Gravels and Substrates

Substrate is a vital component of your aquarium, affecting water quality, chemistry, filtration as well as the well-being of your tank’s inhabitants.

Choose your substrate carefully as different substrates are better in certain types of environment such as fish-only, freshwater, marine or planted.
