Flourite® Black Sand
- Premium
natural sand for the planted aquarium
- Good
for the life of the aquarium
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.
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. To remove cloudiness, use mechanical
filtration (such as filter floss). Use Clarity™ to accelerate
clearing.
