Spectrastone Natural Walnut Gravel - Estes

**Product Name:** Spectrastone Estes Natural Walnut Gravel – Premium Freshwater Aquarium Substrate

**Product Description:**
Spectrastone’s Natural Walnut Gravel is a dependable, inert aquarium substrate that delivers a natural, warm‐toned look to freshwater aquariums, terrariums, and vivariums. With its reddish-brown walnut coloration and durable, non-toxic composition, this gravel provides a safe, pH-neutral base for fish, shrimp, aquatic plants, and other inhabitants. Because the stones are inert and coated for safety, they will not alter water chemistry or pH, making them suitable for a wide variety of aquatic setups.

Pre-washed and colorfast, Spectrastone gravel is designed to minimize dust and fines — helping to keep water clear and reduce initial cloudiness. It offers stable anchoring for decoration and plants, and provides a practical substrate layer for community tanks, planted aquariums, or terrariums.
