Aquarium White Gravel by Akwaria is a natural aquarium bottom substrate for aquarists creating a clean, light-coloured base in a freshwater aquarium. It is suitable for covering the aquarium floor and can be arranged to make routine debris removal easier.

Key Benefits

How to Use

• Clean the gravel with lukewarm water before use.
• Cover the aquarium bottom with the gravel.
• Allow the gravel layer to slope towards the back of the aquarium.
