"Happy gardening!"

I use a hybrid of the Walstad Method, and this stuff is perfect. I use a hybrid of the Walstad Method, and this stuff is perfect. At least any visible to the naked eye. The pebbles are a perfect size for 30+ gallon tanks. I have a 90 gallon aquarium with a footprint of 18 by 48 inches. Just make sure you rinse it out REALLY good, before adding to your aquarium. If you have to bury tank decor that doesn't have suction cups then you need more.

POPETPOP Final Thoughts

"Fantastic gravel!"

The color of the gravel makes the blue in my Tetra's and Gourami's pop. I am disappointed that there seems to be nothing special about this gravel. These colors combine to give an overall color of light brown. Just do a proper rinse, and you will be fine. I also found a DEAD spider in the gravel! Although I had to rinse it about 5 times to fully get ALL of the dust out. Aside from the size, the appearance of this gravel is what stands out the most.

"Looks great!"

I decided on this particular brand of gravel because of Amazon's add-on program. I used this for a path in a 22 gallon aquarium. Just do a proper rinse, and you will be fine. It really makes the tank look sharp and I believe the goldfish likes it, too. Not sure why there is so much bad feedback for this. I rinsed it about 3-4 times and felt satisfied it was good. They served their purpose, but had to be the dirtiest rocks I have ordered.

POPETPOP Final Thoughts

"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.

They're like large pebbles that are the size of your pinky-nail. This is not the colored synthetic aquarium medium. Really just rinsed a little and ready to go.

I envisioned the bag being bigger since I ordered a 50lbs.

POPETPOP Final Thoughts

"Beautiful gravel."

There is some sand and dirt mixed in. I just wanted to post a picture so you can see how much comes in a pack. Stir periodically and then your good to go! Lovely colors and everything i was looking for! Unlike most, I didn't purchase this gravel for its ability to glow. 5 inches of gravel, so you could use more or less depending on tank size. I planned on spending 24-48 hours removing all the dust in washes and soaks.

I use a hybrid of the Walstad Method, and this stuff is perfect. There is some sand and dirt mixed in. Unlike most, I didn't purchase this gravel for its ability to glow.

"It's just what I wanted."

I wanted white rocks that were vibrant. This is not the colored synthetic aquarium medium. I have bought 2 bags of this gravel. I filled with filter water ad let sit for a day before relocate fish. I use a hybrid of the Walstad Method, and this stuff is perfect. Don't own a blacklight so can't tell if it glows or not. It has lovely colors and I will be using ONLY this gravel in the future.

"I split the 15."

Bigger than normal aquarium gravel, nice colors, good quality, no smell. Although I had to rinse it about 5 times to fully get ALL of the dust out.

Spectrastone 40708 Final Thoughts

"This is your in between!"

My Vallisneria and amazon swords grow just fine in this substrate. Color is good contrast to the Beta. It worked really well and still allowed new stems to pop through. I've been using it now for a couple of months and nothing has happened to them. This is the real deal mother earth approx. This is not the colored synthetic aquarium medium. Wash gravel well before use, and its pretty good.

I would buy again if the price didn't double from last time. Will definitely purchase again when needed. I really love this natural gravel, really makes my 20g High look natural!

The gravel adds amazing color and the fish and snails seem to like it. So will just see if color stays-God willing! So if you are looking for bigger size, this is not it.

"Nice gravel."

I included a picture which doesn't do the product justice. I would buy again if the price didn't double from last time. This was the cheapest DIY project with a big wow factor. I've ordered their midnight pearl color and it is beautiful too. The little package of clarifier included is not nearly enough. I didn't even need the water clarifier, and I found it in the bag. Works great in my daughter aquarium.

The gravel size is exactly as described in the product description- 2 to 4mm. If you have to bury tank decor that doesn't have suction cups then you need more. Really just rinsed a little and ready to go. They are rocks, what more do you need. I bought two bags for my 55 gallon. I rinsed it before I put it in the tank. Like everyone else says wash it before putting it in your tank.

I planned on spending 24-48 hours removing all the dust in washes and soaks. Removed pebbles and refilled for the 3rd time. 5 inches of gravel, so you could use more or less depending on tank size. So far, really happy with how it looks in my small tank. A little bigger than what I wanted but I still used it. I absolutely love how the rocks glow in my tank!

"I love this stuff."

This was the cheapest DIY project with a big wow factor. I purchased to put into a dry river rock. Snails and fish dont seem to mind the switch from sand. It's a gemstone quality gravel, not the topfin crap from petsmart. We bought this for a glo fish tank. The gravel adds amazing color and the fish and snails seem to like it. Needs more plants but it makes the colors of the fish and other decor really pop.

"The color is very pretty."

So if you are looking for bigger size, this is not it. I bought a few bags of this and it's nice. The rocks look great and arrived very quickly. I am disappointed that there seems to be nothing special about this gravel. I did rinse it off before putting it in the aquarium. Just make sure you rinse it out REALLY good, before adding to your aquarium. Purchased 9 bags of this for a new 180 gallon aquarium.
