4-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).

9-Question. How do I clean my ActivFlora™substrate for initial use?
Answer: You do not clean it for initial use. For new setups, empty contents of bag into
aquarium
and fill with de-chlorinated tap water or
distilled water. ActivFlora™ will automatically bi-segment
into 2 layers
with finer grade substrate on the bottom.
If adding to an existing system, drain liquid 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

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.
