Coral Gravel
When it comes to setting up sea critter tanks, Coral Gravel should be your first choice base media.
Coral Gravel helps to reduce sediment getting kicked up when your sea pets are foraging at the bottom of their tank. If allowed, this sediment can rise up and eventually cover your décor such as “sea ferns” and coral which can look untidy.
More importantly, having a layer of coral gravel keeps your sea pets healthy too, because it keeps this “bacteria laden” sediment out of harms way. Coral Gravel traps your pet’s waste materials which then slowly migrate downwards. This is important because “natural acids” that form from this break down process are quickly neutralised by the coral gravel which then helps to keep your pets water sweet - what’s known scientifically as “alkaline” and alkaline water is what all sea creatures thrive in. It will also help to keep their water oxygenated and clean.
One of our gravel bags will fill a standard Sea Monkey® tank approximately 1 centimetre (½ inch), so if you are thinking of making a larger habitat for your sea pets than your average Sea Monkey® tank sized container, consider obtaining a kilo bag of coral gravel locally from a pet shop and save on the shipping.
If you do want to place an order with us for larger amounts of gravel please ask for a specific quote as we will need to work out shipping weight and then charge accordingly.
