Hugo Kamishi Quartz Light Gravel
Hugo Kamishi Quartz bright 1-2mm
- The Quarts bright gravel provides a great looking substrate for your aquarium
- We always recommend that you rinse any substrates before placing them into your aquarium
- Gravel in any aquarium enhances the look but also has other functions
- The most important function that gravel serves is to provide a home for beneficial bacteria. Those bacterial colonies are necessary to eliminate waste produced by the fish, leftover food, and plant debris in the aquarium. If the bacteria don’t have a comfy gravel bed to live in they will find other places, but may not grow in sufficient quantities to keep the aquarium safe for your fish.
- If the tank is left with a bare bottom, it will be necessary to change the water more frequently to maintain water quality.

Great product. The size is perfect for my tank. I rinsed it as recommended and it looks natural. The bacteria have settled well, and I don’t need to change water as often.
