1. Stabilizing Water Quality and Adjusting Hardness
 - **Mineral Release**: Some natural stones contain minerals such as calcium and magnesium. These minerals are slowly released into the water, which can adjust the water hardness (GH value). This is suitable for fish that prefer relatively hard water, like cichlids from the three African Great Lakes.
 - **Acid - Base Buffering**: If the stone is of the calcium - carbonate type (such as marble), it can slightly increase the pH value of the water, buffer acidic substances, and maintain the stability of water acidity and alkalinity.

 2. Providing Biological Attachment Space
 - **Carrier for Algae and Microorganisms**: Both smooth and rough surfaces can serve as attachment points for nitrifying bacteria and algae (such as green algae), facilitating the establishment of the fish tank ecosystem.
 - **Habitat for Snails / Shrimps**: The gaps and surface textures can provide climbing and hiding places for small organisms such as snails and shrimps, especially suitable for planted tanks or ecological tanks.

3. Landscape Decoration and Visual Effects
 - **Creating Natural Landscapes**: Moon Ice Stone often has white, light - gray, or fine - textured colors. It can be paired with aquatic plants and driftwood to create landscaping styles such as "minimalist style", "stream - like scenery", or "rocky canyon", adding a sense of hierarchy to the fish tank.
 - **Light and Shadow Reflection**: The smooth surface can reflect light, enhancing the light and shadow effects in the fish tank, making the water body appear more transparent. It is suitable for creating a quiet atmosphere when paired with soft lighting.

4. Physical Support and Structural Stability
 - **Foundation for Stacked Landscaping**: The hard - textured Moon Ice Stone can serve as a supporting structure for the landscape framework. It can be used to stack rockeries, stone beaches, and other shapes. When fixed with aquatic plant soil or substrate sand, it improves the stability of the landscaping.
 - **Preventing Substrate Sand from Sliding**: Placed under or in the gaps of the substrate sand, it can reduce the displacement of the substrate sand caused by water flow impact, especially suitable for fish tanks paved with quicksand or fine sand.
