Seachem 495 First Impressions
My tank is not done yet.
I wanted white rocks that were vibrant. So if you are looking for bigger size, this is not it. Works great in my daughter aquarium. The color looks beautiful and natural in the tank. Purchased 9 bags of this for a new 180 gallon aquarium. I rinsed it before I put it in the tank. For reference, my tank is a 20 gallon tall tank.

Seachem 495 Final Thoughts
Love the look.
It was easy to clean and looks great in my bamboo glass vases! I'd recommend but just be wary of debris. It has lovely colors and I will be using ONLY this gravel in the future. I recommend doing it in smaller portions. It smells like chlorine and epoxy glue. The color mixture with the darker colors in it does that very well. The smooth and small pebbles are great for people keeping corycats.
