Inspired by the cold glacier waters of Lake McDonald in the USA.
One of our favourites! This kit includes our Glacier Biotope Bed, a truly natural blend of gravel and pebbles, inspired by the mountain lakes of North America. This richly coloured and engaging substrate is perfect for rheophilic or lentic biotopes or for adding detail and gradients to aquascapes. Also included is a carefully chosen selection of beautiful McDonald Lake Boulders. These richly coloured, smooth, and diverse stones offer a selection of cool greys, warm ochre reds, soft yellows and burnished orange deliver a striking, yet visually soft aesthetic and are perfect for suggesting the rushing dynamics of a flowing stream or the gentle, lapping shores of a mountain lake. Finally, we include our Wetland Artist Dark substrate, ideal for supporting lush plant growth and which adds contrast to the brighter stones while combining with the dark gravels.
Components:
Plant substrate – Wetland Artist ‘Dark’
Biotope Bed - Glacier
Principle hardscape – McDonald Lake Boulder
Secondary hardscape – Nano Rock: McDonald Lake Boulder
Inspired by Pool Malebo in Congo, Africa.
This Kit contains our Mere Biotope Bed, which offers an organic, warm, and interesting dynamic to your display. Inspired by the mellow sands and forest debris found in the mighty Pool Malebo of the Congo River in Africa, it contains warm-coloured sand, small stones and gravel and pieces of woody material. Also included are pieces of our Bumblebee Stone, which offers shades of grey, and a slight granite feel, with darker patches and scars on the face of the stone. This kit is perfect for mimicking the habitats of deltas, lakes, and lagoons, where organic material has been deposited by currents and floods. Finally, we include our Wetland Artist Mustard substrate, ideal for supporting lush plant growth and which blends harmoniously with the colours of the display.
Components:
Plant substrate – Wetland Artist ‘Mustard’
