Lifegard Canyon Petrified Stone - 44 Lbs Box (Large Size)
Monolithic Fossils: High-Impact Natural Architecture
Transform your aquarium into a scene from a prehistoric canyon with the Lifegard Canyon Petrified Stone. This 44 lb box of large-sized stones features massive, heavy pieces of genuine wood that has mineralized over millions of years. These large boulders serve as the ultimate anchors for your hardscape, offering a unique blend of organic tree-like textures and the permanence of solid rock.
Canyon Petrified Stone stands out for its warm, natural color palette of sandy tans, rustic oranges, and deep browns. Because these are large pieces, they showcase the most dramatic examples of fossilized bark and internal wood grain, providing a stunning visual contrast to lush green aquatic plants.

Usage Recommendations: Canyon Petrified Stone is largely inert and has a minimal impact on water parameters, making it suitable for a wide variety of aquatic life. To ensure the best look and water clarity, we recommend rinsing the stones thoroughly with fresh water before placing them in your aquarium to remove any shipping dust.
Setup Tip: When working with large boulders, place them in the tank first (using a protective eggcrate or foam mat under the rock) before adding your substrate. This ensures the stones are resting on the bottom glass for maximum stability, especially if you have fish that like to dig.
Build a Complete Landscape: Create a sense of realistic geological scale by pairing these large focal boulders with Lifegard Canyon Petrified Stone Medium and Small boxes for your transitions and detail work.
