piece itself. In the beginning stages, it forms a biofilm rich in nutrients for scavengers and grazers to feed on.
Red Lava Rock
Red Lava rock can be a great way to introduce colour to an aquascape. It’s porous and lightweight – perfect for stacking and increasing microbe surface area.
Millet Yellow Sand

Dragon Stone
