Review on 🌱 Stable Porous Natural Planted Aquarium Substrate: Seachem Flourite Black Clay Gravel - 15.4 lbs by Brianne Young

Revainrating 4 out of 5

FYI: It's not black sand, it's clay gravel.

At first I got mad because I looked in vain at the picture that said "Flourite Black Sand" and when I received it I poured it into the tank without hesitation. My fault for not taking a closer look. Well I have fluorite sand and they are all kosher. Clay gravel and sand look great! However, gravel and sand release a crappy amount of clay dust into the water, like a nuclear winter hatch. milky ripples in the water with a jet from a canister filter. This is normal and I think the dissolved dust is even good for plants and aquatic life because it turns into a soup that allows the plant roots to absorb minerals that you would wash away if you washed and then added. I'm not worried about the fish. Have you ever seen the Mekong? And it's full of fish and life. just my thoughts Plants and fish are doing well and the water is clear. Take a magnetic scraper and wrap it with a piece of towel to scrape down the walls if you have leftovers. Generally, after a week, the plants look like they are taking root well.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • Vulgarity
