Product Description
This stunning CaribSea AragAlive Bikini Pink marine substrate comes packed with millions of beneficial heterotrophic, autotrophic, and chemolithotrophic bacteria. A large population of these good bacteria helps cut down waste and significantly shortens the cycling time for new aquarium setups. You can use it alone or to rejuvenate an existing substrate bed. Specially engineered, Arag-Alive suppresses 'new tank syndrome' and streamlines the ammonia cycle. It acts like a nitrite and nitrate filter, an ammonia reducer, and a high - capacity biological filter for your marine aquarium. The included Bio - Magnet clarifier quickly clears the water and boosts biological efficiency. The substrate contains aragonite, a natural source of calcium, carbonate, and beneficial trace elements that maintain the proper pH without the need for constant chemical addition. Color: Bikini Pink. Size: 20 lbs.
Using the CaribSea AragAlive Bikini Pink marine substrate is easy. For a new aquarium, simply add it to the tank as the base layer. If you have an existing setup, you can sprinkle it on top of the current substrate to kick - start the beneficial bacteria. When adding it, make sure your aquarium has water in it already. As for maintenance, you don't need to constantly add chemicals because the aragonite in the substrate helps keep the pH stable. Just check the water quality regularly. Also, don't forget that the Bio - Magnet clarifier included with the substrate will help keep the water clear, but if the water seems cloudy for a long time, you might want to check your filtration system. Keep an eye on the ammonia and nitrate levels, especially during the initial cycling period. Overall, with this substrate, you'll have a great start for your marine aquarium.
