Bioscape Old Shipwreck Bow 29 x 14 x 12cm
The front section of a two-piece sunken wreck scene, sold to pair with the Stern. The Bioscape Old Shipwreck Bow is a hand-crafted, non-toxic resin ornament at 29 × 14 × 12 cm, styled with aged timber texturing and a hollow section fish and shrimp can use as a hide.
Key features
- Hand-crafted resin — cast and hand-painted, so texture and colour vary slightly piece to piece.
- Aged timber detailing — worn, weathered planking texture rather than a smooth moulded hull.
- Hollow hiding section — an internal cavity fish and shrimp can shelter in.
- Sold as a pairable half — designed to sit alongside the Old Shipwreck Stern as one sunken-vessel scene, or used alone.

Which shipwreck piece do I need?
| Piece | Dimensions | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Octopus Shipwreck | 34 × 10 × 22 cm | A stand-alone centrepiece — tallest of the three, works without a pair |
| Old Shipwreck Bow | 29 × 14 × 12 cm | Front section of a two-piece wreck scene, paired with the Stern |
| Old Shipwreck Stern | 32 × 14 × 12 cm | Rear section of a two-piece wreck scene, paired with the Bow |
Bought on its own, the Bow reads as a broken hull fragment. Bought with the Stern, the two pieces arrange into a single longer wreck scene along the substrate.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for freshwater and marine aquariums wanting a weathered wreck-fragment look, either as a standalone hide or as one half of a longer scene with the Stern. Not sold as a single complete ship — it's the front section only, and the Stern is a separate purchase.
Care and maintenance
Rinse thoroughly under running water before adding it to the tank to clear manufacturing dust or loose resin particles. No soaking or curing is required — it's inert and won't affect pH or water chemistry.
Warranty and delivery
Covered against manufacturing defects under Bioscape's warranty, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
Goes well with
Bioscape Old Shipwreck Stern — the rear section that completes the two-piece wreck scene.
Common questions
Does this include the Stern piece?
No — the Bow and Stern are sold as two separate ornaments so you can buy one or both.
Can I use it on its own?
Yes. It's built and finished as a standalone piece as well as a pairable half — the hollow section works as a hide either way.
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, but as with any ornament in a sensitive reef system, rinse it well and introduce it gradually if you're being cautious.
