broken and become smaller??? that's the only answer I can come up with
because when I set up this tank, I had more than I do now... I know I lost
some gravel to washing, but the flourite was and is on the bottom... when I
pulled the UGF plates, and looked at how much there was.... there was less
than I started with.... or just compacted, or smaller...

maybe it just 'seemed' to have dissolve.... maybe?

No, it does not dissolve. Not sure why you have less than when you
set the tank up, but it has never dissolved or broken down over time
in any time I've ever seen.
