Common questions
Before you choose.
How much gravel do I need?
Aim for about 5 cm deep. Tell us your tank size and we will help you work out how much.
Can plants grow in gravel?
Yes, many hardy plants do well, especially with root tabs. Demanding plants grow better in aqua soil.
Do I need to wash gravel?
Yes. Rinse it until the water runs clear before adding it to the tank.
