Pettex Roman Gravel Aquarium Gravel (18lb) (Natural Lakeland)

The best gravel I have ever purchased and it is easy to clean through, unlike others on the market. Very natural and compliments Dragon Rocks perfectly. Have purchased 3 bags so far to use in 2 tanks. All inhabitants seem to enjoy it. My Aqua-Scape includes planting and so far so good. They seem to be rooting well in it though are supplemented by weekly feed. It also includes a sandy area and compliments this beautifully. Will try and upload photos as soon as I am able. Will definitely purchase again and highly recommend to starter or expert enthusiasts.

As described

Switched to gravel from our original sand setup and much prefer it as it's much easier to clean and the fish appear to prefer it too.It took a fair amount of washing. I can't remember exactly how long but it ran into days rather than hours. The initial wash was simply to remove the surface debris, I then left it to soak for around 24hrs and then rinsed it again. Another long stand was followed by a final rinse and then it was ready to go in... within minutes of it going in my tank was completely clouded but that was due to the filter choosing that exact moment to give up and die. Typical!With a new filter installed the water cleared within an hour or so and my little swimmers were transferred back into their new-look home. I've not had any complaints so far so must assume that they like it. They're all eating well so I'm taking that as a win. It's expensive, considering it's simply dug out of the ground and packed, and it's absolutely identical to the stuff already on our driveway, but nobody forced me to buy it. I probably wouldn't buy it again but mainly because I'm really tight rather than the product being rubbish.

After a year of trying to figure out why I was getting so much black beard algae, I did some testing against another inert gravel and found this gravel leaches loads of minerals into the water and was causing algae blooms. I have now switched to something else and no longer get the same issue.

Very clean no dust beautiful stones would buy more
