## Description

Bahamas sand is raw, naturally renewable politic aragonite sand that is up to 98% pure calcium carbonate. The grains are OOLITIC (egg-shaped) and smooth. It is tasteless, odorless and sustainable. Combined with its near chemical purity, size consistency, and small grain structure, Bahamas aragonite possesses numerous advantages making it a superior source of calcium carbonate. Bahamian Aragonite Aquarium Sand is the ideal substrate for marine, reef or African Cichlid aquariums. It is a pure Marine Aragonite sand collected from the crystal clear oceans of The Bahamas, with no harmful tar, organics or impurities. This aquarium sand has unsurpassed buffering capability and helps maintain a natural pH balance of 8. 2 without the constant addition of chemicals. One kg of Marine Aragonite Aquarium Sand offers over 1 million sq. cm of surface area providing a huge space for housing ammonia, nitrate and nitrite reducing bacteria. Marine Aragonite Sand is the ideal grain size for reef tanks, fish tanks, plenum systems and refugees.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great substrate
*by J***S on November 28, 2025*

Perfect shade of white and great particle size. Not dusty or dirty at all. Very happy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very pretty white but lots of dust
*by D***K on August 9, 2023*

I HIGHLY recommend washing this substrate before putting it in your tank. This video is 2 weeks after putting the sand in my tank. It’s still all over my plants and tank decor. The sand is really fine and vibrant white though! I can tell it’s high quality besides that. I did 2 bags for my 25 gallon tank.
