Set-up
Although it is pre-washed, because Flourite Red is a natural product, it may become dusty in transit and require rinsing before use to remove any residual dust.
When adding water to the aquarium, fill slowly to avoid disturbing Flourite Red substrate bed. Place a bowl in the aquarium and add water directly to the bowl, allowing water to overflow softly on to the gravel bed. Initial cloudiness is normal. To remove cloudiness, use mechanical filtration (such as filter floss). Use Clarity to accelerate clearing.
