Scatter gravel suggestions

[Worshiper]

I am no aquascaper but i finally managed to scape something I am happy to view so Im gonna keep it. 🙂 .. in my mind i wanted the main stone to showcase a rhino horn..
I want to add more scatter gravel which I have similar to ones i just tried out for the pic in the front but it looks rubbish.
Any ideas on how should I place the scatter gravel other than just scattering it around like the name suggests? 🤭


Excuse the dirty tank glass and poor photography. Its the cleanest its ever been honestly 🤣

I think the scape looks really nice, but you’re right your scatter stones are a little out of place, you could try these? https://www.wio.eco/product-page/silver-shadow

I was going to get a 2kg bag of river stone from wio but the postage was 30 euros! No thanks

Thanks Castle. I got similar ones. I just dont know how to scatter them to make it look more natural. 🙂

Assuming you're going to add plants I wouldn't worry too much about that bit... soon enough it will look natural. For now I would just spread the scatter stones out - perhaps more towards the front of the tank...

Otherwise I like what you got cooking...

Cheers,

Hi all,

Can you get some dark coloured, rounded (water washed) gravel or pebbles - <"GRADED GRAVELS, INCREASING SIZES - CONTRASTING">?

You might be able to <"PYO"> from a local stream (or beach) or get them from a Garden Centre etc. In terms of placement larger nearer the main rocks and smaller nearer the front, but not too ordered.

I think @Tim Harrison has a journal? somewhere? with natural looking gravel placement*.

Edit: Found it <"High-energy soil-substrate layout - updated"> .
