AquaForest Bio Sand 1-2mm 10kg

AF Bio Sand is a natural white sand from deposits of the highest quality. It is free from any contaminants, and its calcium carbonate content helps stabilize water chemistry. The latest AF Bio Sand technology significantly accelerates the maturation process of an aquarium and allows for a faster introduction of livestock into a newly set-up tank. The included bottles contain laboratory-isolated strains of nitrifying bacteria as well as a source, facilitating their development and multiplication. The product’s specialized formula ensures the nitrogen cycle closes and harmful chemical compounds are eliminated much faster than if traditional substrates were used. The extremely easy use of AF Bio Sand allows for instant preparation of the sand for the aquarium. Due to the very wide range of applications, AF Bio Sand also works perfectly in mature aquariums as a substrate supplement. The sand's granulation is 1 to 2 mm.

PREPARATION: Sand residue appears during transport and is perfectly safe for your aquarium; however, to avoid water turbidity, we strongly recommend rinsing the sand in RODI water before use. Pour the contents of both bottles into 3 liters of salt water, mix thoroughly, add to the sand bag, and leave for 24 hours. To allow bacteria to multiply, do not close the bag. We do not recommend storing it in cool places, as this significantly increases the bacterial multiplication time. The optimal sand maturation temperature is around 25-28°C (77-82°F). After 24 hours, the sand is ready for use in the aquarium. Add sand gradually to the aquarium (small amounts day after day) and monitor parameter changes.
