Seachem Flourite Red
Seachem Flourite Red is a substrate of the highest quality. Composed of specially fractured stable porous clay gravel designed specifically for use in natural planted aquariums. The mineral-rich gravel is an attractive rusted red colour that is not chemically treated or coated and will not alter the delicate pH balances within the tank. The gravel is most effective when used on its own, but it may also be mixed with other types of substrates without any negative reaction. Gravel modifiers such as laterite are not necessary for the success of this gravel.
Despite the substrate being pre-washed, it should be thoroughly rinsed before use to remove any residual dust. Small amounts of initial cloudiness are normal and will clear quite quickly. For added convenience, it is recommended to rinse the gravel under running water for at least 10 minutes before placing it in the aquarium.

I’ve used Flourite Red in my planted tank for over six months. The color is vibrant and the gravel holds up well under water. My plants have grown steadily, and there’s no pH shift. It’s easy to rinse and sets up quickly without needing any additives.

The texture is perfect for root development. I didn’t need to add any laterite or other modifiers. The red color adds a natural look to my tank and the plants are thriving.

It’s a solid choice for planted tanks. A bit of cloudiness at first, but it clears up fast. The gravel is stable and doesn’t break down easily. Slight improvement in plant health after a few weeks.
