Lifegard Pagoda Crema Textured Stone - 44 Lbs Box (Medium Size)
Architectural Precision: The Foundation of Stratified Landscapes
Lifegard Pagoda Crema Textured Stone is a premier choice for aquascapers seeking a balance of structural geometry and natural warmth. Named for its distinctive horizontal, shelf-like layering that resembles the tiered roofs of traditional pagodas, this stone adds immediate sophistication to any aquarium. This 44 lb box of medium-sized stones provides substantial structural pieces perfect for establishing the midground and primary formations of your layout.
The "Crema" variety stands out with its elegant color palette, blending soft creams, warm tans, and light ochre highlights. These bright, earthy tones provide a refreshing alternative to traditional gray stones, helping to illuminate the aquarium and provide a high-contrast backdrop for dark green plants and colorful fish.
Key Features:
-
Distinct Layered Structure: Features pronounced horizontal "shelves" and ridges that mimic natural geological strata formed over millennia.
-
Warm Crema Colorway: A sophisticated mix of cream and tan tones that adds a clean, light-filled aesthetic to your hardscape.
-
Medium Scale Versatility: Perfectly sized for 20-gallon to 40-gallon tanks as primary stones, or as secondary structural elements in larger displays.
-
100% Natural & Inert: Safe for all aquatic life; it will not significantly alter water chemistry, making it ideal for high-tech planted tanks and shrimp colonies.

Multi-Dimensional Texture: The rough, tiered surface offers numerous attachment points for mosses, Anubias, and Bucephalandra.
Aquascaping Applications:
-
Stratified Formations: Stack these medium pieces to create the appearance of a massive, weathered cliff face or a canyon wall with continuous horizontal lines.
-
Terraced Planting: The flat, shelf-like surfaces are ideal for creating "steps" of aquatic moss or securing epiphytic plants to create a vertical forest effect.

Preparation & Cleaning: Like all natural decorative stones, we recommend rinsing the Pagoda Crema stones thoroughly in fresh water before placement to remove any dust accumulated during transit. To emphasize its unique architectural look, try to align the horizontal grain of all stones in your layout in the same direction.
Setup Tip: To maximize the visual impact of Pagoda Crema, use a dark substrate such as black volcanic sand or active soil. The dark base will emphasize the stones' light cream colors and make the intricate horizontal shadows between the layers stand out.
Complete Your Geological Vision: Combine these medium stones with Lifegard Pagoda Crema Textured Stone Small for intricate detail work and Large stones for monumental focal points.
