Aquarium Gravel Calculator

Before anything else, we want to let you know that we have stores located in Hoppers Crossing and Ferntree Gully.

Here’s our Aquarium Gravel Calculator. If you want a quick and easy way to calculate how much substrate you need for your fish tank, you’ve found the right page. Use our simple Aquarium Gravel Calculator below.

Firstly, select if you are putting gravel or sand in your tank.

Secondly, enter the Length and Width of your Aquarium. Use the calculator on the left for Centimetres or the one on the right for Inches.

Finally, enter the desired height of the substrate (not the size of the Aquarium)

Then the amount of substrate needed will appear at the bottom.

 

 

Most importantly, make sure you wash your Aquarium Gravel and Sand thoroughly. However, some Aquarium Gravel comes pre-washed. There are almost always small particles and broken down gravel, making your Aquarium water cloudy after adding substrate.

 

Furthermore, It is a good idea to have a bucket around the home beside your Aquarium so that you can prevent other chemicals and foreign matter from entering your aquarium system. As a result, washing gravel will be easy and not very time-consuming. After that, fill the bucket roughly 1/3 to the top, then fill the bucket with water until the water level is approximately five centimetres above the gravel. Once you stir the gravel around with your hand a few times, then drain the water, repeating 3 or 4 times until the water you drain from the bucket is relatively straightforward.

 Repeat this process until you have washed all of the gravel.

See below for an example of substrate volume worked out using our Aquarium Gravel Calculator.
