Natural Color Aquarium Gravel Sprinkle Mix 4-6mm 5kg

Uneaten flake and waste that disappears into a tight substrate is the usual reason a bed smells when you disturb it. Stepping up to 4-6mm leaves gaps wide enough for debris to drop through to where a gravel vacuum can actually reach it, and this mixed-tone grade comes as a 5kg bag.

The same high-quality gravel suits vivariums as readily as aquarium fish tanks, and plenty of buyers use it for hobby and craft work or general gardening, where it brightens 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.
