Pettex Roman Gravel Aquatic Roman Gravel 2 Kg Pewter Sand

The media could not be loaded. This sand is easy to use and relatively clean. I’m not sure why people seem to be confused re the colour or expected a different colour as it’s clearly labelled pewter which is a silver / light gray which is what this sand is. It’s not white as some reviewers have said it’s not “sand” coloured it’s a very light gray. If you have very strong lights it might appear almost white. I did not wash mine as I don’t like scraping with wet sand but it cleared quickly. You need to be extremely careful when cleaning glass with a magnet as this type of sand is devastating to glass if it gets caught under the magnet it really scratches. I have used several types of colours and textures from this brand and I’ve found them to be great for small projects where you don’t need tons of sand or gravel and good value as well as being a clean product.I don’t generally use it for growing plants for that I use Fluval Stratum . In the most recent scape I used stratum on half the scape where most of the plants are. You could use a plant soil under this or you could just use this sand and use root tabs to give the plants something to use for food.

Good clean sand, I've been using these for years and never found snails and no need to wash if you fill you tank slowly

No complaints it’s a nice sand which doesn’t create much dust had more than what I needed

thank you

Nice colour

Good size and very light sand

does exactly what it says on the tin

This is my 3rd tank set up with this sand and I will not use any other sand. It’s a nice looking sand but the best part is, barely any rinsing to clean the dust off. Done in under 5min. Other sands I have tried (35tanks) need rinsing for days and still cloud up the tanks. No cloud at all came off this sand
