Basic Use & Info:
Our rock decor is pH neutral, 100% natural, animal-safe, terrarium-safe, and aquarium-safe. Unlike some other rock decor (volcanic, slate, etc), these usually don't need to be dulled, and never need to be buffered before use. After a quick rinse, our rock decor is ready for use. In the right conditions, epiphytic and lithophytic plants will grip to our rock decor with ease, and yield beautiful natural looking results. While we offer rock pieces a la carte for specific projects, the best bang for your buck is definitely the "Bulk Box" options below. Bulk Boxes are shipped in flat rate containers, which allow us to offset the cost of shipping 100% into our most affordable "per pound" cost. For more, toggle our advanced use recommendations.

Advanced Use:
For experienced designers only. Background-mounting rocks is performed at your own risk.
Background-mounted rock decor is an advanced-level practice which we recommend only to experienced adult-age terrarium designers. Always perform due diligence for safety, as rocks which become detached from glass can cause a serious falling hazard for inhabitants, and a broken glass hazard for people. The following practice is performed at the builder's own risk. Please don't proceed unless you are experienced, confident, and capable of ensuring adequate safety measures are followed.

At NEHERP we mount rock decor to glass using Terrarium-Safe ASI Silicone which features an extremely high high tensile strength (500PSI!) compared to lower-end hardware store silicone and/or polyurethane foam. We're always careful to provide an adequate contact path between the silicone, glass, and rock decor as this is the primary method of adhesion we rely on. Not every rock is suitable for background mounting, and we try to focus our efforts on pieces which have a mostly flat side, since that offers the greatest contact path. Once the rock is well secured using silicone and fully cured, we test it for safety by applying pressure to see if it can be removed by hand. If it comes off after a good tug, it wasn't secure enough. If it sticks firmly, it's possible to move to the next step. Foam can then be used to help fill gaps between rocks & other hardscape decor and may help support things in a secondary way. After the foam has cured, we cut it where it's not desired, coat it with more silicone, and cover the wet silicone with Custom Background Texture Mix. After another 24-48 hours of curing, we're left with a nice looking piece of rock integrated into some custom background work. As of late 2023, we are working towards a rock mosaic style background tutorial. Keep an eye out, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions or concerns about this process.

NEHERP Staff Description:

These are 10-30lb boxes of the same awesome rocks we offer a la carte, only at deeply reduced bulk prices. These all-natural rocks are of medium weight for their size, and offer plenty of details with a deep gray "ash" color palette. These have an incredible number of uses in a live vivarium, and have been used by numerous terrarium designers (us included) with success. These pH neutral rocks are a natural solution for growing plants on a rock surface, especially when paired with a Misting System. They are also safe for use in paludariums & aquariums. Priced per pound, with a minimum of 10lbs to purchase to qualify for these prices. Sizes of the included rock will vary per piece, but we do our best to include a nice wide mix ranging from small bits to pieces up to 11-12in long. No pieces 13in+ will be sent in bulk boxes.

IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTE:
Bulk Rock Boxes ship separately from any other item using flat-rate boxes. Because these are literal boxes of rock, we cannot combine-ship this with any other item without having the other item obliterated in transit. You are welcome to order bulk rock decor along with anything else on the website, but the "free shipping" deal will only apply to the bulk rock boxes, and anything else will ship separately with it's own shipping fee. Thanks for understanding!
