BXI First Impressions
"Highly recommend!"These colors combine to give an overall color of light brown. I'd recommend but just be wary of debris. I think the pink makes my aquarium stand out and gives it a cute little look. I just wanted to post a picture so you can see how much comes in a pack. This was because of my own preconceived notions and not that of the sellers though. At least any visible to the naked eye. The color mixture with the darker colors in it does that very well.

BXI Final Thoughts
"Look great."The color looks beautiful and natural in the tank. It smells like chlorine and epoxy glue. This was the cheapest DIY project with a big wow factor. Needs more plants but it makes the colors of the fish and other decor really pop. The pebbles are a perfect size for 30+ gallon tanks. Some of the bad feedback says it clouds the water. Just make sure you rinse it out REALLY good, before adding to your aquarium.

"That's all I can say."I did rinse it off before putting it in the aquarium. I think the pink makes my aquarium stand out and gives it a cute little look. The rocks are REALLY dirty, and contain random debris. I rinsed it before I put it in the tank. Fast delivery and item true to description. Don't use any soaps or anything else. Originally I bought the black with colored stones for my 5 gallon tank.

"Would purchase again."The glow is pretty minimal but it still looks nice. I rinsed it about 3-4 times and felt satisfied it was good. One bag was open and had emptied into the box. I planned on spending 24-48 hours removing all the dust in washes and soaks. It really makes the tank look sharp and I believe the goldfish likes it, too. I WOULD recommend buying this item! I have bought 2 bags of this gravel.

"Just as described."I wanted white rocks that were vibrant. My Vallisneria and amazon swords grow just fine in this substrate. So if you are looking for bigger size, this is not it. But the gravel itself is nice quality and adds interest to tanks. Just be patient and realize that it's going to take a while to rinse it. One bag was open and had emptied into the box. So far, really happy with how it looks in my small tank.

"Beautiful gravel."I just wanted to post a picture so you can see how much comes in a pack. Water became with film like on top and lots of little bubbles on every surface. It will take you a while to properly clean. At least any visible to the naked eye. The smooth and small pebbles are great for people keeping corycats. Obviously required a lot of rinsing.

"Nicely polished."I was scared to buy it after the reviews I read about it killing their fish. I filled with filter water ad let sit for a day before relocate fish. The rocks are REALLY dirty, and contain random debris. Removed pebbles and refilled for the 3rd time. I'd recommend but just be wary of debris. I'd recommend but just be wary of debris. I am disappointed that there seems to be nothing special about this gravel.

"So it really is natural."Everyone ask where did i get that color. This gravel works extremely well for planted tanks and for smaller fish species. Don't even hesitate on purchasing this stuff. So if you are looking for bigger size, this is not it. This gravel works extremely well for planted tanks and for smaller fish species. It comes in a variety of colors, but I prefer the classic white. For reference, my tank is a 20 gallon tall tank.

"It's gravel."It does need a good washing, and I used a 5 gallon bucket method. The color of the gravel makes the blue in my Tetra's and Gourami's pop. The rock arrived quickly and several days before projected. Aside from the size, the appearance of this gravel is what stands out the most. Needs more plants but it makes the colors of the fish and other decor really pop. I rinsed it about 3-4 times and felt satisfied it was good. It's a gemstone quality gravel, not the topfin crap from petsmart.

"First of all, the price."A little bigger than what I wanted but I still used it. Needs more plants but it makes the colors of the fish and other decor really pop. Had to move fish out after it nearly died. Everyone ask where did i get that color. I have a 90 gallon aquarium with a footprint of 18 by 48 inches. Yeah this stuff has to come prerinsed. There's a nice mix of color and gives my little nano tanks a nice earthy feel.

"Very nice gravel."I have bought 2 bags of this gravel. Unlike most, I didn't purchase this gravel for its ability to glow. A little bigger than what I wanted but I still used it. Colors are exactly as shown on the screen- at least on my monitor. There is some sand and dirt mixed in. The pebbles are a perfect size for 30+ gallon tanks. The glow is pretty minimal but it still looks nice.

"Makes my fish tank glow."One bag was open and had emptied into the box. Wouldn't have any other substrate for my axolotl. They are rocks, what more do you need. If you have to bury tank decor that doesn't have suction cups then you need more. Don't own a blacklight so can't tell if it glows or not. Out of the bag there is an amazing amount of dust. The gravel adds amazing color and the fish and snails seem to like it.
