Does light grey gravel exist?


Does light grey gravel exist? I've searched every off- & on-line store that I can think of but none of them carry grey gravel.

Check out Salty Slate 07320 from Estes'. It is found at the bottom of the page under Specialty Substrates.

Seachem's Onyx Sand and Gray Coast Calcite are a bit darker color of gray. These are identical products in different packaging. The Gray Coast Calcite comes in 3kg larger bags and it is usually found cheaper.

Gray Coast Calcite 10kg: http://www.seachem.com/Products/prod...GrayCoast.html

+2 on the turface. I got some pro league in gray and it looks great. It's one of the cheaper substrate options too...

Can be a little hard to find though. Try your local John Deer or Lesco.
