Seachem Laboratories Flourite Planted Aquarium Sand, Black, 15.4 lb

Picture a deep, dramatic underwater scape where vivid green plants and bright fish seem to pop against the floor of the tank. Seachem Laboratories Flourite Planted Aquarium Sand in Black helps you build exactly that. This generous 15.4 lb bag of specially fracted, stable, porous clay is made for the natural planted aquarium, and its black sand texture creates a rich, contrasting base for your aquascape.

• Specially fracted, stable, porous clay designed for the natural planted aquarium, so your rooted plants settle into a purpose-built substrate.
• Its appearance is best suited to planted aquaria, while still working in any freshwater aquarium environment you keep.
• The fine sand texture is most effective when used alone as a single, integral substrate bed across the base of your tank.
• Want a custom look? It may be mixed with other gravels, so you can shape the scape you have in mind.
• Gravel modifiers such as laterite are not necessary, keeping your planting routine straightforward.
• It is not chemically coated or treated, giving your plants and fish a clean, natural base.
• Flourite Sand will not alter the pH of the water, which helps you keep your aquarium chemistry stable.
• Seachem notes that Flourite Sand is good for the life of the aquarium and need not be replaced, so you lay it down once and move on to the fun part.
• The larger 15.4 lb size suits bigger planted tanks or gives you plenty of substrate to work with.
• The black coloring offers deep contrast that makes greenery and colorful fish truly stand out.

For aquarists who love a bold, gallery-style aquascape, the black sand finish does a lot of the heavy lifting visually. Spread it across the bottom, anchor your plants, and watch your tank come alive against that dark backdrop. It is a base built to support a planted aquarium you will enjoy for the long haul.
