It wasn’t as bad to clean as some gravels are, before putting it in the tank. Just washed it part by part, nice and easy. The gravel itself has lots of colours from pinks, purples, whites, and bits of blue and green too. This seems to be discontinued from nearly all other places so although it is a fraction dearer than normal, it’s prob because you will have trouble getting it else where. I’ll be buying a second bag for another aquarium before they sell out. It’s easy to clean once in the aquarium too (using an electric gravel cleaner). The pieces are a nice size, and very nice mix of shapes and colours. Would recommend. The item picture doesn’t really show how good it really is. Review: Small stones for fish. - Switched to gravel from our original sand setup and much prefer it as it's much easier to clean and the fish appear to prefer it too. It took a fair amount of washing. I can't remember exactly how long but it ran into days rather than hours. The initial wash was simply to remove the surface debris, I then left it to soak for around 24hrs and then rinsed it again. Another long stand was followed by a final rinse and then it was ready to go in... within minutes of it going in my tank was completely clouded but that was due to the filter choosing that exact moment to give up and die. Typical! With a new filter installed the water cleared within an hour or so and my little swimmers were transferred back into their new-look home. I've not had any complaints so far so must assume that they like it. They're all eating well so I'm taking that as a win. It's expensive, considering it's simply dug out of the ground and packed, and it's absolutely identical to the stuff already on our driveway, but nobody forced me to buy it. I probably wouldn't buy it again but mainly because I'm really tight rather than the product being rubbish. ## Features - Makes the perfect planting medium due to its finer size - Suitable for bottom feeders and barbed fish - Increased surface area allows for improved anaerobic activity ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004CSAYNO | | Batteries required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 88,415 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) 159 in Aquarium Gravel | | Colour | Natural Lakeland | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (359) | | Date First Available | 15 Nov. 2010 | | EU Energy Efficiency Label | A | | Item Weight | 8 kg | | Item model number | 52525 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 44.7 x 29.2 x 10.3 cm; 8 kg | | Pet Life Stage | All Life Stages | | Quantity | 1 | | Size | 8 kg (Pack of 1) | | Specific Uses | Active | ## Images ![Pettex Roman Natural Lakeland Gravel 8 kg - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814Gad1nj0L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Would this be suitable for a biorb rather than their own rough substrate? How many bags for 60 litre please?** A: Long while since I bought this. For 60 ltr possibly 1 bag. But don't use with catfish as too sharp for bottom dweller. Black fine gravel is nice. Hope this helps. Do take Fishkeeping very seriously. **Q: How many bags for 110 litre tank?** A: I used one bag on my 60 litre tank so 2 bags should be enough. Mine is about an inch deep. It's more about the dimensions of the bottom. Mine is 30cm x 60cm, so measure the width and length. Hope this helps **Q: Is the natural gravel very fine, im lookimg for something less chunky than standard gravel** A: It is fine. It takes approx 35 pieces to cover a 10p coin. **Q: Could anyone tell me if the sunstone gravel would fall through a under gravel filter Thanks Lynn** A: I have never had an under gravel filter, but i got this gravel as its a cross between stone and sand. It is small stuff, makes it easier for planting plants. Its much smaller than whats in my other tank which has normal gravel in. As i dont need plants in it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great looking gravel for our aquarium *by J***B on 14 April 2022* Our aquarium needed a new gravel and this is an excellent option.
