Chik Rock Stack Ornament RR950

he Chik Rock Stack Ornament (Model RR950) is a high-quality resin aquarium decoration designed to mimic natural slate or stone formations. It is a popular choice for aquarists looking to create a “Zen” or rugged riverbed aesthetic without the weight and pH-altering risks of real heavy rocks.

Product Overview

• Design: Features a vertical stack of flat, smooth stones (resembling river pebbles or slate). The “RR” in the model number typically stands for “Resin Rock.”

• Dimensions: While specific measurements can vary by production batch, the RR950 is generally a medium-sized ornament, typically standing around 15–20 cm tall.

• Safety: Made from non-toxic, fish-safe resin that does not leach chemicals into the water or affect the water’s hardness/pH.

Key Features

• Hiding Spots: The “stacked” design often includes small crevices and gaps between the stones, providing essential hiding spots for smaller fish, shrimp, or fry.

• Stability: Designed with a weighted base to ensure it remains stable on the aquarium substrate (sand or gravel) and won’t tip over due to water flow or curious fish.

• Versatility: Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater setups. It is particularly effective in Betta tanks or Cichlid tanks where visual barriers are needed to reduce territorial aggression.

• Maintenance-Friendly: Unlike natural porous rocks, the smooth resin surface is relatively easy to scrub clean of algae using a soft brush and plain aquarium water.

Ideal Usage

• Aquascaping: Works well as a focal point in the middle or background of a 20L to 60L tank.

• Terrariums: Because it is waterproof and durable, it is also frequently used in reptile or amphibian enclosures (e.g., for geckos or small snakes) as a climbing structure.

Quick Tip: Before placing any new resin ornament into your tank, always rinse it thoroughly in a bucket of dechlorinated water to remove any dust or debris from packaging. Avoid using soap or detergents, as these are toxic to aquatic life.
