Default Flourite Questions

I've decided to use Flourite as my substrate, but I've got no
experience with it. I'm wondering how much to use in my 75g. What is a
good depth? Any guidance is appreciated.


The manufacturer's recommendations are too low, IMO. They give you a depth of
2", and I prefer closer to 4". For a 75 gallon tank, I would use 8 bags.

Of course, if you prefer a shallow substrate, or are planning to cut it with
plain gravel, get less.

Did you get enough plant clippings, BTW? I didn't respond when you posted your
notice because I'd just pruned my tank and sent the clippings to someone else.
But I think the tank needs pruning again...
