    I'm using it for a 4ft tank.

    mix it with 50% lonestar/rmc pacific gravel.

    yes, its good.
    no basefert needed

    needs massive washing.

    search for seachem fluorite for articles

    no
    it's a substrate
    APPARENTLY what seachem says is that when you're using this, you don't need to use additional base fert
    however, i don't see how this product can entirely replace base fert
    afaik the only notable thing in there is iron

    Seachem Flourite is clay. It acts as a media for absorbing nutrients (ion exchange or stuff like that) unlike normal gravel which is inert as Chris said.
