what is the difference between #0 and #1?

Answer by ChewyMar 28, 2023
The difference between the 0 and 1 Aragonite is the grain size. The #0 is 0.1-0.5 millimeters and the #1 is 0.5 -1.7 millimeters.

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 ChewySep 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.

Not as described

The color of the sand is not white and the bag is definitely not 10 pounds like advertised, the bad was only halfway full.
