Fluval Flora Any Good

[Deano37]

Hi all i am new to fish keeping and i am thinking about getting a fluval flora to start a planted tank as i love the design and compact size, anyone had one or know any links to forums about this product ? i love the design of the fluval products, i am currently reading up about the cycling of tanks etc and i know some ppl will say get a bigger tank but this size is perfect at the moment for my living conditions lol any help would be appreciated thanks Dean

i would also buy a small heater to have tropical fish

I have the Fluval Shrimp Stratum in my planted Nano and I think that is pretty much the same thing. It is good stuff. It is very soft and has a texture like clay. If you rinse it well (without squashing it) then it will not cloud the water and unlike some of the other plant substrates, it does not release ammonia. I topped mine with JBL Manado which is a pain in the bum to plant in due to its lack of weight.

I have the Fluval Flora, is a great little tank. The co2 is a bit naff but does work. the light is very strong and my plants seem to thrive in there!

Go for it!

ps. I hated the plant substrate, horrible just mucks up the water.
