Hardscape is the term for decorative natural materials such as stones or wood. They are the "bones" of any aquascape design.
We are happy to announce a huge restock on many hardscapes these last two weeks. We got in a massive shipment of Spiderwood, Hakkai Stone, Seiryu Stone and the highly coveted Manzanita Driftwood from aquascape legend, Dr. Tom Barr.
Our most exciting and anticipated shipment was the Manzanita from Tom Barr. He trekked thousands of feet into higher elevation in a foot of snow to collect unique and rustic Manzanita show pieces you won't just find in your friend's countryside property. These intricate Manzy woods are one of a kind and have been aged for a while, giving any aquascape the instant aesthetics and "matured" look that'll be eye-catching!
1. Spiderwood
Spider Wood is the root of the Azalea plant. These unique pieces are very versatile and will give any aquascaper the ability to mimic and recreate a riverbank or submerged forest right in their own fish tank. With all its roots, it'll be easy to create a bonsai tree or any other natural looking environment.
2. Hakkai Stone Hakkai stone is one premium dark bluish-green river stone that has a smooth surface and irregular holes that look like it's been "bug-eaten," hence the name Mushi Gui, as they call it the "bug eaten stone". The unique "bug-eaten" holes are caused by the force of nature as strong water currents hit the stone consistently over an extended period of time. This Hakkai Stone comes in a variety of sizes ranging from about 3" to about 12". An inert stone that will not affect your tank' parameters.
3. Seiryu Stone This is one of the most popular rocks for aquascaping. These hardscape rocks were introduced by Takashi Amano when he brought the Iwagumi style of aquascape into the hobby. Also known as Minilandschaft or Ryuoh Stone.
4. Tom Barr's Manzanita Driftwood Thomas Barr's Signature Hand-Collected Manzanita Driftwood If you're a fan of Manzanita Wood, then you know the natural beauty and versatility of its usage.
Not only popular in the planted tank and aquascape hobbyist crowd but you can find these gorgeous pieces of driftwood in weddings and popular among the interior design group as you can find them in offices, restaurants or homes as they complement a nicely designed interior very well!
