Gravel is an important part of every aquarium, and Aqua Culture Aquarium Gravel in Starry Night will keep your aquarium healthy when you add it to the bottom. It not only beautifies your underwater world but provides a surface for the growth of beneficial bacteria which help to convert fish waste. Combining gravel with plants and decorations which provide cover and hiding places will create a healthy and natural environment for your aquatic creatures. Pair this gravel with brightly-colored or neon aquarium ornaments for an eye-catching setup. We recommend a depth of approximately two inches of gravel, especially when used with an undergravel filter. For most aquariums, this amounts to 1.5 to two pounds per gallon of capacity. Keep your aquarium beautiful and healthy with Aqua Culture Aquarium Gravel in Starry Night.
