Seachem flourite black substrate is a 7kg bag of premium porous clay gravel specifically engineered for planted aquariums featuring a natural black coloration that creates a dramatic backdrop for aquatic plants and fish. Flourite Black is one of the most established and trusted planted aquarium substrates in the hobby having been used by aquascapers worldwide for decades with consistently excellent results. The seachem flourite black substrate is made from a specially selected and processed clay that has been fired to create a stable porous structure. This porosity is the key to its effectiveness as each grain contains microscopic channels and surfaces that serve multiple functions in a planted aquarium. Plant roots penetrate and anchor into the porous grains creating a stable root network that prevents plants from floating or being uprooted. The porous structure also provides enormous surface area for beneficial nitrifying bacteria to colonize contributing to biological filtration in the aquarium. Unlike enriched substrates that leach nutrients and eventually become depleted Flourite relies on the water column and root zone supplementation for plant nutrition. This means it never expires or needs replacement. The substrate is permanent and will not break down soften or decompose under normal aquarium conditions. The gravel-sized grain is larger than sand providing excellent water circulation through the root zone which promotes healthy root development and prevents anaerobic pockets. The black color does not fade or change over time and does not alter water chemistry making it safe for all freshwater fish shrimp and invertebrates. The 7kg bag provides coverage for a standard planted aquarium at the recommended substrate depth of 5-8 centimeters. Rinse before use to remove dust.
