CaribSea Arag-Alive!™ Fiji Pink Live Sand
CaribSea’s Arag-Alive!™ contains a broad spectrum of marine bacteria, including specially selected strains, to accelerate the establishment of a healthy biological filter in new aquariums. It helps reduce initial ammonia spikes and speeds up the cycling process, making it safer and more efficient. The substrate creates a natural biological balance, allowing live rocks and most invertebrates to be added immediately. Fish should be introduced gradually after the first 3 weeks, with no more than one inch of fish per 5 gallons during this period.

The sand settled well in my 55-gallon tank. I added live rocks right away and noticed a steady drop in ammonia levels within the first week. My shrimp and snails are thriving. Great for beginners looking to speed up cycling.

Fiji Pink looks nice in the tank. The sand is fine and easy to work with. I used it in a reef tank with corals and it didn’t cause any issues. Fish were added after 3 weeks as recommended.

This product helped my new tank cycle much faster than expected. No ammonia spikes, and the biological balance was established quickly. I’m very satisfied with the performance.
