Review on 🐟 Spectrastone Shallow Creek Regular: Enhance your Freshwater Aquariums with a 5-Pound Bag by Kristi Erickson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Eh, good. I think (updated)

Well unfortunately this bag of pebbles I received today (quickly I must add) is not at all the quality of the first bag I ordered a few months ago have. I searched up and down the aquarium gravel, tumbled and smooth. I don't like the typical rough look because it's harder to keep clean. And spiny ones on my armored catfish feeders. I would say 25% of them are the same as the regular old rough rocks I might pick up in my gravel driveway lol! In addition, this bag was very dusty. I split the bag in half. And the second half I counted literally 13 times, I rinsed it before the water ran clear. I'm not exaggerating, I counted. This is bad! I'm disappointed but will probably buy again just because fine gravel is so hard to find. The color is pleasant. UPDATE: I received my 3rd bag today and it is WORSE than the other two. shuffled many larger stones the size of a coin. Big disappointment. I took off a star and won't buy it again. Please note I MUST have had it because due to poor babysitting during my vacation my tank had to be completely wrecked and reused with all new stuff.)
