Hakkai Stone
Hakkai Stone is an exclusive type of stone. For a long time, the stone is only sporadically available. He owes his fame to the 350cm long layout that has been on display at the entrance of the ADA gallery since 2005. Finally it is available in the webshop. It is a beautiful stone with dark gray tones, sometimes with a shade of green and blue. Not much at first glance, but if you take the time you will appreciate its beauty.
The Hakkai Stone is rounded and smooth to the touch. Dents and pits are present on the surface. In translations, it is referred to as "insect-eaten" stones, because it seems that the dents are formed. If you let your imagination run wild, it also resembles the modeling work of giants. It is of course more plausible that this was caused by water that flows with great force along the stones and slowly erodes these shapes. The stones are therefore ideally suited to translate the atmosphere of a fast-flowing river into the aquarium.
For an Iwagumi layout, Hakkai Stones can be combined well with grassy plants such as Eleocharis acicularis, Blyxa japonica, Cyperus helferi, Helanthium tenelleum 'Green' etc. The trick is to find a good balance between plants and stones. Hakkai Stones are quite heavy and not all stones are equally pronounced in terms of dents and pits. When in doubt, we therefore recommend ordering a little more than will ultimately be used, so that a selection can be made. Thanks to the dark color and special shape, you can quickly set up a natural aquarium.
