Flourite® Red
- Premium natural gravel for the planted aquarium
- Good for the life of the aquarium
Flourite® Red 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® Red 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® Red is not chemically coated or
treated and will not alter the pH of the water. Flourite® Red is good
for the life of the aquarium and need not be replaced.
Set-up
Although it is pre-washed, because Flourite® Red 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® Red 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. To remove cloudiness, use
mechanical filtration (such as filter floss). Use Clarity™ to accelerate clearing.
