Usage Instructions

1. Rinse Before Use: Rinse the lava rocks thoroughly with clean water to remove loose dust and debris.
2. For Aquarium Use: Add to the aquarium as a substrate component or place in a suitable filter compartment where water can flow through the media.
3. For Terrarium Use: Use as a drainage layer where appropriate, with suitable mesh separation and substrate layers according to your plants' requirements.
4. Monitor Water Conditions: When introducing new materials into an aquarium, monitor water parameters and observe livestock for any unusual reactions.

Important: Lava rocks have an irregular, potentially rough surface. Check the material before use, particularly in habitats containing delicate fish, bottom-dwelling species or animals that burrow. For terrariums, ensure the drainage setup is suitable for the plants and humidity requirements of the enclosure.
