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.

Directions for use:

PRIMARY (not mixed with Dry Aragonite)

Usage Calculator: Use 1lb (450g) of Bio-Substrate for every 1 gallon (3.8 litres) of water.

  • DO NOT rinse before use.
  • Spread Aragonite and fill with water slowly. Avoid stirring up the substrate.
  • Once the tank is filled, start your filter. Any cloudy appearance should clear over time.

MIXED (mixed with Dry Aragonite)

Usage Calculator: Use 1lb (450g) of mixed LIVE Bio-Substrate and DRY Substrate for every 1 gallon (3.8 litres) of water. Mixing ratio is 1:4 (1 LIVE to 4 DRY).

  • DO NOT rinse before use.
  • Mix Bio-Substrate and Dry Aragonite thoroughly.
  • Spread mixed Aragonite and fill with water slowly. Avoid stirring up the substrate.
  • Once the tank is filled, start your filter. Any cloudy appearance should clear over time. The live nitrifying bacteria will immediately start forming micro colonies of beneficial ammonia-busting bacteria. Use with any corresponding Aqua Natural Dry Aragonite.
