Seachem Laboratories Fluorite Black Clay Based Plant Gravel

Excellent

After reading lot about seachem fluorite black i purchased it, but the result was not at all satisfactory. Simple waste of money.

Received bag double bagged in another bag. Original bag has cuts in it. I paid for a new item, not a seconds item. Disappointed.

I love it

Ordered 3 bags. One came partially open, and when I dumped it out to rinse realized that someone had partially filled it with a more gray product. Now I have to order a new bag and ship one back. I have a feeling some other person is going to get it. Deduct 2 stars.Otherwise it does need to be rinsed a bit. I did it in a plastic tote outside and it wasn’t as bad as some people make it out to be. It is pretty murky at the beginning though so I wouldn’t skip this stepMore like a coarse sand than pea gravel. Just the colour I wanted.

Bought this for my new 75gal tank that will be planted. I love it, it looks amazing and most of the reviews complained about it leaving a thick grey film or really cloudy water well it says right on the bags to rinse it, so that what I did, I used an old wash tub with a window screen over it and a medium sized colander. I did one bag at a time, poured it into the colander and rinsed it with a low flow of water, mixing it until the water ran mostly clear. Put it in my tank and the water was a little cloudy but 24 hours later with my filter running the water is crystal clear. I would definitely buy this again for another aquarium.

Ho iniziato ad allestire un acquario nuovo e ho ordinato 28 kg di fluorite Seachem, conoscendo la qualità di questa ditta. Arrivano due scatole con quattro sacchetti da 3,5 kg anziché quattro sacchi da 7 kg. Dopo aver acquistato tutto il necessario per l'allestimento inizio a lavare la fluorite e a metterla in vasca. Con i primi quattro sacchetti tutto ok, granulometria corretta e fondo pulito già alla partenza. Apro il primo sacchetto della seconda scatola e vedo che è molto polverosa. Guardo meglio il sacchetto e vedo che è Fluorite Black Sand anziché Fluorite Black. Ho contattato il venditore per la sostituzione, vediamo come si comporta e da li potrò aggiornare il feedback.
