Flourite

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 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. Although pre-washed, it should be rinsed before use to remove residual dust. Dust can also be minimized by filling tank slowly and dispersing water so that the Flourite™ bed is not disturbed. Slight initial cloudiness is normal and will clear rapidly (2–12 hours). This bag is sufficient for about a 5 cm (2 inch) deep bed in a typical 40 L (10 gallon) tank. Recommended use is 1 kg (2 lbs) for approximately each 200 cm² (31 in²) of tank bottom at a depth of 5 cm (2 in).

Available in the USA only.

Rinse well	September 21, 2006
Reviewer: Sarcare from Columbus, OH United States

Just a word to the wise, when it says to rinse before use, it means that your tank will be the consistancy of mud if you do not rinse it 10 or 12 times. It took me a good two hours to rinse mine, and even with a plate, my tank was still full of dust!
