Beschreibung
A bright base bounces light back up through the water and noticeably lifts a dimly lit tank. This 5kg bag of 4 – 6mm white gravel does that at a grade coarse enough for waste to drop through to the siphon.
High-quality throughout, it can go into aquarium fish tanks or vivariums, serve as a hobby and craft material, or be used for general gardening – it is ideal for brightening up plant pots.
Specification
- 4 – 6mm (gravel)
- Supplied in 5kg 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.
