Review on 🏝️ Fiji Pink Arag-Alive Aquarium Sand by CaribSea by Elizabeth Anderson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect bed of sand, she's alive!

The bags came with seawater and are not dry like most you will find on the shelves of your local fish shops, that's good! Carib Sea is one of my trusted brands when it comes to aquarium substrates and decorative stones. This mark is closely related to "aragonite", "living sand", "no waiting". Fiji Pink is the perfect bean size which I prefer. , does not deflate easily, ideal for snails, crabs, shrimp and worms. Although this sandbag will definitely cloud your aquarium during initial placement, as mixing 10% milk and 90% water would probably bother any hobbyist. Expect the talc-like powder to settle on the sand bed 12 hours after application, but will definitely disappear after 24 hours, possibly due to the clarifying liquid contained in the sand bag. Be sure to scrub the sides of the tank with a sponge to remove this limescale buildup. Within 48 hours everything will appear normal as if it were a well maintained tank. This will most likely help minimize turbidity if you have a sump with a 100 microton sock filter, making the whole process of waiting for cleaning a lot quicker. Either "living" or "dry" sand, both have their "advantages" and "disadvantages". I just love it when things add up!
