Paleo Nano Stone

Paleo Nano Stone is a unique sedimentary stone whose porous, lightweight structure is etched with ancient fossil patterns-visible tunnels, textures, and organic imprints that whisper stories of long-lost ecosystems. With its warm, earthy palette-ranging from brownish reds to soft whites-it adds a sense of wonder, history, and natural charm to small-scale aquatic or terrestrial designs.

Highly porous and rich in minerals, Paleo Nano Stone promotes beneficial bacteria colonization while gently elevating pH and hardness. It’s an ideal choice for species that thrive in alkaline conditions, including African cichlids, brackish species, and certain marine environments.

Sized between 3 and 10 cm, these pre-washed stones are perfect for intricate compositions in tanks under 40 L, where visual storytelling and water health are both essential. Whether used to build fossil-rich mounds, accentuate ancient themes, or support microbial life, Paleo Nano Stone brings beauty and biological value in equal measure.

• Color: Warm brownish, reddish, and whitish natural tones.
• Nano Scale: Sized ≈ 3–10 cm, ideal for tanks under 40 L / 10 gal.
• Fossil Texture: Marked with ancient shapes, tunnels, and natural imprints.
• Porous Structure: Encourages beneficial bacteria growth.
• Mineral-Rich: Gently raises pH and hardness-great for alkaline species.
• Pre-Washed: Clean and ready to use, no soaking required.
• Safe: Suitable for fish, shrimp, amphibians, and reptiles.
• Water Chemistry: Calcareous-monitor in soft water systems.
• Versatile Use: Perfect for aquariums, terrariums, paludariums, and vivariums.
• Packaging: 1.5 kg bag with mixed-size stones.
• Pairing Tip: Combine with Paleo Stone, dry roots, and warm-toned sands for ancient biotope layouts. Add WIO Accents Brown for transitions.

• Preparation
  – Rinse briefly to remove any transport dust.
  – Pre-washed, ready for direct use.
  
   
• Placement Tips
  – Use larger pieces to anchor the layout; layer porous fragments for fossil detail.
  – Place over substrate or WIO LandForm, avoid direct contact with glass.
  – Create elevation and story by clustering around roots or cave-like openings.
  – Secure with WIO ScapeGlue with FuseColor for stable builds.
  
   
• Layout Ideas
  – Ideal for biotopes, fossil-inspired aquascapes, and marine nano reefs.
  – Use in alkaline setups to support pH balance and bacterial health.
  – Great for vivariums or terrariums seeking ancient or desert themes.
  
   
• Maintenance Ideas
  – During cleaning, gently use WIO cleaning tools to lift any debris from stone surfaces.
  – Control any alterations in pH and kH by regular water changes with osmotic or soft water, or by using WIO water treatments.
   

Notes
– Each bag contains a unique mix-expect natural variation in fossil patterns, tone, and porosity.
– May raise water hardness-monitor in systems with sensitive species.
