Seachem Flourite is a premium, fracted, and porous clay gravel designed specifically for enthusiasts maintaining natural planted freshwater aquariums. It serves as an excellent foundation for healthy root development, providing long-term structural stability without requiring replacement or chemical additives. While it offers superior biological and physical benefits for live plants, users should note that it requires a thorough initial rinse and careful water filling to prevent clouding the aquarium during the setup process.

Flourite provides a great physical substrate but does not contain added nutrients. You may need to use root tabs or water column fertilizers depending on your plant species.
No, Seachem Flourite is a permanent substrate and does not need to be replaced.
Yes, it is safe, though it has a rougher texture than fine sand. Ensure your fish are not sensitive to coarse gravel before introducing them.
No, Flourite is chemically inert and will not contribute to water hardness or pH fluctuations.
It is generally not recommended for under-gravel filters as the particle size is fine enough to potentially clog the system or restrict flow.
This is typically due to residual dust. Allow the filter to run with fine filter floss, which will trap the particles; the water should clear within 24 hours.
Ensure the plants are buried deep enough into the Flourite layer. If they continue to float, use aquarium planting tweezers to anchor them deeper into the substrate.
Before adding Flourite to your aquarium, you must rinse it thoroughly. Place the substrate in a bucket and run water through it, stirring gently until the runoff is clear.
To ensure your tank remains clear during the initial fill:
Flourite is compatible with all freshwater fish and invertebrates as it is inert. No specialized maintenance is required; simply vacuum the surface gently during water changes to remove debris.
