Review on 🏝️ Carib Sea Arag-Alive Special Grade Reef Sand: Optimal 10 lb. Substrate for Vibrant Underwater Ecosystems by Veronica Ramos

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is an excellent grit for the most common reef type.

Caribsea is the leader in marine aquarium substrates. This is an excellent grit for most common reef aquariums; when you need a thinner 1 inch sand bed that doesn't have grains that get blown around by high currents (like oolite or sugar sands). Undemanding in care. In an established aquarium it cleans up quickly (unlike granulated sugar in 2-3 days) and corals, fish and inversions have no problem with it. The only downside is that it cannot be used to denitrify deep sandy soils. too large/porous for this and you should either use the gravel vacuum approach or add screen sands such as sea cucumber, sand screen starfish and/or Nassarius snail to your tank. significantly reduced when using CaribSea live sand products and is an excellent all-purpose grain.
