Premium Argonite Sand 4.5Kg

African Cichlids and Marine fish normally require higher than normal pH levels.  To maintain the higher pH you can use a pH increaser with every water change or you can use Argonite sand which slowly releases Calcium Carbonate.

African Cichlid  Calcium carbonate is derived from oolitic aragonite which is biogenic (created by living organisms) and naturally re-occurring. Protect the reef by using this superior and sustainable substrate. Harvested as Bahamas sand it is raw, naturally renewable oolitic aragonite sand that is up to 98% pure calcium carbonate.

The grains are OOLITIC (egg-shaped) and smooth. It is tasteless, odourless, dustless 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.
