"I recommend!"

It worked really well and still allowed new stems to pop through. The glow is pretty minimal but it still looks nice. I baught a 5 gallon tank and i had to buy 2 packs. The color of the gravel makes the blue in my Tetra's and Gourami's pop. I decided on this particular brand of gravel because of Amazon's add-on program. This is not the colored synthetic aquarium medium. Color is good contrast to the Beta.

"Nicely polished."

I used these to put on top of soil if my pot plants. There's a nice mix of color and gives my little nano tanks a nice earthy feel. Removed pebbles and refilled for the 3rd time. I used this for a path in a 22 gallon aquarium. The rock arrived quickly and several days before projected. I rinsed it about 3-4 times and felt satisfied it was good. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and would suggest this product to others.

"Nice gravel."

This is the real deal mother earth approx. I have bought 2 bags of this gravel. It's a gemstone quality gravel, not the topfin crap from petsmart. Don't even waste your time adding it to your tank. One bag was open and had emptied into the box. I recommend doing it in smaller portions. For my purpose, they work perfectly, for an aquarium, they might need a quick rinse.

"A few minutes."

I use a hybrid of the Walstad Method, and this stuff is perfect. Fast delivery and item true to description. I WOULD recommend buying this item! The glow is pretty minimal but it still looks nice. The smooth and small pebbles are great for people keeping corycats. This is perfect for a 2 gallon tank that also has some acrylic gems. I actually used this on the top of my potted plants to keep gnats away.

"It's gravel."

I didn't even need the water clarifier, and I found it in the bag. I recommend doing it in smaller portions. I've ordered their midnight pearl color and it is beautiful too. I've been using it now for a couple of months and nothing has happened to them. The pebbles are a perfect size for 30+ gallon tanks. I'm accenting with multicolored glass rocks to accent. My Vallisneria and amazon swords grow just fine in this substrate.

"Thumbs up!"

All n all, very happy with the purchase. I didn't even need the water clarifier, and I found it in the bag. I baught a 5 gallon tank and i had to buy 2 packs. Very random shapes and colors that blend well. Don't use any soaps or anything else. I am disappointed that there seems to be nothing special about this gravel. Worked great for my succulent gardens.

"I do not like fish."

Works great in my daughter aquarium. It gives a very natural riverbed look to the aquarium. I have a 90 gallon aquarium with a footprint of 18 by 48 inches. I've been using it now for a couple of months and nothing has happened to them. Arrived in 8 sealed plastic bags inside one Priority box. Water became with film like on top and lots of little bubbles on every surface. Like everyone else says wash it before putting it in your tank.

"Nice rocks for my BioOrb."

This gravel works extremely well for planted tanks and for smaller fish species. Wouldn't have any other substrate for my axolotl. I opened the bag, dumped it in a bowl and filled it with water. Only issue is that it did have a hole in the bag but nothing too horrible. Only issue is that it did have a hole in the bag but nothing too horrible.

"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.

"With normal tap water."

I bought two bags for my 55 gallon. Don't use any soaps or anything else. The gravel size is exactly as described in the product description- 2 to 4mm. Some of the bad feedback says it clouds the water. I have blue lights and white lights in my tanks. Like everyone else says wash it before putting it in your tank. Had to move fish out after it nearly died.

"But it was horrible."

The gravel adds amazing color and the fish and snails seem to like it. I opened the bag, dumped it in a bowl and filled it with water. Had to move fish out after it nearly died. It smells like chlorine and epoxy glue. Stir periodically and then your good to go! At least any visible to the naked eye. This is perfect for a 2 gallon tank that also has some acrylic gems.

"Worked like a charm."

Stir periodically and then your good to go! 5 inches of gravel, so you could use more or less depending on tank size. Yeah this stuff has to come prerinsed. They're like large pebbles that are the size of your pinky-nail. One bag was open and had emptied into the box. Secondly the gravels colour looks enhanced under a bright led light. I've been using that for a few months now with my betta.

"Makes my fish tank glow."

I opened the bag, dumped it in a bowl and filled it with water. It was easy to clean and looks great in my bamboo glass vases! So if you are looking for bigger size, this is not it. Colors are exactly as shown on the screen- at least on my monitor. So will just see if color stays-God willing! Snails and fish dont seem to mind the switch from sand. We bought this for a glo fish tank.

"Worked out great for me."

I've been using that for a few months now with my betta. I just wanted to post a picture so you can see how much comes in a pack. I'd recommend but just be wary of debris. I have bought 2 bags of this gravel. Needs more plants but it makes the colors of the fish and other decor really pop. Out of the bag there is an amazing amount of dust. I opened the bag, dumped it in a bowl and filled it with water.

"So it really is natural."

Love the vibrant neon colors mixed in with the black gravel. Just be patient and realize that it's going to take a while to rinse it. Needs more plants but it makes the colors of the fish and other decor really pop. It really makes the tank look sharp and I believe the goldfish likes it, too. For reference, my tank is a 20 gallon tall tank. I would buy again if the price didn't double from last time. The smooth and small pebbles are great for people keeping corycats.
