APW, SLS or Xtreme either have it in stock or get it in.

Red Sea/Dupla is probably your best bet (same product although the Red Sea variety is of a higher quality ever since they bought out Dupla (then sold them off after they gained ownership of all the patents).

This is the product I am talking about LINK (http://www.aquariumproductswholesale.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=564)


Flora Root is a hard granule, high in natural laterite that is designed to be mixed with aquarium gravel, replicating the natural substrates in which aquatic plants flourish.

In nature, bacteria that inhabit these substrates break down root acids, enabling the roots to take up the nutrients they require as and when they need them.

To replicate this in the aquarium, Flora Root is supplied with a packet of ActiFlora (substrate bacteria) that become active only after their introduction into a moist substrate.


Features:

- Rich in Iron and trace elements.
- Encourages vibrant plant growth & vitality.
- To be mixed in new aquarium substrate.
- Add 10g / 0.35 oz for each 10 litres of water.
- Includes “Actiflora” – to increase the availability of minerals to the roots.
