CaribSea’s Arag-Alive!™

Only CaribSea’s Arag-Alive!™ Live Sands contains not just the broad spectrum of marine bacteria found in the ocean, but additional specially selected strains of marine bacteria as well. Arag-Alive!™ compresses new tank cycle time and suppresses the initial ammonia spike. 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.

Special Grade Reef Sand - Grain Size 1.0 - 2.0 mm. This coarse sand is 100% aragonite and has excellent diffusive properties. A very versatile product, use in a deep or shallow beds. A significant denitrator when utilized in deeper beds or plenum systems.

Excellent!

Comments: Just what I wanted! Very little cloudiness when I added the reef sand to the tank. I have two power heads for circulation and the water looks pristine.

Excellent!

Comments: Very nice color and texture. My corals look beautiful after substrate placement because of the contrast between the sand and coral bright colors. I am very impressed by the quality of the product. Highly recommend the product.

"Better to find locally" - Product Review by Nikolay Belenky (Posted on 6/12/08)
Rating
Average

Comments: Once you add up the shipping cost/etc its better to find real live sand somewhere else. This is relatively coarse, and not the best for a DSB. Shipping this is also a risk as it might leak, as it did for me. MarineDepot did a great job replacing it without any hassles.

Comments: The sand was clean and arrived quickly, but it was a little too dry, and I'm not sure that much of the bacteria has survived.

"Quality product" - Product Review by Dana Andrews (Posted on 1/29/08)
Rating
Excellent!

Comments: Shipped in very heavy plastic (very unlikely to rip), this substrate is fresh. Found lots of sea water (real sea water - tested) keeping the local habitants happy. Unbelievable clean too! Made my existing bed look dingy. Lots of good instructions and warning on the bag and the bag is clearly dated for freshness. I wish all merchants cared this much about their product and customers.
