Collection: Gravel & Sands

The substrate material used in an aquarium may be purely decorative, or it may serve a particular purpose - such as forming part of the filtration or as a rooting medium for growing plants. The two most commonly used substrate materials are gravel and sand.

Struggled getting live mysis from my normal supplier - a few click later and less than 24hrs later..... 7 bags of live mysis for my seahorses! Efficient, competitively priced and the slickest ordering to "boot" - to be honest I'm considering swapping over full time if my regular supplier lets me down again. Fab & would order again from Charterhouse Aquatics any day of the week!
