AquaNatural Bio Substrate and Dry Substrate kit for New and existing Aquariums, Midnight (BIOKIT003)

This item is listed as two items. One bag of regular subtrate and one bag of bio subtrate. I only received one bag. My son is super disappointed that we have to send this back. Not paying $40 for one 10lb of gravel.

These are nice rounded pebbles and the color is going to be very nice with some green plants. I like a dark bottomed tank, but black is too boring. This is going to look really nice once I get it set up

very nice substrate, easy to clean and looks great. however, even though its prewashed and screened, do your self a favor and rinse the substrate out anyway before adding and cycling your tank. there was small debris in it and the rinsing water came out visibly brown tinged for 2 rinses. not a deal breaker as it is very nice substrate, and 2 rinses was all i needed to do which is much better than other substrate

not sure how my plants would be reacting without it, but once my mote carlos roots got to this substrate theyve been growing in beautifully without co2. the color is great and there is very minimal clouding when adding into a tank. rocks are also decently heavy and can handle a fast flow

If you’ve decided against sand and are looking for an alternative, I highly recommend this substrate. Have it in 3/4 of my freshwater aquariums with 6 different species of fish and some mystery snails. Very tiny so works with my cories. Rinsed the non-bio bag in a bucket with tap water for less than 15 minutes, then combined it with the bio substrate and into the tank. Water was completely clear by the next day. Helped jumpstart my cycle along with some used filter media. Highly recommend. Just make sure you read the back of the bag and get the ratio right when mixing the two bags.
