Only aragonite can do this too: The "miracle mineral" has a 30 times higher filter capacity than purely decorative sand such as calcite or dolomite. This is one of the many advantages of aragonite over calcite or dolomite. All natural and without chemical additives. The pH value then returns to normal and your aquarium remains stable. Corals absolutely need these substances to form their skeleton. This is because when the water becomes acidic, the substrate dissolves, releasing minerals and trace elements such as calcium, strontium, magnesium and iodine. As in its marine home, aragonite also comes into action in your tank as soon as the pH value falls below 8.2, the value of natural seawater. Recommended by Triton and other marine biology Institutes.Įxperts repeatedly stress the importance of aragonite as a substrate. Aragonite in a cube of one cubic centimeter has a surface area of an incredible 8000 square meters! That much biomass means that aragonite is unbeatable in the reduction of nitrates, nitrites and ammonia. These tiny grains of sand offer the great advantage of more surface area for bacterial colonization than other sand. The highly porous aragonite is available in various grain sizes, with the smallest grains being less than one millimeter in size. The natural, round polished reef sand is perfectly suited for method of the "Deep Sand Bed" (DSB). But also hard corals and "difficult" plants, such as tall sea grass, grow particularly well in it. This makes aragonite sand suitable for digging animals such as gobies, crabs and sea cucumbers. Because it has something decisive which calcite or dolomite do not have: Its natural oolitic (egg-shaped) grain makes this sand pleasantly soft.
