Small World Slate & Stone Aquarium Gravel - Natural Substrate for Aquascaping Planted, Freshwater and Saltwater Tanks - Grey - Small Scale Gravel Size 1/8"-1/4" (14 lbs)

Our substrate is 100% real slate stone that is sourced, sorted, washed and packaged by our family owned business in the USA. It is a beautiful, deep grey matte color, with a hint of blue. Because this gravel is natural, some white and brown stones are mixed in which add to the natural look. Each package is a mix of small gravel from 1/8" to 1/4" (some pieces may be slightly above or below this range). Absolutely no coatings on this or any of our stones.

An excellent gravel for aquascaping aquariums, saltwater tanks and planted tanks. The grey/blue color makes wood, plants and other inhabitants and decorations pop. Pairs perfectly with our Natural Slate Stones that come in sizes from 1 inch up to 10 inches for a cohesive, natural scene. Perfect scale for miniature models and scenes as well as a topper for succulents and other potted plants.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS - Even though it has been washed, this substrate will arrive quite dusty due to shipping and handling. This is normal for this stone. Be sure to wash this gravel repeatedly, in water ONLY, until water is clear (or mostly clear). It is common for dust to float on the surface during rinsing and filling. Place cleaned gravel in your empty tank (no water), and decorate the tank before adding water.

We offer three different sizes of substrate; 1/8" to 1/4" (this listing) , 1/4" to 1/2" and Less than 1/8" (coarse sand). We like to mix these for an even more realistic scene! Check them out! Perfect for large or small aquariums!
