WIO Nano Rocks - Storm
6 Bags per Box. Each Bag is 2kg (4.4lbs)
Storm Nano Stone captures a scene mid-weather - jagged, deeply fissured faces in charcoal-grey to near-black, as if carved by wind and rain rather than water. At nano scale, that same brooding drama that makes full-size Storm Stone a centerpiece translates into sharp, high-contrast accents perfect for small, detailed layouts.
Sized for precision work in tanks under 40 L, each piece carries the same fractured, storm-worn character - deep clefts that hold shadow, mineral edges that catch light. Use it to build a miniature cliff face, punctuate a nano Iwagumi with a dark anchor stone, or scatter smaller fragments as scree beneath larger hardscape.
Each rock is 100% natural, pre-washed, and safe for aquatic and terrestrial environments.
- Color: Deep charcoal-grey to near-black, with jagged mineral fracturing.
- Nano Scale: Sized approx. 3-10 cm, tailored for tanks under 40 L / 10 gal.
- Texture: Sharp, deeply fissured faces with strong shadow and high visual contrast.
- Natural Harmony: Pairs beautifully with pale sand (Heaven, Vik Iceland) for contrast, or dark riverbed for a moodier, low-light biotope feel.
- Ready to Use: Pre-washed and clean - a quick rinse is optional to clear transit dust.
- Safe: Safe for fish, shrimp, and sensitive species.
- Water Chemistry: Inert - won't affect pH or hardness.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for aquariums, terrariums, paludariums, and bowls.
- Packaging: 2 kg (4.4lbs) bag with mixed-size stones.
- Matching: Pairs with full-size Storm Stone for consistent scaling across a layout.
- Pairing Tip: Combine with driftwood and fine-leaf plants to soften the drama without diluting the storm-carved structure.
Usage
-
Preparation
- Rinse briefly to remove any transport dust.
- No soaking needed, pre-cleaned and dust-free. -
Placement Tips
- Set the tallest or most jagged piece first as your anchor.
- Echo its fracture angles with supporting stones to keep the composition coherent.
- Place over substrate, avoid direct contact with bare glass.
- Use WIO ScapeGlue and FuseColor for secure, natural-looking layouts.
- Always test stability in livestock tanks. -
Layout Ideas
- Nano Iwagumi with a single dramatic anchor stone.
- Miniature storm-cliff scenes with half-buried scree fragments.
- High-contrast pairing with pale sand for a bold, minimalist look. -
Maintenance Ideas
- Gently brush stone faces with WIO cleaning tools to lift algae or debris from the deep crevices.
- No special water treatment required - Storm Nano Stone is chemically inert.
Notes
- Each bag contains a unique mix - expect natural variation in shape, tone, and texture.
