Aqua Natural Oolitic Aragonite
Aqua Natural Oolitic Aragonite, otherwise known as Bahamas sand, is a naturally renewable substrate that is up to 98% pure calcium carbonate. The grains of this substrate are OOLITIC (egg-shaped), providing a smooth texture. It's tasteless, odorless, dustless, and sustainable. With its near chemical purity, consistent grain size, and fine structure, Bahamas aragonite offers numerous advantages as a superior source of calcium carbonate.
Guaranteed Analysis:
- Calcium (min): 34 %
- Calcium (max): 42 %
- Amino Acids 2-3% (Glutamic and Aspartic)
Nitrifying Bacteria
Each pack contains bio-activated live nitrifying bacteria. You can use this as a primary substrate or mix it with your purchase of corresponding dry Aqua Natural Aragonite to ensure a healthy aquarium. The patented blend of live nitrosomas and nitrobacter bacteria included helps to break down and convert harmful ammonia into safer nitrates.
