Carved Tufa Rock
Carved Tufa Rock is a lightweight, highly porous limestone hand-carved with openings, ready to use as caves, planting pockets, or mounting points. Because tufa naturally buffers pH and hardness upward, it is a favorite for African cichlid and marine aquariums.
Size Options
- Small (1 Hole): a single carved opening, great for nano caves and accents.
- Large (3 Hole): multiple openings for bigger caves and centerpieces, sold each.
