Description

Quartz Gravel is the Rolls-Royce of our range. Natural Quartz not only looks wonderful but has also been shown to help reduce the build up in the aquarium. This is partly due to the huge surface area of quartz which offers added space for the establishment of tank cleaning bacteria. Quartz sparkles underwater due to the many light reflecting facets and is a striking substrate that contrasts well with aquarium plants such as anubias and amazon swords.

  • Beautiful Black Sand
The media could not be loaded. Just set this up tonight in about an hour of time. Was sketch about getting the black sand and reading the reviews. However, if you do as everyone says and clean it, and then when you think the waters clean then rinse it one more time. I did this about 8 rinses in a kitty litter bucket we only use for freshwater. This picture is 5 minutes after I added the last bucket of water. Key point is to use a bowl and set it in the bottom and let it float around as you pour the water in, hitting the bowl with the water every drop. Crystal clean and looks amazing. Highly recommend this product if you do the right steps! Ps as you can see in the video it is not entirely black, but I love the color contrast and how it glistens off the LED light. ... show more

  • Really dig the look
Looks really nice in my dragon stone aquascape. Only downside is that it has some yellow pieces that I'm afraid my fish will mistake for food, but this hasn't happened yet. Really good for the price.

  • Sparkly!
It's very beautiful in my tank. Yes, there are some other color pieces mixed in with the black. In my opinion, it makes it look better and more natural. I'm very pleased with the look.

  • Sparkles when dry, not too dirty, does have some lighter rocks in it, but is pretty good regardless
To address other reviews: It does sparkle, but primarily when dry. It does say it is quartz gravel. However, when wet/underwater, it doesn't really sparkle much. It's not that dirty of gravel. If you ever buy natural gravel from any brand, it's always dirty and needs lots of rinsing, even when prewashed. Just being moved around, the gravel will grind away on itself and create dust. I'd say that I didn't have to wash this gravel nearly as much as the super cheap stuff at Petco, but i still rinsed about 3-4 times to get it to stop clouding water. It's also kind of in a space between gravel and course sand. It's one of those situations where we have to start debating the semantics of sand vs gravel before we can really call it one or the other. It's very fine gravel, or very course sand. It's mostly a bit smaller than the listing says, as i don't think that many of the pieces are actually around 2mm. There are some lighter-colored pieces in the mix. There aren't a ton of them, but enough that I could see fish confusing them for food or something. However, I doubt it's as big of a problem as people make it out to be. I personally like the black gravel with a small amount of lighter bits, as it makes it feel more natural and gives it more of a visual "texture". I can understand being disappointed if you want all jet-black gravel, but honestly I've never seen any gravel that was entirely black without it being artificially colored. I like this gravel because it's a good size for my pea puffer. It's not as problematic to work with as normal, finer sands, as very few pieces in the mix will float in the water column, even when being stirred/cleaned in a big bucket full of water. I find it attractive and easy to clean. My actual only complaint about it is that it's very pricey compared to many regular sands or gravels. ... show more

  • Beautiful coarse sand
This is not fine sand nor is it small gravel. It's large sand. It is pretty easy to work with unlike sand and is easy on the bottom dwellers unlike gravel. Naturally colored it will bleed out a little while preparing. I did several rinses and soaks over 2 days before putting in the tank. It sparkles under the light but with no glare. vacuums pretty easily, you will get some up the tube but just let it sink to the bottom of the bucket, pour out and pinch it back into the tank. Simples. Would re-order again. This is the only thing IMO that competes with Carib Sea Supernaturals Peace River which is the perfect substrate in all situations. Just hard to fine and boring in color. ... show more

  • Fine
Just what I was looking for. Good deep black with shine. Depending on how you view it, it is either very fine gravel or very coarse sand. You will of course need to rinse it if you put it in a fish tank, because dust will form during transport, but mine was for plants so could be used right away. Bag was sturdy and did not sustain damage. The bag is not resealable. ... show more

  • NOT GRAVEL and NOT SOLID BLACK
It's decent course ground sand. But it's NOT gravel like the description heading says and it has very noticeable large brown peices in it. Not the quality or consistency I'm used to seeing from this brand in person in the store. If you need true black for an aquascape I would not buy from here. If I had not already opened it I would have returned it. ... show more

  • Very nice but must rinse as many times as possible
This looks very very nice in tank. But i would recommend rinsing at the very least 3 times and running filter for several hours before adding fish back in
