I have an established salt water tank but I would like to increase the amount of sand that I have. Can I add the Bio activ live Aragonite sand if I have live fish, coral and invertebrates already
Answer by • Sep 07, 2018
This sand is only suitable for salt water tanks. Use a minimum of 1 pound of Bio-Activ Live Aragonite Live Sand per gallon of saltwater. Set up an appropriate filtering system and allow it to circulate. During the first month introduce no more than 1 inch of fish per 5 gallons of saltwater.
