Gravel for Aquarium

Sand or gravel is the main component in the aquarium.
Gravel build an aquarium looks beautiful and gives an impression of nature.
Gravel also serves to keep the water clean, as it can keep the dirt to remain under the gravel. Gravel also serves as a place to play and hide the fish.
There are many kinds of shapes, sizes and colors of gravel that can be used. There are natural and artificial gravel,
Artificial gravel must first be soaked in water for 24 hours before going into the aquarium.
We recommend using gravel with varying sizes in the aquarium to allow more space between the gravel that can withstand dirt without holding water circulation.
