Coarse Aragonite – 4,5 kg

Calcean is changing the way we view natural resources and their integration into well-known products and industries. Calcean uses renewable biogenic calcium carbonate derived from Oolitic aragonite sands from the Bahamas. Oolitic aragonite is a renewable and sustainably produced resource. It naturally forms on the shores of the Bahamas during natural rainfall events called whitings. During these events, cyanobacteria blooms trap carbon from the atmosphere and a mineralization process takes place, forming aragonite.
Aragonite is a versatile renewable resource that offers a number of advantages over standard mined ground calcium carbonate (GCC). GCC is not a renewable resource and has a different morphological structure from Oolitic aragonite. The unique structure of Oolitic aragonite offers it many advantages, such as a larger surface area, a high negative zeta potential and a high bioavailability of calcium.
Calcium carbonate derived from aragonite is biogenic and naturally reoccurs. Protect the reef by using this superior and durable substrate. Save the world’s coral reefs by not using coral sand.
Bahamian sand is rough, naturally renewable Oolitic aragonite sand containing up to 98% pure calcium carbonate. The grains of coarse are coarse and about 1-2 mm. It is tasteless, odorless, dust-free and durable. Combined with its near chemical purity, consistency in size and small grain structure, Bahamian aragonite has numerous benefits that make it a superior source of calcium carbonate. Bahamian Aragonite Aquarium Sand is the ideal substrate for marine, reef or African cichlid aquariums.
It is a pure Aragonite sand collected from the crystal clear oceans of the Bahamas, without harmful tar, organic matter or impurities. This aquarium sand has unsurpassed buffering capacity and helps maintain a natural pH balance of 8.2 without the constant addition of chemicals. One kg of Aragonite Aquarium Sand offers more than 1 million square cm of surface area and thus offers an enormous space for housing ammonia, nitrate and nitrite-reducing bacteria. Oolitic Aragonite Sand is the ideal grain size for reef aquariums, aquariums, plenum systems and refugiums.
