Flourite®
- Premium natural gravel for the planted aquarium
- Good for the life of the aquarium
Overview
Flourite® is a specially fractured 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® 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. Flourite® is good for the life of the aquarium and need not be replaced.

Keith Knox –
I’ve used Flourite® in my planted tank for over a year and it’s held up well. The gravel is stable, doesn’t break easily, and supports healthy plant growth. No pH changes were noticed, which is a relief. Easy to rinse before use and looks natural in the tank.
Sue Lambert –
The 7kg size is perfect for a mid-sized aquarium. It’s porous and allows good root development. My plants have grown stronger since switching to Flourite®. No need for additional substrate modifiers.

Good quality gravel that looks natural and fits well in my planted tank. It’s stable and doesn’t shift much. A bit of dust was present initially, but rinsing solved that. Plants are thriving.
