## Questions & Answers

**Q: Greetings. Rebedding my softener and spec calls for #20 Gravel.  Does this meet that requirement?**
A: It depends on the size of the retsin tank. A smaller tank according to some of the web sites don’t need any at all. Me personally like having gravel in my tanks. My water has more volume coming out of the sinks. I put 20 lbs in my 12X48” tank. 15lb in my 9x48” tank. I hope this helps you.

**Q: Any concerns with using in a freshwater aquarium as the substrate?**
A: This is for water home water softener which has drinking water running through it.  Probably ok for fish.

**Q: what is the diferance between fish aquarium rocks and these rocks**
A: That's a great question! I was going to use this gravel in my water softner rebuild. When I got the resin out, there was no gravel in the bottom, so I didn't use it for the water softner. But I did add it to my softshell turtle's aquarium and it looks like the same stuff from the pet store! I don't think I would use aquarium gravel in my softner though...might end up tasting fishy? But that's just me....LOL

**Q: What is the gravel for in the water softner ?  and where does it go ?**
A: It is meant to give even water distribution. Typically it is poured first and is below the softening resin

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fresh Water Aquarium Use
*by A***A on December 16, 2022*

I found this gravel to be a perfect match with the inch or two of pool sand in my planted guppy aquarium, also the pieces are big enough for fry to shelter among. Blending the 15 lb bag with my 1-2" deep sand bed made for a nice 3" deep substrate that breaths well and looks great for my plants to thrive in for a much longer time.I was concerned about a review I read that said it needed 6-7 rinses and grass and dirt were found in it, so I scooped out about 4 Cups of gravel at a time and rinsed in my kitchen colander before adding to my aquarium. I found a scant amount of dust, but not even enough to collect in the bage it came in, and this rinsed off instantly. So I would say this was an exceptionally clean product and for my purposes it couldn't have been a better option! A great planted tank option that blends well with natural collared light sand.One consideration I would have is that the crevises are large enough for uneaten fish food to be lost in there...so shrimp/ fry/ snails and very lightly feeding or floating food will be some considerations to take with this aquarium substrate. I would say that the size of each gravel piece is the size of half a pea, from the super tiny pea half sizes to the regular frozen pea type sizes -1/2 of that, I would say each piece of gravel is the size of nerds candy if you grouped those pieces into groups of 3...each group of 3 would be about the size of one of these pieces of gravel. I hope that helps, I don't want to measure.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked great for water softener!
*by K***N on November 29, 2023*

I used this for the gravel base in my water softener resin tank during a tune-up. It was the perfect amount for a 9 inch diameter tank and covered the filter before covering with new resin beads.You will need to wash it in a 5 gallon bucket about 10 times before the water runs clear.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LiquaGen - Gravel for Water Softeners
*by C***S on December 9, 2023*

LiquaGen - Gravel for Water Softeners - good sized gravel, took to long to get them clean to install in the water softner.
