Pettex Roman Gravel Alpine White 8 kg

I recently added this black gravel to my aquarium and overall I’m very happy with it. The deep black colour makes the fish stand out beautifully and gives the tank a clean, modern look. It really transforms the whole setup. When I first added water, I’ll be honest — it looked quite messy and cloudy. Even after rinsing, there was still some dust that made the tank murky. However, once I turned on the filter, everything cleared up in less than 24 hours. After that, the water became crystal clear and the gravel looked fantastic.

Bought this for my shrimp tank in midnight mix blue. Its small and gets everywhere but its the best I have used. Its a lovely deep colour and looks great when the tank light's on. I wanted a sea bottom effect that would give the tank a proper under water theme and with real plants and seashell hidey holes for the shrimps i am so pleased with the effect. I have made it an uneven bottom with high points and dips this gravel is great for aquaplaning. It helps the shrimps when looking for food its easier for them to move about. I definitely recommend it. My shrimps recommend it, and I'm chuffed to say the shrimplets do too. I'm positive I saw some teeny weeny ones this morning.

bought before happy came on time too

smaller grain size than i had expected. i wonder how it will act when i use my gravel vacuum for the 1st time, im worried it might get sucked up. looks brilliant - makes the fish and ornaments and plants stand out better. fish poop stands out more than with other types of gravel though, also waste food is more visible, but i suppose this makes it easier to spot to clean up. i bought 2 x's 8kg bags of this to split between my 64 l and 120l interpet fish pod/box. didnt need it all. i advise washing this before use, as it gave off an oily residue when first added to my tank. scooped this from the surface with a mug, even though i did wash it beforehand. i recommend this and will always use black gravel from now on as it just looks so good. UPDATE: it can be sucked part way up the gravel filter, but in a year of use, iv only ever sucked up about 6 grains into my bucket so no big deal, in fact this is a bonus because it cleans the gravel on all sides and shifts all trapped debris. the sinking food is ALWAYS found by the angelfish as it stands out against the gravel, so this is a bonus, rather than it lying around rotting. the fish do ingest the gravel sometimes, but realise and spit it out and are totally fine. set up a planted tank with this gravel. nutrient medium was recommended by aquarists, but the gravel size seems excellent for plant growth, gives good anchorage but lets nutrients surround the roots. just bought another 16kg (2x8) for my newest tank as it is so good.

What a bargain delivered free on Amazon. Enough gravel to cover the base of a tank 60cm x 30cm, approximately 1 inch deep. Nice and white! Easy to rinse the gravel and it didn't take long for water to run clear in a colander. Perfect!

The gravel didn’t require much rinsing at all. Sometimes you get gravel and it feels like it’s still dirty after four rinses, this one was clean after the first rinse! I still did another couple of rinses just to be sure, but there was hardly any dust and dirt after the first rinse. The purple and whites of the crystals are beautiful, and they’re all roughly the same size. In my tank I mixed them with 4kg of white gravel, and it adds a nice variation. Once they’re in the water, it’s not really easy to see the purples as they’re subtle and not bright. I’ve added some photos of my tank with the lights on and off so you can see how they look. Overall they are great quality and I would buy again!

l am very happy thank you

I like the size of the individual stones, but the colour is way off jet black. There is a lot of tone variance in it, which overall, makes it more like an anthracite colour. In my aquarium makes a huge difference and throws off the other colours in the tank which would normally pop against jet black. I had a jet black gravel from another source in my aquarium before for years, and this one is no way near close. Shame, because the product title says otherwise.

Gravier d'une jolie couleur et suffisamment gros pour couvrir le fond d'un aquarium. Par contre, il vaut mieux le rincer avant au risque de salir l'eau lors du remplissage.

Es perfecta, para un acuario de 60L 2kg van perfectos. Tenía miedo de que tiñera el agua, pero ya lleva una semana en el acuario y así es como se ve! Da mucha luz al acuario, combina muy bien con las plantas y da sensación de frescor y luminosidad. Recomiendo enjuagar las gravas siempre antes de poner en el acuario.

Bonjour d très jolie malheureusement très salissant après trois mois ont voient les crottes coller sur les pierres uls sont devenu marron choisir une autre couleur Ps attention bien les nettoyer avant de les mettre dans l aquarium car tres poussiéreux

Super schnelle Lieferung, Menge für ein kleines Becken ausreichend. Allerdings sind leider einige weiße Steine mit unter gemischt, nicht tragisch aber deshalb nur 4 von 5.
