- Contains the broad spectrum of natural marine bacteria found in the ocean
- Additional specially selected strains of marine bacteria
- Creates a natural biological balance
Arag-Alive creates a natural biological balance, and makes cycling a new aquarium faster and safer. Live rocks and most invertebrates can be added immediately. Gradually introduce fish within the first 3 weeks, and do not exceed one inch of fish per 5 gallons during this time.
Fiji Pink - This soft pink colored, 100% aragonite substrate is a good intermediate sand size product. The precise 0.5 - 1.5mm grain size combines some of the animal friendly properties of fine sand such as ingestability and low resistance to burrowing, but with better diffusive flux properties and good porosity. This is also the standard choice for reef aquariums at 1 pound per gallon.
CaribSea Arag-Alive Saltwater Gravel - Special Grade Reef Sand was originally engineered to be used in Jaubert (plenum) systems. It may also be used in Berlin systems as a static bed. It is “soft belly safe" as well as “sifter safe".
- Engineered to be used in Jaubert (plenum) systems
- Soft belly and sifter safe
- May be used in Berlin systems as a static bed
Directions: General Use: For best results, use at least 1 pound of AragAlive! per gallon of seawater. For deep sand beds use 2 pounds per gallon. Do not rinse. AragAlive! may also be used to seed CaribSeas dry aragonite products. AragAlive! compresses new tank cycle time and suppresses initial ammonia spike. Live rocks and most invertebrates may be placed in aquarium immediately. However, gradually introduce fish within the first 3 weeks, and do not exceed one inch of fish per gallons of water during this time.
Plenum Systems: After placing plenum plate in position, add 2 pounds per gallon of AragAlive! Special Grade Reef Sand (#00790) or a split layer of AragAlive! Florida Crushed Coral (#00795) at 1 pound per gallon for the bottom layer and then a top layer at 1 pound per gallon of AragAlive! Special Grade Reef Sand (#00790) for the top layer. In both cases, a screen should be placed either between the upper and lower layer, or about mid level to discourage sea life from burrowing down to the plenum plate and disrupting plenum function.
Sumps, Refugiums, and Deep Nitrate Reduction Beds (DRN): For offline systems, such as sumps and binary systems, the deepest bed possible is suggested for the non-display unite. Use AragAlive! Florida Crushed Coral (#00795) or AragAlive! Special Grade Reef Sand (#00790) and/or corresponding CaribSea Dry Aragonite. Plant macro-algaes such as Caluerpa sp. and illuminate on a counter daylight cycle to the display tank, or for 24 hours. When illuminated, these macro-algaes help control pH by absorbing carbon dioxide while releasing surplus oxygen. They also help control nuisance algae in the display aquarium by absorbing excess nutrients. These type sumps and binary systems are especially effective in maintaining good water chemistry in display aquariums larger then 75 gallons.
For Deep Nitrate Reduction Beds in Display Aquariums use AragAlive! Special Grade Reef Sand (00790) , AragAlive! Fiji Pink (#00792), AragAlive! West Caribbean Reef (#00794), AragAlive! Bahamas Oolite (#00793), or AragAlive! Indo-Pacific Black (#00791). Add substrate to a depth of 3 to 5 inches (2 to 3 pounds per gallon). Place base or live rock so as to cover the least amount of the substrate as possible. It is especially desirable to incorporate burrowing and sand sifting fish and invertebrates for optimum health of these systems.
Warning! Placing new substrates over the top of an established substrate bed can be damaging to aquatic life. Gently mix new material into the existing bed with fingers. For added safety, this process can be done in sections, over the course of a few days.
CaribSea Aragonite Special Grade Reef Sand is an ideal, natural substrate for marine, reef, and cichlid aquariums. This pristine ocean sand helps create a natural biological and mineral balance while promoting the overall health of fish and invertebrates.
- Perfect for marine, reef, and cichlid aquariums
- Helps create a natural biological and mineral balance
- Promotes healthy fish and invertebrates
Aragonite Reef Sand reduces fish stress by recreating a natural reef environment in the tank. It is precision-graded for efficient calcium carbonate buffering and high in strontium, magnesium, and other essential reef elements, and always silica-free. It is harvested from pristine ocean waters - not collected from beaches or reefs - and contains no harmful tar, organics or impurities.
Its buffering capabilities are unmatched, helping to maintain a proper pH of 8.2 without the constant addition of chemicals to the tank. Each pound of Aragonite provides up to 10,000 square inches of surface area for maximum growth of beneficial, water-purifying bacteria. These bacteria help control nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, and other harmful waste products to keep your fish healthy and your tank clean. CaribSea Aragonite Reef Sand has an ideal grain size for reef tanks, fish tanks, plenum systems, Berlin systems, refugiums, and more.
Directions: Rinse well with clean water. Do not use soap or detergent. 1 to 2 pounds of sand per gallon of water is usually sufficient for most displays. More exact measurements can be obtained from the manufacturers website. For best results, follow all directions on packaging. When using Aragonite for African cichlids or other freshwater applications, a slight cloudiness may persist until the aquarium cycles due to high rates of calcium carbonate dissolution.
Composition:
Magnesium - 1,050 ppm
Calcium - 381,000 ppm
Strontium - 7,390 ppm
Grain Size: 1.0-2.0 mm

CaribSea Eco-Complete Planted Aquarium Substrate is mineralogically and biologically complete substrate for planted aquariums that comes in live water that contains purifying bacteria.
- Mineralogically and biologically complete substrate
- For planted aquariums
- Comes in live water that contains purifying bacteria
Mineralogically complete means it contains iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sulfur plus over 25 other elements to nourish your aquatic plants. It contains all the mineral nutrients needed for luxuriant aquatic plant growth without nuisance algae. This iron-rich substrate eliminates the need for laterite.
Biologically complete means it contains live heterotrophic bacteria to rapidly convert fish waste into natural food for your aquatic plants; creates a natural biological balance which makes cycling a new aquarium faster and safer; packed in Liquid Amazon buffered "Black Water" solution for immediate organic water conditioning; unsurpassed MacroPorosity for healthy roots and bacterial efficiency. You would need to buy 4 bags of ordinary gravel to equal the surface area of this one bag of substrate.
Other features include: nitrate and carbonate free-will not increase pH or carbonate hardness; there are no artificial dyes, paints or chemical coatings; the natural black substrate encourages the most vibrant coloration in fishes and reduces fish stress; spherial grains for optimum diffusion performance; supplies calcium without raising the pH; lead free.
The Bi-Modal grading naturally separates into 2 distinct layers: 1) Fine layer on the bottom for best root development and 2) Coarse layer on top which conveys oxygen and nutrients to the roots.
Instructions: Use 1-2 pounds per gallon of aquarium water. Two pounds or more per gallon will deliver best performance. An ideal depth is at least 3".
It is designed to be a complete substate but may also serve as a bottom layer with your choice of non-carbonate substrate on top (do not use marble, dolomite, limestone, crushed coral, shells aragonite etc.).
For new aquarium set-ups simply pour in the entire contents of this bag and fill aquarium with de-chlorintated tap water or, for best results, de-ionized or distilled water. It will automatically segregate into 2 distinct layers with the finer material on the bottom.
For established systems, drain and discard most of the liquid contents of the product before placing into the system.
Warning!!! Placing new gravel over the top ("capping") of an estabished gravel bed can be damaging to aquatic life. Gently mix new material into the existing bed with fingers. For added safety this process can be done, in sections, over the course of a few days.
Place aquatic plants with roots deep into the substrate. Plants may be held in place with the aid of small rocks, pieces of wood, etc.
