Description

Dragon Stone is a desirable aquarium rock most often used in aquascaping planted aquariums.

A soft rock with incredible grooves and crevases created by mother nature. Often longer than they are wide they can be placed easily within a substrate.

Colours vary with shades of brown
Minimal effect on pH
Easy to place
Gives immediate impact to any aquarium

Dragon Stone has become very popular with iwagumi aquariums where the main focus is on the rocks and the plants complement the over all set up. World famous Aquascaper Oliver Knott uses these rocks with great effect in many of his set ups.

Hobbyists are often amazed at these aquarium rocks as their texture is unlike any other rock on the market making them very special. When placed in groups they have maximum effect and plants really complement them.

If you have a particular size, shape or style in mind, feel free to leave notes in the comments section when checking out and the picking team will try to match it as closely as possible. However please note a typical piece of Dragon Stone weighs approximately 2kgs.

Recommended Size Guide:

50L - 10kgs
100L - 20kgs

So if you're thinking 'Maybe I should' please do! You simply can't lose with these rocks.

I bought some to accompany some new driftwood in my tanks and it looks great. There was a variety of small, medium and large pieces and it was very easy to attach moss to. I'd suggest you rinse the rock thoroughly before placing in your tank though as there are a lot of loose bits and grit that hides in the crevices.

by Chris S. on 22/10/2019

Good size prices look great in my tank. They obviously need cleaning up before putting in aquarium. Plenty of holes and crevices for benificial bacteria to grow. Very satisfied

by Ben L. on 10/5/2019

Good variation of stones, which look fantastic. Got a fair few for my money as well. I would definitely recommend and shop here again

by Chris R. on 18/3/2019

by Doug F. on 24/1/2019

by Will D. on 12/8/2018

Hi i have a juwel rio 300, and im wondering how much i will need to order to have a few large pieces aswell as some medium and small?

Staff

10/16/2012 06:44:26

30kgs for a tank of your size. In that you would receive a fantastic mix of small, medium and large pieces :)

Guest

Hi guys, I'm looking for pieces pretty much like under this link https://www.aquascapingworld.com/threads/my-first-iwagumi-juwel-rio-125.4441/ Is there any way I could select or see the pieces first?

I want to create a Iwagumi scape for a 30 litre cube. How many will I need to order?

Staff

10/24/2012 11:48:42

We can probably arrange something like that for you - add 15kgs to your basket and leave a comment when chcecking out that you're after pieces similar to the link.

We cannot send pictures of what we pick for customers though - sorry

Staff

10/24/2012 11:49:24

For a 30L cube you would need 6kgs (approx)

I am interested in purchasing some of this rock and was wondering if you have any idea when this will be back in stock? Thanks

Staff

Not til January now

Guest

hi im wondering is the stones change the hardness of water?

Staff

02/13/2013 16:02:46

like most rocks, they increase the pH by adding minerals to the water - some more than others. But certainly not something that causes concern.

Guest

06/27/2013 03:59:54

My water is already between pH 7.8 and 8.0 which is already a little high. Will adding several pieces of this rock increase it further?

Staff

06/27/2013 06:46:03

A little but not much - why not use Superfish Peat Plus to reduce pH https://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/superfish-peat-plus-800ml-p-5318.html

Guest

I have a 45 gallon tank and would like to know witch i would need. Thanks

Staff

10/09/2013 08:18:47

depends what you are trying to achieve. Try 20kgs.

Guest

12/04/2013 13:52:27

hi I was just wondering the size(dimensions/diameter) of a 1kg piece of dragonstone as im trying to work out how much ill need, for what I want to create. thanks

Staff

12/04/2013 16:02:34

Hard to tell as you could have a fat rock which is 20x20cm or a long piece that is 30x5cm - both might weigh the same...

Guest

06/17/2014 16:07:51

When are you getting more of this in stock?I want to get 12kg of rock but I can't because there isn't enough in stock.

Staff

06/17/2014 16:53:32

Tomorrow :-)

Guest

Hi. How much would 3 pieces weight to do iwagumi in my rio 125? Thanks

Staff

07/08/2014 16:43:48

You would need a lot more than 3 pieces as the rock isn't that big. Try 20kgs which would give you something to work with. Then simply stack up the pieces you like to create a traditional iwagumi layout.

Guest

07/08/2014 17:57:53

Thanks for quick reply. Do you have any rock that 3 pieces would make it? Mike

Staff

07/08/2014 19:02:36

Maybe the giant lava rock but nothing else. Most people just stack the rock and it looks fine

Guest

Hi, I want to keep malawi cichlids and want to create the ideal aquascape, I have a juwel Vision 260. I would like some really large pieces. What's the largest sizes you do? How much rock is need to give a good look? Thanks Andy

Staff

07/18/2014 21:15:49

In a 260 you would need about 40kgs to create a decent scape for cichlids. Largest is about 30cm on average. Rocks stack well but you can use putty (also sold on the site) to make sure they don't topple over.

Hello, how many pieces/kg of rock would I need to create an iwagumi aquascape in a FLUVAL EDGE 46LTR TANK, bearing in mind the cube shape nature of the tank and its limited top opening?

Staff

09/19/2014 09:15:53

Try 7kgs - this should give you enough to work with. But the more rock you have, the happier you will be with the results.

Guest

06/10/2015 21:28:18

Is this rock porous or will it be fine for my hosptial tank?

Staff

06/10/2015 21:38:12

Possibly. Use mini landscape rock instead

Guest

I bought some of this rock a week or so ago. There was glue which was tough to get off on the back. Is this a problem?

Staff

06/21/2015 22:48:00

No it's not a problem

Guest

Hi! I’m looking for some pieces for a 5ft x 2 x 2 tank, as large as possible. Do you have any large pieces in stock? Rough dimensions? If so...how should I go about ordering them, price, unit, quantity etc? Thanks in advance for your time and help! - craigthomson19781@hotmail.co.uk

Staff

09/09/2018 08:46:56

I would advise to call office and ask Andy to weigh all of our biggest pieces. Then you’ll know how much weight to order.

Hi, I was just wondering if this would be safe to put in a shrimp tank as I was planning to keep some crystal reds which need low pH and wondered if this would affect the water hardness too much, if so should I stick to lava rock or another inert rock instead? Thank you for your time.

Staff

11/27/2018 07:25:12

It depends really. Some people don’t have any ph tissues with this rock and others might see some pH increases. It also depends if you are using a complete substrate like the tropica soil which decreases pH and as a result using nearly any rock is not a concern.

Guest

11/27/2018 18:01:16

Thank you for your advice, I will be using a buffering substrate (dennerle shrimp king active soil), which lowers the ph to 6 - 6.5. Just to check, would 6KG be enough for a 30L cube? Thanks again :).

Staff

11/28/2018 12:25:52

6kgs might be enough - depends on what you're creating. Better to buy more then you have a choice and aren't frustrated by not having quite enough choice. You can always return what you don't use.
