Very clean, very little rinsing!

Looks great on the back! I appreciated that it was very clean and didn't need much rinsing. That was a big bonus for me. I like the looks. Very happy with my purchase!

Cons
  • Long delivery time

Very nice pebbles

I hate washing rocks, pebbles, rocks for my fish tank. I have 20 gallons. for a long time and wanted to do something other than colorful stones. When I received these stones I started washing them and noticed that there was very little washing. There are many stones of different colors. I love variety. I recommend this product.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Insecure

Large Aquarium Gravel/Gravel

We have a 65 gallon aquarium with a gravel filter and pressure head. It took about 2.5 bags of pebbles in my aquarium to completely cover the filter and bubbler wand. There are also no issues with clogs or gravel getting into the powerheads. The stone is of sufficient size that you will not have any problems. I also like natural colors that give the tank a nice look.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Quality

Pleasant colours, natural look

The pebbles are larger than I expected, much larger than the typical 5 pound sacks of tiny rocks. These are real stones. Although I like that they are natural. It looks like there are different color variations, which is cool. I gave 4 stars because I was surprised by the size of the pebble and it wasn't what I expected. They will work fine although it's not my first choice of size.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Make sure it's the right size for you.

These are beautiful stones, in the photo they look exactly like the ones I've been buying from aquarium stores for many years, but some are almost twice the size. This is not a problem except they are large enough that excess feed can easily get between them and there is no way for catfish or other bottom feeders/cleaners to get at the feed. For this reason I would not recommend them for a regular sized tropical aquarium.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • ---

Gravel makes a world of difference in a pond!

So not specific to this pebble but wow, adding gravel and installing a simple pump cleans the water better than anything I've seen. No fancy water additives required. My biggest regret is that I didn't take any before and after photos! (And don't do it sooner) The product itself was packaged in thicker plastic than usual and I received it fully opened (no box). The package arrived undamaged and not a single stone was lost on the way, but this is quite a risky way to ship a stone!

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Not the best
