Question 1

Are these made of plastic or concrete?

Accepted Answer

Feels like a real cinder block. Not plastic. They are cute.

Question 2

Does 12pk mean 12 individual blocks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you get 12 blocks.

Question 3

Are these aquarium safe? What type of cement is used?

Accepted Answer

It depends on a lot of factors. Are they delicate FW fish (angels, ciclds, etc), are the tank fillers (gups, barbs, tri sharks, etc) or are they maintenance fish (algae etr, plecks, etc) or are they swimming dumpsters (goldfish)? Do you love your fish? Are your tank Citizens pets or just fish to you? Do you care about your fish? Do you even like and want your fish? Do you hate or want to just get rid of them, but you can’t do it yourself so you let time do it for you? (Joke) maybe. Anyway, if you love your fish and consider them pets, even the swimming landfills (goldfish, which you really shouldn’t put with your other citizens), then ABSOLUTELY NOT!! If you don’t like your fish, things like this are the best way to make them unhappy. If it’s just goldfish, these types of bricks or materials aren’t as dangerous as your goldfish. In fact, if just a brickwater aquarium, I definitely wouldn’t put goldfish with them. Goldfish release a very potent amount of ammonia that will break the matter up in these bricks. YOU DONT WANT TO PUT ANYTHING IN AN AQUARIUM THATS NOT AQUA APPROVED OR COATED WITH AN AQUA LAQUER. Waste from fish WILL BREAK EVERYTHING DOWN EXCEPT GLASS MATERIALS, like marbles. They want to sell you their products and will sell you on “OKs, definitely’s, and absolutely’s”. If you want to know the REAL ANSWER, when a company says “Absolutely, they’ll be perfect”, or the famous “people say…”, just ask, if they guarantee it’s perfectly safe, then ask them to please sign and date a statement, so in case all your fish die in 6 months to a year, you want to prove to the tank manufacturer that it’ couldn’t possibly be the blocks causing mass damage. A mentor told me this 25 yrs ago and in that 25 yrs you’ll be happy to know how many choices of these bricks you’ll have to choose from. In fact, I’ll just give you the list now. So be ready, in 25+ years, absolutely ZERO companies will put in writing they can be used. BCUZ LEGALLY THEY CANNOT BCUZ IT’LL BE FALSE ADVERTISING. I can’t legally tell you to not buy anything approved, but I can absolutely legally tell you that. That if you like to watch your fish just float all day, these are awesome for that. If you like to watch your fish swimming, this isn’t for those type of aquarium owners. Get the idea?

Question 4

Do these work with 1/64 scale cars

Accepted Answer

If you are looking for something that is to scale for a 1/64 car, then these mini cinder blocks would be on the large side. With that being said, they will certainly work with them. It just depends on how much you want it to be to scale. Acacia Grove does also sell a 1/35 scale mini cinder block mold to pour your own mini cinder blocks, and these would be much closer in scale to your 1/64 scale cars.

I hope that helps!
