Flourite® Sand is a top - notch, specially fractured, stable, and porous clay gravel ideal for natural planted aquariums. Its aesthetic look makes it a perfect fit for planted tanks, yet it can be used in any freshwater aquarium setting. Using Flourite® Sand alone as the main substrate bed gives the best results, but it can also be mixed with other gravels. You don't need gravel modifiers like laterite. This sand isn't chemically coated or treated, so it won't change the water's pH. It's a long - lasting choice for your aquarium and doesn't need to be replaced. Key features include being a premium natural sand for planted aquariums and being good for the entire lifespan of the aquarium. The mineral composition (units = mg/kg, analyzed by Plasma Emission Spectrometer, EPA Method 6010 at the Univ. of Georgia Chemical Analysis Lab) shows values for various elements such as 10,210 mg/kg of Al, 124 mg/kg of Ba, etc. Available size: 3.5 kg.
Using Flourite® Sand is easy. First, clean the sand thoroughly before adding it to your aquarium. You can use it alone as the main substrate bed for the best results, but it can also be mixed with other gravels if you prefer. There's no need to use gravel modifiers like laterite. Just spread it evenly at the bottom of your aquarium. Remember, this sand won't change the pH of the water, so you don't have to worry about that. As for maintenance, it's a long - lasting product and doesn't need to be replaced. However, you can do a light siphoning during your regular water changes to remove any debris that might settle on the sand. Enjoy a beautiful and healthy aquarium with Flourite® Sand!
