🐠 Seachem Fluorite Black Sand Substrate: A Premium 7.7lb Aquarium Essential Review

I bought a bag. It filled my 2x3 gallon tanks perfectly. nothing left I only washed it 2 times in a bucket. After that I stopped because I didn't want fine sand particles to fly out = less sand. This is the first time I'm adding sand to my tanks, so don't get mad at me. I then placed it in my aquarium (half filled with water at the time, with a food bag on top) and then gently ran my hands to remove bubbles and help with dust. Then I filtered this water.

The pictures show the bathroom was a mess. Small particles washed with water could not be collected. Very dusty. No matter how…

Asked about removing the dusty presence in this one. Got many helpful replies. What I did may seem unconventional and considered environmentally unsafe for my aquarium babies, but they are happy and healthy so I believe it worked like magic and could save you time. Water is filtered through, much is lost this way, but is then added to the tank. It didn't work, it was like fog and I got scared. So I used the hose that came out the doors, stuck it in the side of the tank, let it fill about 3…

I wish there were more detailed instructions on how to get started with this product. It is sand and very fine dusty sand. I flushed for a good 30 minutes as directed and added to my JBJ 3G Picotope. After 24 hours I still couldn't see through the water and there was about 1-2 cm of brown dust on the black sand. Then I took out some water and changed it, but to no avail. I found another seller here with 42 reviews to see what others have done. I started from scratch and followed the advice of…
