Seachem Flourite Black Sand – 3.5 kg
Premium mineral-rich black sand substrate designed specifically for natural planted aquariums.
Seachem Flourite Black Sand is a specially processed, stable porous clay substrate designed to provide an attractive and natural foundation for freshwater planted aquariums.
Its fine-grain texture and rich black colour create a striking contrast against green aquatic plants, driftwood, and aquarium decorations while providing a suitable environment for developing plant root systems.
Unlike many decorative aquarium sands, Flourite Black Sand is not chemically treated or coated and will not alter the pH of your aquarium water.
This mineral-rich substrate is most effective when used alone but can also be combined with other aquarium substrates. Additional gravel modifiers, such as laterite, are not required.
Designed to last for the entire life of your aquarium, Flourite Black Sand provides a durable, attractive, and practical solution for planted aquarium enthusiasts.
