Aqua Natural Aquarium Substrate - Gold Pearl Fish Tank Substrate

DESCRIPTION Gold Pearl is, without doubt, one of Aqua Natural's premium aquarium gravels. When wet it gives off gold and soft brown hues. When dry, however, it is fresh, and its natural smooth roundness comes from being deposited in river plain flows coming from glacial alpine areas.Features: Aquarium safeReptile safePure Natural BeautyTriple Washed 100% Natural Aqua Natural is a world leader in both fresh water and marine aquarium substrates, natural decor and other aquarium products.

Simply rinse before use. Some substrates (particularly sands) naturally contain more fines than others and may require additional rinsing and more time to settle in an aquarium.Spread substrate evenly and fill with water slowly. We suggest placing a plastic bag over the area where you are filling with water to avoid stirring up the substrate.Once the tank is filled, start your filter. Any cloudy appearance should clear within a few hours(sands will take longer).
