Category: Aquarium Substrate

Flourite is a specially fracted stable porous clay gravel for the natural planted aquarium. Its appearance is best suited to planted aquaria, but may be used in any freshwater aquarium environment. Flourite® is most effective when used alone as an integral substrate bed, but it may be mixed with other gravels. Gravel modifiers such as laterite are not necessary. Flourite is not chemically coated or treated and will not alter the pH of the water. Flourite is good for the life of the aquarium and need not be replaced.

Set-up

Although it is pre-washed, because Flourite is a natural product, it may become dusty in transit and require rinsing before use to remove any residual dust.

When adding water to aquarium, fill slowly to avoid disturbing Flourite substrate bed. Place a bowl in the aquarium and add water directly to the bowl, allowing water to overflow softly on to the gravel bed (a sheet of bubblewrap works great too). Initial cloudiness is normal. To remove cloudiness, use mechanical filtration (such as filter floss). Use Clarity to accelerate clearing.

Jason ★★★★★

Swapped out my old gravel for this clay substrate and my Amazon sword finally stopped floating away—the porous texture holds the roots perfectly. The dark color makes the fish really pop, too.

Evelyn V. ★★★★★

The porous clay texture grabs plant roots almost instantly, and I didn’t have to rinse it much before adding water. It’s been a month and the gravel still looks deep and natural, no cloudiness at all.

Isabella ★★★★★

Been using this in my 10-gallon planted tank for a few weeks now, and the roots are grabbing hold much faster than with plain sand. The grains have a nice natural reddish-brown tone that makes the plants really pop.
