This 10 kg bag of white marine aquarium sand suits hobbyists setting up a new saltwater tank or adding to a substrate that is already in place. Its calcium carbonate content and bacterial preparation address two common tasks at once: keeping water chemistry steady and getting the nitrogen cycle established sooner.
Why it matters
- Calcium carbonate in the sand helps stabilise water pH, which supports a steadier environment for marine livestock.
- The kit includes two vials: one with selected nitrifying bacteria and one with a nutrient medium that supports their growth.
- The bacteria are intended to speed up the nitrogen cycle, which is how harmful nitrogen compounds are broken down in the water.
- The sand is ready to use 24 hours after preparation, so the tank can be stocked sooner.

What it works with
The sand is designed for marine aquariums and can be used when starting a new tank or when refreshing the substrate of an established one. The 0.5–1.5 mm grain produces a fine, even bed that gives the bottom a natural look. The included bacteria and nutrient vials are meant to be used together with the sand.
