I've used flourite with good results - natural rust shale look with excellent runner development (contorted val's). One problem I encountered was the amount of rinsing I had to do but I always suspected that I recieved some old bags.
I also like eco complete. It's simular in texture to flourite but black instead of rust coloured. Why didn't you like it X-Treme? I've also used straight laterlite (beads) because I like the look of it but found it was too loose and the plants tended to uproot easily. I wouldn't do that again. It's intended as a substrate additive anyways. Tony, can't one of the stores special order it for you? I know Hidden Reef in Abbotsford carries it and does ship it but I don't know how much that would add to the cost overall. I could ask if you want.

I have always just used pool filter sand in my planted tanks with jolb plant spikes, how much difference does using florite make?
