Beschreibung
A 2kg bag goes a long way when colour is an accent rather than the whole bed – a band of blue along the front of an aquarium, or the floor of a small vivarium display. The grade is 4-6mm.
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.
Specification
- 4 – 6mm (gravel)
- Supplied in 2kg bag
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:
- Multiply tank LENGTH by tank WIDTH in inches. Worked example: 47″ Inches x 19″ Inches = 893
- Divide that figure by 10. Worked example: 893 / 10 = 89.3
- 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.
