Materials & Care
Crafted from carefully selected natural gravel, this substrate is inert, meaning it will not leach minerals or alter your aquarium’s water parameters, such as pH or hardness. This stability is crucial for maintaining a consistent and healthy environment for sensitive aquatic life and plants. The smooth texture ensures the safety of delicate fish fins and invertebrates. While designed to remain clean and clear, a light rinse with dechlorinated water before initial introduction is recommended by some aquarists to remove any residual dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemicals, as these can damage the gravel’s surface and potentially harm your aquarium inhabitants. Regular siphoning during water changes will help keep the substrate bed clean and oxygenated, promoting beneficial bacteria growth.
