Aqua Natural Marine Aragonite

Aqua Natural Marine Aragonite

Aqua Natural Marine Aragonite is a substrate designed for marine, reef, and African cichlid aquariums. It is Calcium Carbonate derived from marine aragonite which is biogenic (created by living organisms) and naturally re-ocurring.

Bahamas sand is raw , naturally renewable marine aragonite sand that is 98% pure calcium carbonate. The grains are Marine (egg-shaped) and smooth. It is tasteless, odourless, dustless, and sustainable. Combined with its near chemical purity, size consistency, and small grain structure, Bahamas aragonite possesses numerous advantages making it a superior source of calcium carbonate.

Key Features and Benefits:
pH Buffer: It has a high buffering capacity, which helps maintain a stable and natural pH of 8.2 in marine tanks, reducing the need for chemical additives.

High Purity: It is composed of up to 98% pure calcium carbonate.

Biogenic & Sustainable: The aragonite is created by living organisms and is a naturally recurring resource. Using it helps protect coral reefs.

Large Surface Area: One kilogram of the sand offers over 1 million sq. cm of surface area, providing an excellent home for beneficial bacteria that help with the biological filtration of ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites.

Physical Properties: The grains are smooth, tasteless, odorless, and dustless.

Versatile: It is suitable for a variety of setups, including reef tanks, fish-only tanks, plenum systems, and refugiums.
