## Description

Bahamas sand is raw, naturally renewable politic aragonite sand that is up to 98% pure calcium carbonate. The grains are OOLITIC (egg-shaped) and smooth. It is tasteless, odorless and sustainable. Combined with its near chemical purity, size consistency, and small grain structure, Bahamas aragonite possesses numerous advantages making it a superior source of calcium carbonate. Bahamian Aragonite Aquarium Sand is the ideal substrate for marine, reef or African Cichlid aquariums. It is a pure Marine Aragonite sand collected from the crystal clear oceans of The Bahamas, with no harmful tar, organics or impurities. This aquarium sand has unsurpassed buffering capability and helps maintain a natural pH balance of 8. 2 without the constant addition of chemicals. One kg of Marine Aragonite Aquarium Sand offers over 1 million sq. cm of surface area providing a huge space for housing ammonia, nitrate and nitrite reducing bacteria. Marine Aragonite Sand is the ideal grain size for reef tanks, fish tanks, plenum systems and refugees.

Review: Did not cloud up my water for a long time fish love it - Excellent sand for my Cichlid tank gave a nice variety of texture when it went along with my crushed coral the fish definitely like moving it around. I did a light rinse on it and it really cleared up in the water rather quickly unlike some other stands I’ve used in the past that have taken more than a day to clear the cloud up. This was pretty quick very satisfied with this particular brand of sand.
Review: Rinse until clear before use - Rinse it a few time, decorate tank and add water.. water will be foggy for up to 24 hours, after water is cleared add in aquatic animals.. my turtle loves to dig, and when he does this sand doesn’t make the water foggy

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Shelldwellers & Raises Hardness
*by B***M on March 2, 2021*

I purchased this this sand for my new shelldweller (Neolamprologus Multifasciatus) tank that I'm transferring my colony to. They absolute love this stuff, it is a nice small grain for them to dig in, move around, and build piles with. The hardness has also noticeably increased. I have only tested with a TDS meter but over a 2 week period the TDS in the water rose from 170 out of the tap to 210 with the sand, which is higher than any of my other tanks and a clear increase in hardness. I expect it will continue to increase as the tank matures and forms its buffer. The sand itself is a very fine grain, white/off white sand. It is much smaller than other African Cichlid substrates I have seen which is a plus for these Multies. It is too fine of a grain to shove a gravel vac in, as all of the sand will also be vacuumed out, so keep that in mind with how that would fit in your cleaning preferences. So far I have easily been able to vacuum debris right off the top by just skimming the gravel vacuum slightly above the sand. I would recommend giving this a good clean as the aquarium took several days to clear up, even after several rinses. All in all, a high quality cichlid sand
