This is also the standard choice for reef aquariums at 1 pound per gallon.

1.0-2.0 mm; 20 lb water packed bag
This coarse sand is 100% aragonite and has excellent diffusive properties. A very versatile product, use in deep or shallow beds. A significant denitrator when utilized in deeper beds or plenum systems.

Re-create the look of black sand slopes around the volcanic islands of Hawaii. The natural dark substrate highlights the darker or more intense colors of fishes found in these areas.
Determining how much substrate to buy for your new aquarium depends on the size and shape of your tank, as well as the depth of the substrate bed you wish to achieve. Another factor is the type of aquascaping structure you're planning.
Refugiums, small aquariums that either sit next to or hang onto an existing saltwater or reef aquarium, are used by a growing number of aquarists to continually cycle water into and out of the existing tank.
Spanning the most basic to the most advanced applications, a seemingly mundane piece of equipment, a sump, can provide numerous benefits, most important of which is improved water conditions.
