So, I'm a new guy here and my tank is currently in the earlier stages of the fishless cycle.

I currently have red t-grade Color Quartz and I've decided that I want to go with a low-tech planted tank (no CO2 at this point). I wanted to know if red flourite would look okay with my substrate as none of my LFS carry the red version. I know it's signifigantly larger than my Color Quartz, but do will it look semi-natural? Would I be better off just changing my substrate at this point? It'll likely increase the length of my cycle.

Thanks,
Lamar

from 3M's website. It's lighter than this in normal lighting. It's probably close to the Tan

picture on their site.
 
That looks like powered chesses.
 
I say try a small sample. 3m looks kinda flat coloring right? but if u dont like it u just bought F.red.
 
The problem is that I only want to go with the fluorite if it's going to match. If I'm going to go through the trouble of changing the substrate, I'm going to go with Eco-complete.

I guess I'll pick up a couple of bags.
 
i got some on my floor that i just spilled... want a pic? its wet so u can see how it looks.
