3-Question.
How is it used?
Answer:
For new setups, empty contents of bag into aquarium and fill with
de-chlorinated tap water or distilled water.
ActivFlora™
will naturally bi-segment into 2 layers with finer grade
substrate settling on the bottom layer. If adding to an
existing system, lower tank level prior to introducing new
substrate and add slowly, while mixing.
ActivFlora™ Planted Aquarium Substrate is pre-washed by a
nutri-stabilizing process to preserve abundant trace
elements and reduce cloudiness when introduced to an
aquarium. Cloudiness can be further minimized by filling
tank at a slow rate so that the
ActivFlora™
base is not disturbed. Slight initial cloudiness is normal
and will clear rapidly (1–6 hours).

17-Question.
I
just put Activ Flora in my tank and its cloudy, why is it cloudy?
Answer:
ActivFlora™ uses a fine particle size
that can cause some temporary cloudiness after water is added.
This temporary cloudiness normally clears within 4- 6 hours but
in some rare cases could take up to 24 hours to clear (dependant
on filtration methods). To help reduce the disturbance of the
ActivFlora™
substrate during setup, place a bowl on the substrate and add
water in the bowl versus pouring new water directly on the
substrate. A simple water clarifier can be added to the
aquarium water if you wish to speed up the settling of the
particles in the water column. ActivFlora™'s
fine particle size creates a large area of macro-porosity for
stronger root growth and overall plant health.
