Aragamax Aquarium Sand
Aragamax Aquarium Sand is the ideal nano reef aquarium sand. It is a smooth, round, superfine sand that is gentle on nano reef inhabitants and easily passes through the gills of sand-sifting organisms such as gobies. Since gobies are so popular in nano reefs, and they need fine sand for their sand-sifting habits, Aragamax sand is the ideal kind.
Additionally, Aragamax Aquarium Sand is pure and safe with no metals, ash, or silica. It also naturally aids in nitrate reduction, so you won't have anything else contributing to nitrate levels. In a small aquarium such as a nano reef, things like this are important for optimum nano reef health and happiness.
And, if mixed with some South Pacific Live Sand, Aragamax substrate will quickly become populated with beneficial creatures and bacteria that act as a biological filter. In a nano reef, live rock and sand are quite often the main biological filter, and having a good amount of both is essential. 1 to 1.5 pounds of live rock per gallon of aquarium water volume, and 1/2 pound of live sand per gallon would be sufficient.
