FAQ
Can I add fish immediately after adding Arag Alive Bimini Pink sand?
No, fish should not be added immediately. Live rocks and invertebrates can be added right away, but fish should be introduced gradually within the first 3 weeks. Do not exceed one inch of fish per 5 gallons during this period.
How does Arag Alive help with tank cycling?
Arag Alive contains a broad spectrum of natural marine bacteria and specially selected strains that accelerate the cycling process by breaking down ammonia and suppressing the initial ammonia spike, creating a more stable biological environment.
Is the grain size suitable for reef tanks?
Yes, the 0.2 to 2.2 mm grain size is ideal for reef tanks and provides a natural substrate that supports marine life while allowing for good water flow and root development.

The Bimini Pink sand is vibrant and looks great in my reef tank. It helped reduce ammonia spikes during the first week. I added live rock right away and started introducing fish after three weeks. The water clarity improved noticeably.
Tracey Clark –
I used this sand in a 20-gallon tank. The color is striking and the bacteria helped stabilize the water chemistry quickly. I didn’t have to wait as long for the tank to cycle as I expected.
Andrew Allan –
Great product for beginners. The sand is easy to mix in and the color stands out. My corals adapted well, and the ammonia levels stayed low even after adding small fish.
Faith Wright –
The sand holds up well under water movement. I’ve had it for two months and it still looks fresh. It’s a bit more expensive than regular sand, but the performance justifies the cost.
