Bioscape Moss VW Car w/Bubbler 15 x 7cm
A moss-covered VW-style hideaway that can run as an air bubbler too. The Bioscape Moss Car is a hand-finished, non-toxic resin ornament shaped like a moss-covered classic camper, sized at 15 × 7 cm, with a fitting built in to take airline tubing for a bubble effect.
Key features
- Hand-finished resin — cast and hand-painted, so texture and colour vary slightly piece to piece.
- Moss-covered detailing — faux moss built into the resin finish, not a separate layer that can peel off.
- Dual purpose — works as a static hideaway ornament on its own, or connect an air pump for a bubbling effect through the built-in fitting.
- Hideaway shape — an open cavity fish and shrimp can shelter in.
What's included / not included
The ornament ships as the resin car only. It does not include an air pump, airline tubing or check valve — you'll need your own air pump and standard airline tubing to run the bubbler function, plus a check valve to stop water siphoning back into the pump when it's switched off.

Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for freshwater and marine aquariums as a static ornament, or as a bubbler feature once connected to your own air pump and tubing. Not sold with the air pump, tubing or check valve needed to run the bubbler — budget for these separately if you want the bubble effect.
Care and maintenance
Rinse thoroughly under running water before adding it to the tank to clear manufacturing dust or loose resin particles. If running the bubbler, check the airline connection periodically for algae build-up that can restrict airflow.
Warranty and delivery
Covered against manufacturing defects under Bioscape's warranty, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
Common questions
Does it come with an air pump?
No. The ornament includes the fitting for airline tubing, but the air pump, airline tubing and check valve are sold separately.
Can I use it without the bubbler running?
Yes — it works as a standalone hideaway ornament with the bubbler function left unconnected.
Will it affect my water chemistry?
No — it's a non-toxic, inert resin that doesn't alter pH or hardness.
Is it reef safe?
Bioscape markets it as safe for both freshwater and marine setups; as with any ornament in a sensitive reef system, rinse it well and introduce it gradually if you're being cautious.
