Top FIN Aquarium Gravel

A good quality gravel bed is needed in the aquarium to assist in mechanical and biological filtration. Top Fin Premium aquarium gravel fits the bill, and with such a wide variety of terrific colors, you can choose one or more to accent the overall look of your aquarium. Use up to 1.5 lb of gravel per gallon of tank. Rinse thoroughly in cold water before using. Never use soap or detergent. When filling your tank, place a saucer on the gravel and pour water onto the saucer. This will prevent the water from disturbing your layer of gravel. The aquarium gravel will become a home for beneficial bacteria to keep your aquarium healthy. Once your aquarium is established, do not wash the gravel. Just use a gravel vacuum once a month to clean out loose particles.  Caution: Gravel may contain minerals that affect water pH. Monitor your water pH after adding gravel and adjust as necessary to avoid sudden pH changes.
