## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this be suitable for a biorb rather than their own rough substrate? How many bags for 60 litre please?**
A: Long while since I bought this.  For 60 ltr possibly 1 bag.  But don't use with catfish as too sharp for bottom dweller.  Black fine gravel is nice.  Hope this helps.  Do take Fishkeeping very seriously.

**Q: How many bags for 110 litre tank?**
A: I used one bag on my 60 litre tank so 2 bags should be enough. Mine is about an inch deep. It's more about the dimensions of the bottom. Mine is 30cm x 60cm, so measure the width and length. Hope this helps

**Q: Is the natural gravel very fine, im lookimg for something less chunky than standard gravel**
A: It is fine.  It takes approx 35 pieces to cover a 10p coin.

**Q: Could anyone tell me if the sunstone gravel would fall through a under gravel filter Thanks
Lynn**
A: I have never had an under gravel filter, but i got this gravel as its a cross between stone and sand. It is small stuff, makes it easier for planting plants. Its much smaller than whats in my other tank which has normal gravel in. As i dont need plants in it.

    LOVELY GRAVEL & EASY TO CLEAN
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 May 2023*

The best gravel I have ever purchased and it is easy to clean through, unlike others on the market.  Very natural and compliments Dragon Rocks perfectly.  Have purchased 3 bags so far to use in 2 tanks.  All inhabitants seem to enjoy it.  My Aqua-Scape includes planting and so far so good.  They seem to be rooting well in it though are supplemented by weekly feed.  It also includes a sandy area and compliments this beautifully.  Will try and upload photos as soon as I am able.  Will definitely purchase again and highly recommend to starter or expert enthusiasts.

Is a really nice cream colour, looks great under lights for a brighter natural colour. Photo doesn't to it justice!

    Small stones for fish.
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 August 2020*

Switched to gravel from our original sand setup and much prefer it as it's much easier to clean and the fish appear to prefer it too.It took a fair amount of washing. I can't remember exactly how long but it ran into days rather than hours. The initial wash was simply to remove the surface debris, I then left it to soak for around 24hrs and then rinsed it again. Another long stand was followed by a final rinse and then it was ready to go in... within minutes of it going in my tank was completely clouded but that was due to the filter choosing that exact moment to give up and die. Typical!With a new filter installed the water cleared within an hour or so and my little swimmers were transferred back into their new-look home. I've not had any complaints so far so must assume that they like it. They're all eating well so I'm taking that as a win. It's expensive, considering it's simply dug out of the ground and packed, and it's absolutely identical to the stuff already on our driveway, but nobody forced me to buy it. I probably wouldn't buy it again but mainly because I'm really tight rather than the product being rubbish.
