Tanganyika Mix Pebbles

Tanganyika Mix Pebbles

Tanganyika Mix Pebbles are a natural aquarium gravel, used as a premium bottom substrate for your tank. They suit aquarists who want a natural-looking base layer with a practical grain size of 3-5 mm and an easy-to-maintain tank floor.

Key Benefits

• Natural bottom substrate that gives your aquarium a finished, natural look
• Gravel grain size of 3-5 mm (0.12-0.20")
• Positioned correctly, it helps dirt collect at the front of the aquarium, where it is easy to remove
• Can be used in planted aquariums when combined with a feed substrate or feed granules underneath
• The colour changes when the pebbles become wet, so you can watch the true tone come through once they are in the water

How to Use

• Wash the gravel thoroughly with lukewarm water before use. Use water only.
• Cover the bottom of the aquarium with a layer 3 to 10 cm (1.2" to 3.9") thick.
• Allow the gravel to move to the back of the aquarium. This ensures dirt always collects at the front, where it is easy to remove.
• If you have living plants, first apply a layer of feed substrate or feed granules, then add the gravel on top.

Suitable For

• Aquarium owners looking for a natural bottom substrate
• Planted aquariums, when a feed substrate or feed granules are laid underneath the gravel
• Hobbyists who want an easy-to-clean tank floor

Specifications

• Gravel size: 3-5 mm (0.12-0.20")

Always wash the gravel thoroughly using only water before it goes into the aquarium.
