I have a 15 gal. with a gravel bottom, and at the time, it seemed like I had enough, but now from what I've read, it looks like I could use some more. So, I found some aquarium gravel in my basement (the wonders of having a dad who used to be in the hobby), so is it as simple as rinsing the gravel and then adding it? Would this cause any problems? Thanks,

Cory

I think gravel is supposed to be baked not boiled.

Baked weird that would take a while

It wouldn't take that long to bake it, I used to bake my hermit crabs gravel whenever I cleaned their tank.
