Ok, Stupid question time.

There are no stupid questions, just silly answers...

#1: How much flourite per gallon if I wanna use it with gravel? (Tank
is a 55g tall)

I used 4 bags of flourite and 2 bags of similar colored gravel, near the
same size. I'd guess 6 bags for your 55, but I agree with NetMax, 90% of
people mix it, to make it go farther...

#2: Is there an easy way to remove the Laterite from the current
gravel?

Maybe just chunk it... Sorry about the cost... but hold on a minute....

#3: Could it be the amount of water movement/filtration I have? A
friend of mine has never had this problem, and he is the one who
recommended Laterite to me, he uses it without problem.

If you have alot, I mean ALOT of movement, then you're really just stirring
it up yourself... How about running your HOB filter, ONLY.... give it a day
or so to settle down... See what happens... alot of it IS trial and error...
It is totally possible you are pushing too much water around and the
laterite can't settle down enough, allowing it to become suspended inthe
water column...

#4: Does anyone else use Laterite without this problem?

I've only and always used Flourite... I love the look of laterite, but I
started to use it in a 10g, and ended up taking it back, it was too light,
like potting soil... Just didn't like it.. I got black onyx sand instead...
