This new Eco-Friendly Aragonite Sand from Addictive Reef Keeping is professionally cleaned and dried to ensure no pesky hitchhikers, pests or algae are introduced into your saltwater aquarium. This Eco-Friendly Aragonite Sand is not man-made; it is real calcium carbonate limestone-structured aragonite we quarry in Florida, far away from living coral reefs. It is completely reef-safe and will not leach any undesirable contaminants into your delicate saltwater system.

The Eco-Friendly Aragonite Sand does not affect the aquarium nitrogen cycle and may therefore be added to new aquariums and established tanks alike. This dry rock  is super porous with plenty of surface area to grow beneficial nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria to act as a biological filter to help maintain pristine water conditions in your tank.

Also environmentally friendly because it’s harvested on land in Florida and only the best pieces are selected to sell for aquarium use.

We recommend 1 to 2 lbs. of sand per gallon of aquarium water. 1 pound per gallon for a open-water landscape with more space for your fish to swim. 2 pounds per gallon for a denser landscape
