Description:
McDonald Lake boulder is a rare and unique stone. Its name it’s a tribute to the Glacier National Park's biggest lake in Montana, USA. It is a colourful boulder that can add a stunning visual appeal to your aquarium or terrarium, creating a unique riverbed impression. With colours ranging from dark red to maroon, and from green to blue and black, it adds a unique and beautiful touch to any aquascape.
The coloured stones of Lake McDonald owe their colours to the iron content in sedimentary pebble rocks and the degree of its oxidation. The rocks were formed for millions of years under different conditions, resulting in the beautiful colours seen today. The lake rocks were then ground into small coloured pebbles by giant ice blocks during the Ice Age, which were then brought into the valley by streams of meltwater.
McDonald Lake boulder is available in mix sizes from 10 to 30cm, and it can be complemented with McDonald Lake Nano Boulders. Some boulders may raise pH and hardness slightly. Regular water changes are enough to keep the hardness under control.

Fabulous item and my shrimps love it
Fabulous item and my shrimps were using it within minutes. Arrived earlier than expected and really well packed. Totally covered in healthy moss which is growing already. Have since ordered some plants on rocks and delighted with them too. Would highly recommend

Have been using Aquaessentials on and off, for many years now. On and off because at times I have taken a break from aquatics, but rest assured when I'm ready to start up again or expand, aquaessentials is my first and only choice. They have always amazed me with the unbeatable quality of the plants and decor they supply, and have always been superfast with deliveries. They always have a vast range online and are always well stocked. None of the numerous aquatic stores I have visited over the years could ever be considered a match for this. In short whenever I need plants or decor for my aquarium projects Aquaessentials will alway be my one and only goto.
These guys are the best , well packaged healthy plants, really impressed with the quality yes they are a little more money than buying off say ebay , but you get what you pay for , keep up the good work , ill be back 👍
First time ordering plants online and I now have a permanent source. Not only cheaper but so much better than previous purchases I’ve made in store.
Can’t make a single complaint, next day delivery, great packaging no damage anything. And the moss balls are so tiny I love it. Can’t wait to add them to the tank.
They include little care sheets to figure out how to properly care for your plants if needed. Will be coming back when I’m ready to move forward with the next plants. Great company ☺️
