Faux Stone Pond Props
By Aquotix Aquariums
Aquotix Aquariums is an Australia-based aquarium store that creates breathtaking pet-safe scenery for aquariums, terrariums, and more. They used EPS foam and an Industrial Hot Knife Kit to create these incredible decorative faux stone pieces.
“The props were custom-made for a small pond tucked beneath a veranda. The client requested a tall rock waterfall formation enhanced with plants and driftwood accents. However, real rocks of the required size were too heavy to transport up two flights of stairs. To solve this, our team opted to construct the formation from foam, using newly acquired tools from Hot Wire Foam Factory to carve realistic rock shapes.”
”Once the desired form was achieved, the white foam underwent a dramatic transformation. It was carefully painted and sealed with multiple types of waterproof coatings to ensure durability and a natural appearance. We also integrated pockets and built-in planters to accommodate ferns, mosses, and other plants.”
“The final result was stunning—and the client was thrilled with the outcome.”
