CaribSea Aragonite-Alive Reef Sand – Fiji Pink
Only CaribSea’s Arag-Alive! Live Sands contains not just the broad spectrum of natural marine bacteria found in the ocean, but additional specially selected strains of marine bacteria as well. Arag-Alive! compresses new tank cycle time and suppresses the initial ammonia spike. Arag-Alive! creates a natural biological balance, making aquarium cycling faster and safer.
Live rocks and most invertebrates can be added immediately. Gradually introduce fish within the first 3 weeks, and do not exceed one inch of fish per 5 gallons during this time.

Ella Scott –
The sand settled well in my reef tank and the water parameters stabilized quickly. I was able to add live rock right away and noticed less ammonia spikes than expected. The pink color is subtle and natural-looking.
Emma Slater –
Great product for beginners. The sand is easy to work with and the bacteria helped my tank cycle in just two weeks. I added snails and corals right after installation.

I’ve used several substrates before, but this one stands out for its consistent grain size and color. It’s perfect for a mid-sized reef tank and the biological balance is noticeable from day one.
