LAVA RINGS - BY MICHKIO SHEN SHOP

Aquarium Lava Rings are porous, ring-shaped pieces of volcanic rock designed for use in fish tanks, usually as: Biological filter media – placed in canister filters or sumps. Decorative elements – natural-looking decor for aquascapes. Key Benefits Excellent biological filtration The porous surface allows beneficial bacteria to colonize, helping to break down harmful ammonia and nitrite into less toxic nitrate. pH Neutral or Slightly Alkaline Most lava rock is inert and won’t affect pH significantly, though it’s good to test it if your tank requires specific water chemistry. Durable & Long-lasting Doesn’t break down easily and can be reused after cleaning. Natural Aesthetic Offers a rugged, volcanic look that blends well in both freshwater and some marine tanks. Common Uses In canister filters, HOB filters, or sump systems as bio-media. As part of hardscape in planted tanks or aquascapes. In shrimp tanks, as they provide hiding spots and good biofilm surfaces.
