Natural Color Aquarium Gravel Sprinkle Mix 3-4mm 5kg

A single-colour substrate can leave a community tank looking flat. Scattered through the bed, the 3-4mm sprinkle mix puts several natural shades under the water at once, so light catches the floor differently across the tank and fish colours read more strongly against it. Supplied as a 5kg bag.

Beyond aquarium fish tanks it works just as well in vivariums, in hobby and craft projects, and around the garden - it is an easy way to brighten 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.
