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.
