Gravel Tidy™  Sub Gravel Seperator.

Gravel Tidy in Freshwater Aquaria Gravel Tidy is the perfect method of separating a top layer of sand or gravel from a sub-bed of peat or planting medium, allowing easy access into the gravel for planting or decoration, or for burrowing fish, without the usual explosion of peat fouling the aquarium water. Gravel Tidy is ideal for use with coloured gravels, separating the upper coloured layers above from the plain gravel below. Gravel Tidy may also be used in the middle of ordinary gravel, preventing large Cichlids etc. from laying bare the aquarium bottom or the under gravel filter.

Gravel Tidy in Marine Aquaria Gravel tidy is the ideal answer to the problem of sinking coral sand. It will keep the coarser gravels in their place at the bottom of the aquarium, and allow disturbances of coral sand either by human hand or marine animals, without intermixing layers, which destroy the appearance of the aquarium, as well as reducing the efficiency of the biological bed. Gravel Tidy makes stripping out a marine aquarium far less time consuming, as the separate gravels remain apart. Gravel Tidy, with its unique design, is impervious to saltwater and will not rot or curl in use. Its perforations are large enough so as not to be blocked by sand, ensuring a free flow of water.

Instructions for Use First check that the Gravel Tidy fits correctly. Due to the differing internal measurements of aquaria, it may be necessary to trim with a pair of scissors for an exact fit. Lay Gravel Tidy over the undergravel filter, if used, and cut out holes for the up-lift tubes. Remove Gravel Tidy and install base layer of gravel, ensuring that this lies flat. Lay the Gravel Tidy over the base layer, ensuring the edges curve downwards. Put in the top layer of gravel, pouring onto a large plate to prvent undue disturbance of gravel.
