IceCap Chicken Bone Stone for aquascaping

Setting the Aquascape's Tone: A Guide to IceCap Natural Stone

Hardscape sets the whole tone of an aquascape, and IceCap's natural stone lineup covers three distinct looks - sharp blue-gray, weathered chicken-bone texture, and copper-toned river rock.

Choosing a Stone

  • Seiryu Stone (44lbs) - a natural Japanese aquascaping stone known for its blue-gray coloring and sharp, jagged texture, a favorite for dramatic mountain-style aquascapes.
  • Chicken Bone Stone (44lbs) - a rough, light-brown natural rock covered in tiny holes and crevices reminiscent of a chicken bone, a distinctive textured alternative to smoother stone types.
  • Copper Stone (44lbs) - a natural copper-colored rock built for recreating the look of rivers, creeks, and streams in freshwater aquascapes.

Working With Natural Stone

  • Rinse thoroughly before adding to clear dust and loose debris that would otherwise cloud the water.
  • Check compatibility with your water chemistry - some natural stones can affect pH or hardness, so research your specific stone type if precise parameters matter for your livestock.
  • Build a stable structure from the base up, using larger pieces as anchors before adding smaller accent stones.
