Gorgeous
Gorgeous substrate for any tank or enclosure. They came relatively clean but always worth washing anyway before adding to an aquarium. The color is beautiful and dark, very uniform without much variation between stones at all. Iâd definitely get this again for my next tank.

Itâs very fine, not really sand, but very fine small gravel. Good color quality.
Nice texture for a baby fish tank.

Easy to use with little to no dust
Itâs not sand as described but I love the pebbly look. I did no rinsing with hardly no cloudy ness I just put a platicar bag when pouring water and everything seems to be acclimating well. Would purchase again in the future

Good Purchase
They look nice but the only issue is they had so much dust on them. I rinsed them repeatedly for about 30 minutes and the tank was still cloudy by the time I put them in.

More like little river stones than traditional gravel – and that’s a good thing!
I really love this stuff. Lots of gravel is weird and chunky, but this stuff is smooth – it’s actual small stones, more oval shaped than traditional gravel. Was easy to clean, I swished it around a bunch in a bucket of water and then drained it after an hour or so, totally good. Excellent price ($13 when I bought it). Will be using in all my fish tanks going forward! This is a great brand.
