Overview
Flourite Black Sand 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 Black Sand 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 Black Sand is not chemically coated or treated and will not alter the pH
of the water. Flourite Black Sand is good for the life of the
aquarium and need not be replaced.
Set-up
Although it is pre-washed, because Flourite Black
Sand 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 Black Sand 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. Initial cloudiness is normal.
