Beautiful gravel

Really lovely in a tank. Very natural looking and my plants grow well in it with the addition of some root tabs.

I love the color of this gravel

So the gravel is "alive" and you don't rinse it which makes for cloudy water but after a night of cycling, it cleared right up! I love that it adds beneficial bacteria

So the gravel is "alive" and you don't rinse it which makes for cloudy water but after a night of cycling, it cleared right up! I love that it adds beneficial bacteria to my tank without having to wait! The only thing I would recommend is buying double, if not triple, the amount recommend. It recommends one pound of gravel per gallon for your tank but the 5 pound bag barely covered the bottom of my 5 gallon tank. I plan on buying 2 more bags to add to my aquarium!
