Live Plant Anchor for Aquarium, Natural Limestone from Lake Michigan, Rock Aquarium Decor & Accessories, Best for Neutral to Basic Tank pH

$7.75

Shipping to United States: $4.75


Natural white, cream, tan, and gray limestone live plant anchors for aquariums and small ponds. These single-hole, all-natural plant anchors will finally solve the problem of uprooted aquarium plants. Finally, a natural-looking way to keep your aquarium plants where you want them and anchored firmly in the substrate. As many aquarists know, diggers can be big problems in your planted tank. Larger cichlids, dwarf gouramis, corydoras, plecos, oscars, and crustaceans are just a few of the culprits that can keep you elbow deep in the tank too much of the time.

When buying more than three stones or stones of different types and/or sizes, you will almost always receive a partial shipping refund. In most cases, shipping for these orders is $6.00 to $8.00 and you will receive a refund. Any shipping overage over $1.00 will be refunded.

****Important Read****
Many aquarists use large limestone rocks in their freshwater aquariums. Natural limestone has a pH of 7, while most tropical freshwater aquariums have a pH of 6.5 to 8. It will very slowly react with water below a pH of 7, acting as a buffer. It's compatible with many common freshwater fish, such as bettas, mollys, guppys, platys, swordtails, cichlids, corys, plecos, goldfish, and many more. I've even kept a Kuhli loach for over 10 years in an aquarium with a huge chunk of decorative Texas holey rock limestone, and they prefer a pH of 6 to 6.5. For fish that prefer a much lower pH, like neon and cardinal tetras, rams, and tiger barbs, I'd probably use other stones like granites, basalts, and sandstones that I sell. The advantage of the limestone is its stark contrast to black stone substrates, which really makes them pop. If your aquarium water is usually in the lower pH range due to lots of wood, overcrowding of fish, and/or poor upkeep on tank cleaning, then limestone isn't your best bet.

Each stone is uniquely different in shape and color variation and was picked from various Lake Michigan beaches. Colors may range from bright white, off white, cream, tan, and gray. The listing photos are representative of the stones you will receive. The bottom of the hole will usually be slightly beveled.

Feel free to message me with a certain color or size preference, a larger hole size, etc., and I will try my best to accommodate depending on what I currently have. I can also drill out larger holes at 0.7 or 0.8 inches per request for medium stones. Java ferns, with their larger root base, are often matched with a .8 inch hole.

Small light colored stones generally range in size from 1.75 to 3 inches long, 1.4 to 2 inches wide, and 0.5 to 1.25 inches deep, with a hole diameter of 0.5 inches.

Medium light colored stones generally range in size from 2.5 to 3.5 inches long, 2 to 2.5 inches wide, and 0.75 to 1.25 inches deep.

A piece of Seapora filter floss is included with each order to wrap tiny stems before they develop roots.

Many other types and colors of plant anchor stones are available on both my Etsy store and website.

    Etsy Seller: Michael Wilson, Michael’s Privacy Policy
    This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.
    This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party services you access through Etsy. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices. Nathan should then go on to include information on the following:
    Information I Collect
    To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order of jewelry, for example), if you contact me directly.
    Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It
    I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
    • as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
    • when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
    • if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
    • as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
    Information Sharing and Disclosure
    Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
    • Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
    • Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
    • Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
    • Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.
    Data Retention
    I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.
    Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU
    I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.
    Your Rights
    If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:
    • Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
    • Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
    • Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
    • Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
