COARSE Aragonite sand
Bahamian Aragonite Aquarium Sand is the ideal substrate for marine, reef, or African Cichlid aquariums .
It is a pure Oolitic Aragonite sand collected from the crystal clear oceans of the Bahamas, with no harmful tar, organics or impurities. This aquarium sand has unsurpassed buffering capability and helps maintain a natural pH balance of 8.2 without the constant addition of chemicals.
One kg of Oolitic Aragonite Aquarium Sand offers over 1 million sq. cm of surface area providing a huge space for housing ammonia, nitrate and nitrite reducing bacteria . Oolitic Aragonite Sand is the ideal grain size for reef tanks, fish tanks, plenum systems and refugiums .
Directions
Rinse material well in a bucket using clean water ( Do not use soap or other cleaning agents). Continue to rinse material until overflow water turns from a milky to light cloudy appearance. Any remaining cloudiness will disappear after a few hours of pump operation.
For best results when setting up a new aquarium,
place rinsed sand into empty aquarium then carefully fill with water
.
Start filtration system
. Wait until the water is clear enough to see the back of the aquarium and the chemical / pH /temperate are stable before adding fish and invertebrates.
With existing aquariums, rinse substrate as above and mix in small amounts into the established sand-bed over a period of several days . When using aragonite for African cichlids or other freshwater applications note that a slight cloudiness may persist until the aquarium cycles due to high rates of calcium carbonate dissolution.
