How much gravel do you need?

As a guideline for the required amount of gravel:

• 2 kg bag: Sufficient for a 3-4 cm layer in an aquarium of approximately 30-40 liters
• 8 kg bag: Sufficient for a 3-4 cm layer in an aquarium of approximately 120-160 liters

Tip: For a natural effect, you can make the substrate slightly higher at the back than at the front (sloping landscape).

Instructions for use

Preparation:

1. Although the gravel is pre-washed, we recommend rinsing it briefly with clean water
2. Rinse in a bucket or sieve until the water runs clear
3. This removes any dust and fine particles

Application:

1. Ensure your aquarium is clean and dry (or use the wet method)
2. Distribute the gravel evenly over the bottom
3. Create a layer of approximately 3-5 cm thick
4. For a natural effect: make the back higher than the front
5. Carefully fill the aquarium with water (use a saucer to protect the substrate)

Maintenance tips:

• Use a gravel vacuum during water changes to remove detritus
• Stir the gravel lightly occasionally to prevent gas buildup
• Algae growth is clearly visible on black gravel - regular cleaning prevents this
• Black gravel retains its color - no discoloration over time
