"Love this blue gravel!"

Wash gravel well before use, and its pretty good. The rocks are REALLY dirty, and contain random debris. I do not own glofish nor a glofish tank. I opened the bag, dumped it in a bowl and filled it with water. It does need a good washing, and I used a 5 gallon bucket method. 5 inches of gravel, so you could use more or less depending on tank size. The little package of clarifier included is not nearly enough.

"It's just what I wanted."

This was the cheapest DIY project with a big wow factor. It has lovely colors and I will be using ONLY this gravel in the future. The color looks beautiful and natural in the tank. Obviously required a lot of rinsing. I'm accenting with multicolored glass rocks to accent. They are rocks, what more do you need. Really just rinsed a little and ready to go.

"It's what I ordered."

So far, really happy with how it looks in my small tank. Don't use any soaps or anything else. This was because of my own preconceived notions and not that of the sellers though. Secondly the gravels colour looks enhanced under a bright led light. Needs more plants but it makes the colors of the fish and other decor really pop. The rock arrived quickly and several days before projected. There's a nice mix of color and gives my little nano tanks a nice earthy feel.

"Love the color."

The gravel adds amazing color and the fish and snails seem to like it. This was because of my own preconceived notions and not that of the sellers though. The rocks look great and arrived very quickly. The glow is pretty minimal but it still looks nice. They are rocks, what more do you need. Secondly the gravels colour looks enhanced under a bright led light. One bag was open and had emptied into the box.

Don't even waste your time adding it to your tank. I'm accenting with multicolored glass rocks to accent. I purchased to put into a dry river rock. This is not the colored synthetic aquarium medium.

"Beautiful and natural."

It's a gemstone quality gravel, not the topfin crap from petsmart. I wished I would have bought a few more so It would be deeper in my tank. Minimal clouding gone within 12 hours. Worked great for my succulent gardens. Very random shapes and colors that blend well. Wouldn't have any other substrate for my axolotl. For my purpose, they work perfectly, for an aquarium, they might need a quick rinse.

"Rocks are expensive."

But didnt return it as it still looked cool with few coloured pebbles scattered. Although I had to rinse it about 5 times to fully get ALL of the dust out. Only issue is that it did have a hole in the bag but nothing too horrible. I have bought 2 bags of this gravel. I used this for a path in a 22 gallon aquarium. I bought a few bags of this and it's nice. Secondly the gravels colour looks enhanced under a bright led light.

"My tank is not done yet."

The rock arrived quickly and several days before projected. I wished I would have bought a few more so It would be deeper in my tank. I bought two bags for my 55 gallon. I wanted white rocks that were vibrant. It was easy to clean and looks great in my bamboo glass vases! These colors combine to give an overall color of light brown. Yeah this stuff has to come prerinsed.
