Ash Stone is a versatile natural stone that brings a sense of tranquility and realism to any underwater environment. Featuring a sophisticated palette of soft gray and tan tones, this stone boasts a smooth surface texture accented by intricate, creased detailing that adds significant depth and character to your hardscape. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Ash Stone is highly functional; it features natural holes ranging from 1" to 3" in size, providing perfect hiding spots for shrimp and small fish, or serving as a secure foundation for anchoring aquatic plants. Ash Stone is also suitable for non-aquarium use and will work beautifully as a weathered accent in terrariums, paludariums, or similar bioactive enclosures.
Stones vary in shape, size, and density. On average, pieces will range from 3-10 inches.

Gorgeous, complex stone
"I ordered the Ash Stone, because the example photos caught my eye and I thought the cave-like features could create some interesting possibilities for plants and/or animals. I was not disappointed. The two stones I received are a bit on the bigger side and I suspect that Ash Stone is better suited for a larger aquascape, but I played around with it and figured out a pleasing stacked arrangement for my smaller cube (30C). The color tones of the stone range from a light brown to a dark grey with some white veins running through it. There looks to be some crystalline structures inside of the caves, as well. My preliminary testing is that Ash Stone is not inert – I soaked the pieces in a 5 gallon bucket for a week and saw increases from 9 to 10 dGH and 4 to 5 dKH. The stone also reacted with vinegar, so there's definitely some carbonate in this stone."
Q&A
- Any updates on whether Ash Stone is inert or should some pH increase with added KH be expected?
- Hello Joshua, Thank you for the question. All the current information we have available for the specific type of hardscape is listed on the product description but as of now we cannot guarantee any hardscape to be inert unless otherwise specified on the description. Kind Regards -Team Buce Plant
- What is the pH effect of this rock on the water?
- Hello, Holly! We just added this stone to our collection, we haven’t done testing yet to 100% guarantee that ash stones are inert. If you're looking for 100% inert, Hakkai or Lava would be good choices. Please let us know if there is anything else that we can assist you with.
