Aquatic Roman Gravel Natural Amethyst 8 Kg

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.

Really nice gravel, I wanted something natural looking, a nice size for plants and something that wouldnt cut bottom feeders mouths. This ticks all the boxes for me. Its a little expensive but worth it. Came very clean out of the bag, could almost get away with not washing but worth a rinse. I bought the natural highland variety.

Our aquarium needed a new gravel and this is an excellent option.It wasn’t as bad to clean as some gravels are, before putting it in the tank. Just washed it part by part, nice and easy.The gravel itself has lots of colours from pinks, purples, whites, and bits of blue and green too. This seems to be discontinued from nearly all other places so although it is a fraction dearer than normal, it’s prob because you will have trouble getting it else where.I’ll be buying a second bag for another aquarium before they sell out.It’s easy to clean once in the aquarium too (using an electric gravel cleaner).The pieces are a nice size, and very nice mix of shapes and colours.Would recommend.The item picture doesn’t really show how good it really is.

It's gravel. Nice even colour. Does the job.

Great

Is a really nice cream colour, looks great under lights for a brighter natural colour. Photo doesn't to it justice!

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.

I was being bothered by little black flies - sciads! Looked at RHS website. These lay eggs in top layer of damp soil. It recommended small stones on top to at least 1cm on each pot. Looked at loads of stuff to enable me to do this. Loved the colour of these stones. Also the fact they can be washed so can be reused when repotting again - bonus! Apologies don't have fish so no idea how they work in that environment.
