Find a productProduct description
This 9 kg live aragonite sand is intended for marine aquariums where the substrate should contribute biological activity, not only serve as a bottom layer. The grains are coated with a natural biofilm that the manufacturer describes as containing hundreds of millions of live marine bacteria.
Why it matters
- Live bacteria in the substrate: the biofilm on each grain holds live marine bacteria, which the manufacturer states are kept viable by a patented preservation process.
- QX-23® solution: the bacteria are maintained with this solution, which the manufacturer says keeps them ready to work without a prior maturation period.
- Nitrogen compound removal: according to the manufacturer, the bacterial community supports nitrification and reduces ammonia, nitrite and nitrate.
- Colour: the Samoa Pink blend combines white and coral pink tones, giving the bottom a delicate colour.

Because it carries live bacteria, it fits setups where biological filtration and water stability are a priority. Pair it with the rest of your marine equipment and check the expiry date on the packaging before use.
