Seachem Flourite Black
Flourite® Black is a specially fractured, stable, porous clay gravel designed for natural planted aquariums. Its appearance complements planted environments well and can be used in any freshwater aquarium setup. It performs best when used as a standalone substrate bed, though it may be mixed with other gravels. No gravel modifiers like laterite are required.
Flourite® Black is not chemically coated or treated and does not affect water pH. It is durable and long-lasting, and does not need to be replaced during the life of the aquarium.
Set-up
Although pre-washed, Flourite® Black may become dusty during transit. Rinse the gravel thoroughly before use to remove any residual dust.
When adding water to the aquarium, fill slowly to avoid disturbance to the substrate.

I used Flourite Black as the base substrate in my planted tank. The color looks great and the roots grow well into it. No pH changes were noticed, and the gravel stays stable even after several months. Easy to rinse and set up.
