For plant growing, go with the Flourite. For asthetics, go with the onyx sand, it looks better IMO.

What do the others think of a blend of the two?

BTW, Newt, your location spot is empty and the place you found the sand and Flourite isn't mentioned.

The Look of Onyx..

I could be wrong, but I thought Onyx and Flourite had the same benefits for great plant growth - without using laterite 'in clay form'. From SeaChem's website, it seems both have excellent nutrients for the live plants.

I prefer the look of Onyx in that it is a 'sand' rather than 'gravel'. I also think the bottom dwellers like loaches prefer a finer substrate.

Some may not like the gray color of the Onyx, as Flourite is reddish/brown. HTH
