Substrate

When i moved into my house, my back garden was full of gravel. This has been bagged in my garden for a year now, could i clean this and use in a tank?

If it is inert and clean then there's no reason why not.

Just check it doesn't have Sharp edges. If you're going to keep fish which dig sand would be a better bet

Ok thanks

It probably would be ok but I wouldnt risk it purely as I use chemicals on my pathways and gravel that stop weeds from growing for up to a year and this would be harmful to the fish.

I would buy some because they could be sharp and have chemicals.
