Its appearance is best suited to planted aquaria, but may be used in any aquarium environment. Flourite 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 is not chemically coated or treated and will not alter the pH of the water. Although pre-washed, it should be rinsed before use to remove residual dust. Dust can also be minimized by filling tank slowly and dispersing water so that the Flourite bed is not disturbed. Slight initial cloudiness is normal and will clear rapidly (2–12 hours). This bag is sufficient for about a 5 cm (2 inch) deep bed in a typical 40 L (10 gallon) tank.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text\"\u003eRecommended use is 1 kg (2 lbs) for approximately each 200 cm\u003csup class=\"subtext\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"2\"\u003e2\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e (31 in\u003csup class=\"text\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"2\"\u003e2\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e) of tank bottom at a depth of 5 cm (2 in).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"width: 146px; height: 64px;\" id=\"rg_hi\" class=\"rg_hi uh_hi\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/\/t1.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQpUsO7VMyGK5iB_5RNrsBwAD5z8UUMyvYevKAM-nI81niAOuarIg\" width=\"312\" height=\"161\" data-width=\"312\" data-height=\"161\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Seachem","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":240541057,"sku":"","price":23.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Sand","offer_id":240541075,"sku":"","price":23.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Original Brown","offer_id":240541081,"sku":"","price":23.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/0405\/products\/61Ua_km1CPL._AC_SL1110.jpg?v=1600258495"},{"product_id":"tropica-aquarium-soil-3l","title":"Tropica Aquarium Soil","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTropica Aquarium Plants aims to increase the joy and experience of having aquaristics as a hobby.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTropica Aquarium Soil ensures good and active plant growth from the beginning and boosts the red plant shades.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is a complete substrate, which can be used without any other types of bottom layer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAquarium Soil is further an active bottom layer that lowers the pH value.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSuitable for aquariums.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Acres Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"3 Litres","offer_id":42609356898498,"sku":"","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 Litres","offer_id":42609356931266,"sku":"","price":38.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/0405\/products\/tropica-aquarium-soil-3-l.jpg?v=1603100557"},{"product_id":"tropica-soil-powder-3l","title":"Tropica Soil Powder","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTropica Aquarium Soil Powder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAquarium Soil Powder ensures good and active growth from the beginning, and boosts the red plant shades.
