Bleaching flourite
Hey all,
Would bleaching Flourite destroy its chemistry and render it useless in
regards to its
iron-bearing property? In the past, my tanks developed brush algae. I am in
the process of setting up a new tank from scratch, making sure to bleach
everything (plants, gravel, equipment, etc...). I tossed out the previous
substrate and have decided to go with a half Flourite / half gravel
substrate combo, but the more I think about it, I am leaning toward a 100%
flourite bed. In the event that the brush algae begins to grow over the
Flourite, I would want to eliminate it asap, and from experience, only
bleaching can do this (although I've heard of starving it to death which
I've never observed). Any comments?
