CaribSea Aragamax Sugar-Sized Sand 30 lb Information







Aragamax Sugar-Sized Sand: 0.2 - 1.2mm diameter grain size. Also known as "oolitic sand," this grade is ideal for shallower bedsallowing dentrification in little 1"depth. The fine can pass easily through gills of gobys and other sand-sifting organisms. smooth round grains are gentle to soft bellied sharks rays. White color metal freeno ash or silica.

CaribSea Aragonite buffers to the highest pH and delivers more calcium, carbonate, and trace elements than any other substrate. Little or no rinsing required, aragonite keeps aquariums healthier, longer.

 

You need to decide what you're planning to house in your tank and then do some research. The sand is suitable for most everything. The cc, however, might not be. While many burrowing/sifting fish and inverts will be able to deal with it, some will not and may end up with cuts and scrapes which can lead to infection.

 

i had mixed sand and crushed coral and had algae problems be cause the food and what not would get caught in the cc parts. but my burrowing fish didnt have a problem with it but i like sand alot more now that i have it!! easy to clean

 

i think im just going to get another 30lb bag to put it.

 

I would def go with the sand, I don't like the look of my cc and it is a pain in the butt to keep clean
