User questions & answers

Question:	Would one bag of these pebbles be enough for a 5 gallon tank

HOW IT WORKS:

The exact reason that these pebbles can give off light in darkness is that they can absorb and store light, either natural or artificial, especially visible light of wavelength under 450 NM.

When in darkness, these pebbles give off light that is visible and fairly bright during the first 2-3 hours. Then they became less and less bright as there is no light around for them to absorb. The dim afterglow can last 8-10 hours.

How much the glow is visible at some degree depends on how dark the surrounding is, the darker the more glow can be seen.

When there is visible light around, these pebbles begin another circle of absorbing-giving off light .

Actually these pebbles give off light at the daytime too, but only far less visible as in darkness.

So, when you first receive these pebbles, they might not glow in darkness, because they might have given off all light they absorbed in dark package box. Put them under light sources for 5-10 minutes, they glow in complete darkness again.

In theory, these self-luminous pebbles can function for up to 15 years.

walkway decoration

In darkness, they glow and help to show walkway, path, driveway, floor, or decorate garden, aquarium, fish tank, plant pots, bonsai.

plants decoration

using these decorative stones in our garden and potted plants inside.

bottle decoration

With the dreamlike glow in darkness, they could produce special effects.

fish tank decoration

glow in the dark rocks for fish tank.

Warm tips:

The darker the surrounding and the more exposure to visible light, the more bright glow can be seen.

When applying these glow pebbles, do not stack them on top of each other but spread them out flat for full exposure to light.

These glow in the dark pebbles are light up by solar or LED light.

How much sunlight do these need per day to light up every night?

two - three hours. They'll still glow even when the sun isn't strong.

Question:	About how many cups of rocks is this
Answer:	That’s all physics. So to siphon water back to the tank you would do the same process as you did to get it out. The only difference is that you will need to have the water container you intend to put back in the tank elevated above the tank where you want the water to go. This thing has some powerful suction - so it may blow your substrate or sand all over the place if you aren’t careful.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will these work under a blacklight
Answer:	I did not test them under black light but they are ordinary stones and I have my doubts that they will work under black light.
Question:	How many bags do you think it would tale for a 10 gallon tank

Question:	How many bags would I need for a 5 gallon aquarium? It's 10" x
Answer:	I always ended up with a gallon ziplock bag of my rocks for my 10gallon fish tank. So i'd get 4 or 5 'bags' of these for yours
Question:	How difficult is it to do weekly/monthly cleanings? Is waste very visable between cleanings, as apposed to using gravel
Answer:	They actually grow algae fairly easy. I have two nerite snails that spend a good bulk of their time trying to keep them clean. These rocks are also not very abundant, and if you have more than a five gallon tank, you will be spending quite the penny in trying to cover the whole tank with these rocks. That being said- they are quite lovely, given the right aquarium lighting.
