Upgrade the look of your aquarium with Black Gravel 2mm, available from Aquarium Haven & Brisbane Discus & Aquariums. With its sleek dark finish and practical 2mm grain size, this substrate creates strong contrast that makes fish colours stand out and gives aquascapes a crisp, professional look.
The 2mm size is a great all-rounder—easy to rinse, easy to vacuum, and suitable for a wide range of freshwater setups, from planted community tanks to minimalist display aquariums.

Why Choose Black Gravel 2mm?

  • Bold black colour that makes fish and plants stand out
  • 2mm grain size for a tidy look and straightforward maintenance
  • Great for planted tanks (pair with root tabs or nutrient base if needed)
  • Helps hide debris compared to lighter substrates
  • Versatile for community tanks, feature tanks, and aquascaping

How to Use

  • Rinse before use until the water runs mostly clear.
  • Add a 3–6cm layer (deeper if you’re planting heavily or creating slopes).
  • Fill the tank slowly onto a plate or bag to avoid disturbing the substrate.
  • For better plant growth, add root tabs under heavy root feeders.
Build a sharp-looking aquascape with Black Gravel 2mm from Aquarium Haven & Brisbane Discus & Aquariums—a simple substrate choice that makes everything in your tank look more vibrant.
