Natural Aquarium Gravel for Planted Tanks, Mixed Light and Dark 3–5 mm Pebbles in 3 L and 8 L Bags

Natural aquarium gravel brings a varied mix of light and dark pebbles to planted tanks and naturalistic aquascapes. Ultum Nature Systems Santa Fe Controsand combines cool and warm tones with differing pebble sizes, creating a riverbank-inspired accent that can contrast with an even base substrate and complement colorful aquatic plants and livestock.

The 3–5 mm gravel is intended for decorative placement in selected areas rather than complicated preparation. Rinse it gently to remove finer grains, then distribute the clean gravel where a streambed, riverbed or biotope-style detail is wanted. Its granule composition is described as supporting plant root anchoring, and the substrate can also suit shrimp and other bottom-dwelling species that sift through the bed.
