No better no worse

"Its ok, the instant cycling is not for real as my tank is cycling now with high nitrates and diatoms/brown algae so don't believe that. It may speed it up...I guess but as far as sands go, this is just as good as any other so I score it a 3 out of 5..." Read Full Review »

If your new to sand its actually really easy to clean just take your gravel vack and hold it an inch or two above sand and your done.



Just a fact but algae eaters, plectoes, catfish, sharks, and a few others all can die over time by gravel but its proven that sand lets them live longer.



A really good product I loved I hope you do to.

Happy aquariuming"

Nature's Ocean Bio-Activ Live Aragonite Reef Sand Review

Great for nano reefs

★★★★★
5.0

"This live sand is amazing! I have been keeping reef tanks for several years now and still have three. Typically, I would use dead sand and and add bacteria, however, this stuff comes with the microorganisms your tank needs already in it. There is still a cycling period as is expected with any salt-water tank, but the process is greatly sped up. It creates a great buffer very quickly. I would definitely suggest this to anyone setting up a nano reef or any aquarium for that matter."

Nature's Ocean Bio-Activ Live Aragonite Reef Sand Review

So far so good!

★★★★☆
4.0

"I put this stuff in my tank just under a year ago, I still have my original fish and hermit crabs. I did run my tank for quite some time with some live rock before adding my fish. So its claim that you can immediately add fish should be taken with a grain of salt. Also there is some talk on this product that something sitting on shelf could not possibly still have living organisms and good bacteria. But either way, I still highly recommend it. Better to get a nice jump start."

Nature's Ocean Bio-Activ Live Aragonite Reef Sand Review

Love it but be careful

★★★★☆
4.0

"This is a great product! You need to keep an eye on it though when starting a new aquarium. You still might get a slight ammonia reading as I did and others I have talked to. It should go down within a couple days but just keep an eye on it.

I added about 5 cups of it to an established tank and had a faint reading for about 24 hours.

The less liquid you use from the bag the less cloudy your tank will be."

Live Aragonite Reef Sand

★★★★★
5.0

"The best product on the market in my opinion. I have used it for a couple of years now and it immediately solved my problems. It can be put in and as soon as it settles, the fish can be added. It maintains the ph level perfectly and really helps stabilize the biological level. It is an awesome product! Don't waste your time and money on anything else."
