Expert Tips for Using Gravel & Substrates
Petworld.ie recommends rinsing gravel and substrates before adding them to your tank to remove dust and debris. Layer nutrient-rich substrates beneath decorative gravel for optimal plant growth. For marine tanks, coral sand and crushed rock help maintain proper alkalinity. Regular substrate cleaning using a siphon or vacuum prevents waste build-up and keeps your aquarium healthy.
