Flourite + Flourite Black ?

airborne_r6 · 11-21-2008, 06:52 AM

Has anyone mixed regular Flourite with Flourite Black? If so do you have pictures of it?

I have three bags of Regular Flourite for my 40G but I think I am going to need at least one more bag. I like the color of the regular Flourite but was thinking it might look better if it was just a little darker. I don't like the all black substrate, thats why I went with the Flourite. I was hoping someone has a picture of the two mixed cause once I mix the two if I hate it I am stuck with it.

I think it will look good.

They will separate; Black Flourite is smaller grained.

I've got it mixed in my 90gal, you can check out the pics in the Photo/ Journal forum.

IDK why you wouldn't like the two mixed, but the bigger grains will migrate to the top over time. Since they're identical in color IMO it's not a big deal.

Thanks for your replies. I think I will just stay with the flourite regular. I dont want to deal with the separating gravels.
