AQUA DELLA aquarium gravel pebbles, black, 2 kg

AQUA DELLA aquarium gravel pebbles, black, 2 kg provide a dark, natural-looking substrate for freshwater and marine aquariums. Supplied in a 2 kg pack, these pebbles are intended for use as substrate or decorative ground cover. The gravel helps anchor plants and stabilise ornaments and décor while creating contrast that highlights fish colours and planted features. Rinsing before use is recommended to remove surface dust and fine particles.

Advantages

Black aquarium gravel from AQUA DELLA offers a neutral, low-reflective base that enhances visual contrast in aquascapes and home tanks. Its natural pebble appearance supports plant anchoring and décor stability without introducing bright pigments that may affect light balance. Available in a convenient 2 kg pack, the gravel is suitable for partial substrate renewal, decorative top layers, or full coverage in smaller tanks. Simple preparation—thorough rinsing—makes it quick to install.

• Freshwater community tanks and planted aquaria
• Marine and brackish aquariums as a decorative top layer
• Highlighting fish coloration and ornaments in display tanks

How to use

Rinse the gravel thoroughly with clean water until runoff is clear to remove dust and fine particles. Spread an even layer on the aquarium bottom to the desired depth, taking care around filtration inlets and heater tubing. For planted aquaria, use a deeper layer in planting zones and create slopes or contours as required for aquascape design. Combine with nutrient layers or root tabs if using heavy planting, and avoid introducing the gravel directly into tanks with very young or delicate livestock before ensuring water parameters remain stable.

Usage recommendations

The product is suitable for general home aquarium use; always rinse before installation and monitor water clarity after first filling. When mixing with other substrates or adding fertilising layers, install in stages and check plant health and filtration performance to maintain stable conditions.
