Hi All,

I have a small bucket full of some rainbow colored aquarium gravel. The 'paint' has chipped or peeled off many of the pebbles, and it appears underneath the color the bare gravel is actually translucent, light cream, and light brown.

I know the gravel is aquarium safe because it used to be in my old tank for many years.

Does anyone know if there is any way to remove the color from the gravel?

Thanks!
 
I guess i'll just get new gravel then. I was just curious if there was any cheap way to strip the unused gravel. Thanks guys.
 
you could either try soaking it in bleach, but it would be a long process to rinse it to get it safe again, or try powerwashing it. That would more than likely make a giant mess though. I'd just buy new stuff.
