    • Keeps plants healthy.
Color: Stratum Size: 4.4 Pound (Pack of 1) Style: Substrate
I’ve delayed writing a review because I’m just not sure I was using it properly. First… this stuff is never going to rinse all the way. But was I even supposed to try? The more and longer I read about different aquarium set ups.., I’m sure I was doing it wrong. I believe and it’s just my opinion, if you use this as a bottom layer only for your substrate, cap it it or top it with a sand type substrate, that contains all the black dust and eventually breaks down into a more organic substrate layer. It’s definitely not for the “hey look kids Mommy got you a goldfish” setup. But if you’re looking for a more long term naturalized tank… yes, this stuff is good. My plants love it with no ill effects in a PROPERLY CYCLED TANK. ... show more

I heard fluval was great for propagating plants and decided to try it out. Totally works! I have had a very high success rate with every alocasia corm propagations and have used it to rehab plants that had previous root rot damage. Haven’t tried it in a fish tank though.

It has done a great job of rooting my cuttings. I am not sure if it is my favorite method yet because I can’t see the roots without pulling the plants out and the stratum is dense. The plants I have in it are doing well so far.

I’ve been using this for tropical plant seedlings and acclimating tissue cultures. The plants seem to like it better than straight perlite or leca, maybe because it has minerals in it. The dark color makes it easier to monitor roots

Brought a dying alocasia back to life… Transferred to the stratum and within a month the old leaf finally gave in and a new more healthy leaf emerged. Seeing signs of multiple new leafs coming as well. Easy starter medium for plants.

    • Love it!
Color: Stratum Size: 4.4 Pound (Pack of 1) Style: Substrate
Had this product on my aquarium bucket list for a minute as I have a planted tank. Finally caved and bought it and didn’t listen to the advice of not rinsing it. I didn’t use anything to obstruct the stream of water and the stratum got really disturbed and immediately turned all 5 gallons of water in my tank black. I was a bit worried but after around 2 hours it had cleared considerably. I had initially used it at 8 pm, when I woke up in the morning the next day the water was relatively clear but a little cloudy. It’s a very good media if not disturbed frequently. I found a lot of trouble keeping plants in media like gravel and sand but my plants stayed put in fluval stratum. It’s been around 3 days since, and the water is the clearest it’s EVER BEEN.
