looks suave
smaller grain size than i had expected. i wonder how it will act when i use my gravel vacuum for the 1st time, im worried it might get sucked up. looks brilliant - makes the fish and ornaments and plants stand out better. fish poop stands out more than with other types of gravel though, also waste food is more visible, but i suppose this makes it easier to spot to clean up. i bought 2 x's 8kg bags of this to split between my 64 l and 120l interpet fish pod/box. didnt need it all. i advise washing this before use, as it gave off an oily residue when first added to my tank. scooped this from the surface with a mug, even though i did wash it beforehand. i recommend this and will always use black gravel from now on as it just looks so good.
UPDATE: it can be sucked part way up the gravel filter, but in a year of use, iv only ever sucked up about 6 grains into my bucket so no big deal, in fact this is a bonus because it cleans the gravel on all sides and shifts all trapped debris. the...

Does what it says on the package. Good price and delivery charges. No reason not to buy if you are after black gravel and have heeded reviews of other makes that suggest an influence on PH levels. To date this gravel appears not to alter PH.
Fantastic!
I bought this product as I heard it was good quality. When it arrived, the colour of the gravel was exactly as described. Before I added it to my fish tank I gave it a wash; and to my surprise the water ran clear straight away! I thought it was going to be quite a chore cleaning, but instead it was the complete opposite. So after rinsing the gravel, I put it in to my tank and it looked great in contrast to the water and decorations I added.
Overall I would recommend this product as it lived up to further than what my expectations were!
