Beschreibung
White substrate shows every speck of debris, which is precisely why some aquarists choose it – nothing hides, so nothing gets left. Two kilos of 4 – 6mm covers a small tank, a vivarium floor or a display piece.
It is not only an aquarium product: vivariums, hobby and craft projects and general gardening all suit it, and it brightens up plant pots nicely.
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.
