Pisces USA AquaNatural Coarse Aragonite
Designed specifically for use in marine and reef aquariums, Pisces USA AquaNatural Coarse Aragonite is a naturally occurring form of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). It helps maintain ideal water conditions by stabilizing pH levels between 8.0 and 8.4, which is beneficial for saltwater and certain freshwater environments.
Known for its high buffering capacity, aragonite supports stable alkalinity and gradually releases essential minerals into the water. This promotes healthy water chemistry, supporting the growth and well-being of corals, invertebrates, and specific freshwater species.

I’ve used this aragonite in my 55-gallon reef tank for six months. The pH has stayed stable between 8.1 and 8.3. My corals have grown steadily, and the water chemistry feels much more balanced. Easy to add and doesn’t clump.

Good product for maintaining alkalinity. I added it slowly over several weeks and noticed a steady rise in pH. Works well with my live rock setup. A bit coarse, so it takes a little time to settle.

This aragonite has helped me maintain consistent pH levels in my marine tank. I mix it with my substrate and it dissolves slowly, which is perfect for long-term stability.
