What kind of sand do I use for tropical fish
Answer by • Oct 11, 2020

will to 20 -lb bags of live sand be enough to cover the bottom of my 150 gallons saltwater tank I already have sand but it’s old looking and I wanted to add new sand
Answer by • Apr 28, 2020
Use a minimum of 1 pound 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 gallon saltwater.
can I use with African cichlids
Answer by • Sep 16, 2020
This product is intended for saltwater aquariums only. This would not be suitable for African Cichlids, since they are freshwater fish.
Is the buffering capability what makes this substrate saltwater only? Or is there another reason it can't be used in freshwater systems?
Answer by • Mar 19, 2018
The sand uses Marine Autotrophic bacteria for saltwater, it may not have the same successful results in freshwater tanks.
