T-Rex Aquarium Decor – Rocky Shoals Background
Rocky Shoals provides instant landscaping for your aquarium. It functions as both a background and a biological filter, offering a framework for adding landscape elements such as wood and aquarium plants.
Once installed, Rocky Shoals gives your aquarium an immediate environmental effect, simulating a rocky shoreline. You can add T-Rex Aquavine, Aqua Root, live plants, or other aquarium décor.
Live aquatic plants can be anchored in the foam by making a small slit and inserting the roots. Artificial plants can also be inserted directly into the foam.

The Rocky Shoals looks great in my 10-gallon tank. It adds a natural rocky shoreline look and holds the live plants well. My shrimp and small fish seem to be thriving. Easy to install and fits perfectly.
Kevin Piper –
I used it with a few live plants and it holds them securely. The background effect is realistic and the foam provides some filtration. A little more space would be better for larger setups.
Anthony Watson –
Great value for the look and function. My aquarium now has a natural feel. The plants stay in place and the water clarity improved slightly over time.
