Description
For a larger planted aquarium, the substrate has a big job: cover the floor, hold your plants, and set the visual mood of the whole tank. Seachem Laboratories Flourite Planted Aquarium Gravel in Dark is ready for all three. This 15.4 lb bag of specially fracted, stable, porous clay gravel is made for the natural planted aquarium, and its gravel texture in a dark tone gives your rooted plants and fish a clean, low-key base.
What makes the 15.4 lb Flourite Gravel in Dark a dependable foundation:
Specially fracted, stable, porous clay gravel designed for the natural planted aquarium, so your plants anchor into a purpose-built substrate.
Its appearance is best suited to planted aquaria, while still working in any freshwater aquarium environment you keep.
The gravel grade is most effective when used alone as a single, integral substrate bed across the bottom of your tank.
Building a layered look? It may be mixed with other gravels to shape the scape you want.
Gravel modifiers such as laterite are not necessary, keeping your planting routine simple.
It is not chemically coated or treated, giving your plants and fish a clean, natural base.
Flourite Gravel will not alter the pH of the water, helping you keep aquarium chemistry stable.
Seachem notes that Flourite is good for the life of the aquarium and need not be replaced, so you set it once and leave it.
The larger 15.4 lb size suits bigger planted tanks or gives you plenty of substrate to design with.
The dark coloring provides an understated backdrop that lets your greenery and fish stand out.
If you are scaping a roomy tank and want the plants and fish to shine, this bigger bag of dark gravel lays the groundwork without stealing the show. Spread it across the base, root your plants, and enjoy a foundation built to keep working for the life of your aquarium.
