## Summary description

Aqua nova Gravel Dolomite + Basalt is a 5 kg bag of mixed aquarium gravel with grain size 5–10 mm, combining dolomite and basalt stones. Designed for freshwater and planted tanks, it provides stable substrate weight, supports root anchoring and aesthetic contrast, and contributes to mineral balance from dolomite. Suitable for aquascaping, decoration and biological filtration support.

## Long description

Aqua nova Gravel Dolomite + Basalt is a 5 kg bag of mixed aquarium gravel combining natural dolomite and basalt stones with a grain size of 5–10 mm. The blend is formulated for freshwater and planted aquariums where a moderately coarse substrate is required to anchor plant roots, stabilise the arrangement of decorative elements and provide visual contrast between lighter dolomite and darker basalt pieces. Dolomite contributes minerals that can help buffer water hardness locally in the substrate while basalt adds density and a darker tone for aquascape depth.
Advantages
The mixed composition of dolomite and basalt offers physical stability and varied texture without sharp edges, suitable for most freshwater species and plants. The 5–10 mm grain size promotes water flow through the substrate while preventing excessive compaction. The combination supports root anchoring for planted aquaria and provides contrasting colours that enhance aquascape design. As a natural mineral product, it does not contain added dyes or coatings.
Suitable for
Freshwater community tanks
Planted aquariums requiring stable root anchorage
Decorative aquascapes and contrast layering
Biological filtration support when combined with filtration media
Tanks with species that prefer moderately hard substrate materials
Key specifications
Weight per bag: 5 kg
Grain size: 5–10 mm
Material composition: natural dolomite and basalt blend
Colour: mixed light (dolomite) and dark (basalt) tones
Intended use: freshwater and planted aquariums
How to use
Rinse the gravel thoroughly in cold water until the runoff is clear to remove dust and fine particles before adding it to the aquarium. Spread the gravel evenly to the desired depth, typically 2–5 cm for general decoration and up to 6–8 cm in planted tanks where deeper substrate assists root development. Place heavier decorative items on top after setting the substrate. When planting, create small hollows and position roots gently into the gravel, avoiding compacting the substrate tightly over plant crowns.
Usage recommendations
For planted tanks, consider adding a nutrient-rich soil or root tabs below or within the gravel layer to ensure plants receive sufficient nutrients, since dolomite provides mineral buffering but not comprehensive plant nutrition. Monitor water parameters after installation, especially carbonate hardness, and perform regular vacuuming of the surface during maintenance to remove accumulated detritus without disturbing plant roots.
