FAQs
Are these pebbles safe for fish?
Yes, the pebbles are natural stones lightly polished to remove sharp edges, making them safe for most freshwater aquariums.
How many pebbles are in a 25 kg bag?
The bag contains 25 kg of pebbles. The number of individual pebbles will vary due to their natural range of sizes (2-5 cm).
Do I need to wash the pebbles before using them?
Yes, it is highly recommended to rinse the pebbles thoroughly under running water before use, especially for aquarium applications, to remove any dust or sediment.
Can these be used for outdoor landscaping?
Yes, they are suitable for outdoor use as garden mulch, for lining walkways, or around water features.
What is the color variation?
The pebbles are primarily white, but natural stone can have subtle variations in shade and may contain very minor flecks of other natural colors.
Can I use these in a reptile tank?
While generally safe due to smooth edges, ensure the pebbles are not small enough to be ingested by the reptile and that the substrate meets the specific humidity and temperature needs of your pet.
Troubleshooting
Pebbles appear cloudy or dusty in aquarium.
Thoroughly rinse pebbles again before placing them in the aquarium. If cloudiness persists after setup, perform a partial water change and ensure filter is running effectively.
Uneven distribution in garden beds.
Use a rake or your hands to gently spread the pebbles evenly. Consider using a landscape fabric underneath to prevent excessive settling into the soil over time.
Sharp edges found on some pebbles.
Although polished, rare imperfections may occur. Visually inspect pebbles before placing them in sensitive environments like aquariums or play areas, and remove any with sharp edges.
