    Default Aquarium rock, pea gravel?


    0 Not allowed!
    I have a question about using pea gravel in my aquarium from Home Depot that is rinsed well verses a bag of pea gravel, more expensive for less at petsmart? Other types of rock I have in my aquarium have been cleaned, soaked in water and rinsed a number of times before I put it in with my fish. Thank you in advance for the help.

    Rocks are Rocks. As long as they are inert.

    Personally I am not a fan of pea gravel sized substrate as it tends to have many nooks and crannies that waste can get trapped in.

    A smaller particulate size will serve you better IMO/IME.
    Gas mileage isn't everything OIIIIIIIO
    Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
    Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
    Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
    A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.
