Description
Flourite Black Sand is a specially fracted, stable porous clay gravel with a grain size of 0,3 - 1 mm, for the natural planted aquarium. Its appearance is best suited to planted aquaria, but may be used in any aquarium environment. Flourite Black is most effective when used alone as an integral substrate bed, but it may be mixed with other gravels. Gravel modifiers such as laterite are not necessary. Flourite Black is not chemically coated or treated and will not alter the pH of the water.
Although pre-washed, it may be rinsed before use to remove residual dust. Dust can also be minimized by filling aquarium slowly and dispersing water so that the Flourite Black bed is not disturbed. Slight initial cloudiness is normal and will clear rapidly (2–12 hours). To shorten the cloudiness period use Clarity in conjuction with mechanical filtration (such as filter floss).

The sand comes in handy bags that can be opened easily by hand without scissors or the like. The sand is very dark and very fine, with no annoying chunks that you'd have to sort... (read more)

Bin sehr zufrieden.
Der Sand wird in handlichen Säcken geliefert, diese kann man ohne Schere o.ä. einfach per Hand öffnen. Der Sand ist sehr dunkel und sehr fein, keine störenden Brocken enthalten die man aussortieren müsste. Das Waschen wird von vielen als sehr mühsam und zeitrauben geschildert und einige sprachen auch von einen hohem Sandverlust durchs Waschen. Aus diesem Grund, bin ich von meiner gewohnten Technik (Eimer) abgewichen u. habe den Sand in einen alten Leinenbeutel gefüllt, diesen aufgehängte und kräftig mit dem Gartenschlauch bearbeitet. Es stimmt, der Sand muss vorab gereinigt werden.. was für eine Brühe.. aber ein Verlust blieb mir so erspart u. im Becken gab es keine Trübung. Der Sand selbst ist wunderbar. Seine dunkle Farbe kommt im Becken hervorragend zur Geltung, das bepflanzen fällt einem leicht, die Pflanzen werden gut gehalten. Beim befüllen des Aquariums wurde nur ein Pflänzchen aufgetrieben. Ich bin wirklich hoch zufrieden.
Excellent product with very good price. Needs to be washed first so you can remove the dust. Great for plants
The sand is really nicely dark and looks great. I washed it in a bucket, there was a lot of dust and, from the look of it, a lot of loss too. (read more)

Schön aber aufwendig
Der Sand ist wirklich schön dunkel und sieht super aus. Ich habe im Eimer gewaschen, hatte viel Staub und dem Eindruck nach auch viel Verlust. In meinem 50L Cube habe ich ca. 1/4 des Bodens mit einer ca. 4 cm hohen Schicht und den Rest mit ca. 0,5 - 1cm gescaped. Ein 7 kg Sack hat dafür gerade so gereicht.
