Natural Color Aquarium Gravel Sprinkle Mix 6-8mm 5kg

Undergravel filter plates and enthusiastic diggers both call for a chunky bed. At 6-8mm this is the coarsest sprinkle mix in the range - heavy enough to stay where you rake it, open enough for water to draw straight through. Supplied as a 5kg bag.

Aquarium fish tanks and vivariums are the obvious homes for it, but it is also an excellent hobby and craft material and a useful general gardening product for brightening up plant pots.

Working out how much you need

To reach a Two Inch (2") gravel depth in your fish tank, measure up and follow these three steps:

1. Multiply tank LENGTH by tank WIDTH in inches. Worked example: 47" Inches x 19" Inches = 893
2. Divide that figure by 10. Worked example: 893 / 10 = 89.3
3. Divide by 2.2 to convert to kilogrammes. Worked example: 89.3 / 2.2 = 40.5 KG REQUIRED

Rough guide for a 2" gravel depth

• 60cm / 2ft TANK = 25 kg
• 80cm / 2.6ft TANK = 30kg
• 100cm / 3.3ft TANK = 35 kg
• 120cm / 4ft TANK = 40 kg

Treat these as approximates - you may well want a deeper or thinner layer of gravel.
