Natural River Gravel fine.
Product Guide:
AquaOne Natural River Gravel fine is a premium, 100% natural substrate sourced from riverbeds in the UK. Designed to replicate a realistic aquatic environment, this fine-graded gravel features smooth, rounded pebbles in various earth tones, making it both a visually stunning and safe choice for freshwater aquariums.
1. Key Features & Benefits.
- Authentic Riverbed Look:Â The mix of natural shapes and earthy colours provides a realistic backdrop that contrasts beautifully with vibrant fish and green plants.
- Safe for Aquatic Life: Being completely natural with no added colours or artificial dyes, it is non-toxic and safe for fish, invertebrates, and bottom-feeders.
- Water Quality & Stability: Made from inert materials, this gravel will not alter the pH or water chemistry, ensuring a stable environment for your tank’s ecosystem.
- Plant-Friendly:Â The fine texture provides a stable base for plant roots to anchor while allowing for water circulation and nutrient exchange.
- Easy Maintenance: Its particle size allows waste to settle on the surface, making it easy to remove with a siphon or Gravel Vac during routine cleaning.
2. Available Sizes & Specifications.
AquaOne Natural River Gravel fine is typically available in two main bag sizes to accommodate different aquarium setups:
| Size | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| 2kg Bag | Small to medium tanks or for decorative layering |
| 10kg Bag | Standard focal points for larger setups |
- Grain Size:Â “Fine” grade; also available in “Extra Fine” and “Medium/Coarse”.
- Suitability:Â Coldwater, Tropical, and Bettas.
3. Usage & Preparation.
To ensure crystal-clear water and a healthy environment, proper preparation is essential:
- Rinse Thoroughly:Â Pour the gravel into a clean bucket and rinse with lukewarm tap water. Stir to dislodge fine dust until the water runs completely clear.
- Layering:Â For planted tanks, you can use this as a top layer over a nutrient-rich substrate or as a standalone base with the addition of root tabs.
- Aquascaping Tip: Create depth by sloping the gravel so it is taller at the back of the tank and shallower at the front.
