Anchor Natural Aquarium Gravel is a washed, inert gravel for freshwater tanks, sold in 2kg bags in three finishes. It is a substrate for gravel-bed tanks and undergravel filters rather than a planted-tank soil - heavily rooted plants will still want a nutrient layer underneath it.
Pick the finish for the fish as much as the look: pale gravel bounces light back up and can make shy species hold to cover, while darker gravel settles them and shows colour better. Browse the rest of our aquarium decorations to match.
Features
- Inert and pH neutral - will not shift water chemistry as it ages.
- Three finishes - Multi Brown, White, and a 4-6mm Multi Mix.
- 2kg bags - buy the depth you actually want instead of a fixed tank kit.
Setting up
Rinse thoroughly in a bucket until the water runs clear before it goes in the tank, then bed it roughly 3-5cm deep. Pour water onto a plate or your hand when filling so you do not dig channels through it.
