Aqua One Decorative Gravel 2kg Mixed Aqua Blue 7mm

Description

Aqua One Decorative Gravel 2kg Mixed Aqua Blue 7mm — Two-tone aqua and blue gravel blend for a watery look in small tanks

A single flat colour can look like a plastic tray; a blend of two close shades reads as water and hides the odd speck of debris between cleans. Aqua One Decorative Gravel 2kg Mixed Aqua Blue 7mm (SKU: 10283BA) is the 2 kg bag of Aqua One’s coloured gravel in the Mixed Aqua and Blue blend, turquoise and deeper blue grains mixed through the bag, listed in the 7 mm grade. Aqua One describes its decorative gravel as aquarium-safe stone in designer colours that brings colour and life into the aquarium, suitable for coldwater and freshwater tropical tanks and equally at home in pot plants, fountains and candle holders. The mix is a natural fit for underwater-themed tanks, mermaid or ocean ornaments and blue-lit betta set-ups.

Because the two colours arrive already mixed, there is no sorting or layering to do: rinse, pour and level. Gravel of this type weighs about 1.5 kg per litre, so the 2 kg bag is roughly 1.3 L, enough for a 2 cm bed in a tank with a 30 × 20 cm base or a generous feature patch in a 60 cm tank. The 7 mm grains listed for this SKU are coarse enough for a gravel cleaner to work through without lifting them out, and the open bed lets waste settle where the vacuum can reach it. Aqua One also sells single-colour Aqua and Deep Blue gravels for buyers who want to extend the blend with a border or a stripe of one shade.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Ocean-themed tanks: A sea-coloured floor under shipwreck, mermaid or coral-style ornaments.
• Blue-lit betta tanks: The blend picks up a blue or moonlight LED and deepens the effect.
• Hiding light debris: Two tones disguise specks between water changes better than a single pale colour.
• Vases and fountains: Aqua One suggests the same gravel for decor around the home.

Substrate & Placement Guide

• Rinse in batches: Half a bag at a time in a bucket, stirred until the water clears.
• Do not sort: The blend is meant to be random; pour it straight from the bucket and level with a hand.
• Depth of 2–3 cm: Enough to anchor small ornaments and plant weights without trapping excess waste.
• Vacuum, do not replace: A gravel cleaner pushed into the bed at each water change keeps the colours bright.
