DvH Aragonite Natural Sand

Available in 0.3-1.2mm, 1-2mm and 2-3mm in a 2.8kg or 9kg pot.

DVH Aquatic Aragonite Natural Sand is a raw, naturally recurring, biogenic, 99.8% pure calcium carbonate derived from marine aragonite. Its near chemical purity and size consistency make it the ideal substrate for marine, reef or cichlid aquariums, plenum systems and refugiums.

In addition to calcium, it also contains elements such as carbonate, strontium, magnesium, molybdenum and potassium. It has a tremendous buffering capacity and helps maintain a natural pH without the constant addition of chemicals.

1 KG DVH Aquatic Aragonite Natural Sand offers more than 100m2 / 1075 sq. Ft to surface for housing ammonia, nitrite and nitrate reducing bacteria. Another advantage is the lack of nitrate, phosphates and silica, which prevents diatom blooms in the aquarium. This is in contrast to most (Asian) suppliers.

How much do I need for my aquarium?

DVH Aquatic Aragonite Natural Sand comes in 9 and 2.8 kg / 19.84 and 6.17 lbs packed in 6 and 2 L PET jars. As we learned in school, 1L = 1dm3. The formula is LxDxH in decimeters.

Measure the length (L) and depth (D) of your tank in centimeters and divide by 10 to get decimeters. Determine how thick (H) you want your sand bed.

Example: My tank is 75x40 cm, that is 7.5x4 dm (75/10 = 7.5 and 40/10 = 4) and I want my sand bed to be 2 cm / 0.2 dm thick. That makes LxD = 7.5 x 4 = 30 dm2. 30 dm2 x H = 30 x 0.2 = 6 dm3 = 6L

In this example, you need 1 pot of 6L to cover the entire bottom of your aquarium with 2cm of sand. For people using inches and feet: 1 inch is about 2.5cm / 0.25dm and a foot is about 30cm / 3dm.
