Pure Water Pebbles Natural Aquarium Gravel, 5-lb bag

Just received this, I ordered the middle one it shows white with brownish, the bag says custom blend but it is all the brown color I did want the white, also there is more sand and tiny pieces, than stones I tried to sift out the sandy stuff to get just pebbles. Sifting the sand was a mess I just dumped it. Just my experience might be fine for someone else.

These stones made my fish tank VERY CLOUDY!!! I had to drain the water and start fresh which I was not happy with being as though my tank was really clear before adding these stones! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR FRESH WATER TANK!!!!

I purchased this because looking at the photos I could find, I thought it was more brown/beige, but it's actually more golden/yellow. And the gravel itself is mixed sized stones. I was hoping it was a finer gravel, like Aqua Natural Midnight pearl, but it's not. The Pure Water Pebbles Cumberland River is a great gravel if you don't want the fine gravel and the color is great if you want that 'golden hue' in your substrate.

The item quality was perfect, the shipping was so fast , but Unfortunately the color that I needed was not as pictured , needed the white tones as shown , the bags were brown tones . To my surprise I was refunded .

I washed the rocks in warm water (no soap) and they weren't very dirty. Didn't take long to wash the dust off. I'm pretty sure my turtle likes them.

I needed 2 bags for my 5 gal snail tank. It’s cute

I saw some people complaining about the size of the pebbles and that there was a dust issue. There's no dust issue here and I only did one rinse, not even that well. The size of the pebbles is a bit bigger than most, it looks natural and charming. If you're going for a stream look, these pebbles definitely look natural from the varying size. No snails either as I saw someone else mention. If you have a twenty-five gallon you'll need about two and a half bags though.

Soaked them, rinse them, when in the tank I waited 15 to 20 mins before dripping the fish back in. I like it!

Even though I washed these pebbles, that are coated with acrylic, as per the directions, they still made the water cloudy. I can't see why they can not be thoroughly washed at the factory when they are packaged to prevent this problem. It has been a couple of weeks now and the water is STILL cloudy from these supposedly coated pebbles! I'm glad to see you people finally wised up and started taking Paypal. For years I have been waiting, not buying and complaining that you will never get my credit card number. You finally got wise. It's about time.

I wasn't using them for anything dainty, just to mix into some soil but was super satisfied with the size of the pebbles and the lack of dust on them.
