Coverage Guide
As a general guide, plan on approximately 1 pound of substrate per gallon for a shallow 1-inch substrate bed. A 10 lb bag can provide approximately a 1-inch depth in many 10 gallon aquariums, depending on tank footprint and aquascaping layout.
Actual coverage may vary depending on tank dimensions, desired substrate depth, hardscape placement, and aquascaping style.
Setup Tips
Rinse the substrate thoroughly before adding it to the aquarium to help reduce dust and initial cloudiness. Add water slowly over a plate, bowl, or plastic bag to avoid disturbing the gravel bed.
For planted aquariums, use root tabs or a nutrient-rich base layer for heavy root-feeding plants.
