Bio Sand 7.5kg - Aquaforest
Description
AF Bio Sand is a natural white sand sourced from the highest quality deposits. It is free from any contaminants, and its calcium carbonate content helps stabilize water chemistry. The latest technology in AF Bio Sand significantly accelerates the maturation process of an aquarium and allows for quicker addition of livestock in a newly set up tank. The included vials contain laboratory-isolated strains of nitrifying bacteria and a food source, facilitating their development and multiplication.
The specialized formula of the product ensures a faster closure of the nitrogen cycle and the elimination of harmful chemical compounds compared to traditional substrates. The extremely simple use of AF Bio Sand allows for instant preparation of the sand for use in the aquarium. Due to its very wide range of applications, AF Bio Sand will also work perfectly in mature tanks as a substrate supplement. The sand granulation is 0.5 to 1.5 mm.
Preparation
Sand residues may emerge during transport and are perfectly safe for your aquarium. However, to avoid water cloudiness, we strongly advise rinsing the sand in RODI water before use.
Pour the contents of both bottles into 3 liters of saltwater, mix well, add to the sand bag, and let sit for 24 hours.
To allow for bacterial multiplication, do not seal the bag.
We do not recommend storing in cool places, as this significantly increases bacterial multiplication time.
The optimal maturation temperature of the sand is about 25-28°C (77-82°F).
After 24 hours, the sand is ready to be used in the aquarium.
When using in an operating aquarium, please add the sand gradually to the tank (small amounts per day), monitor parameter changes, and observe the corals.
Recommendations
- Keep away from children.
- Product for aquarium use only.
- Not suitable for human consumption.

2ème utilisation de sable : toujours top ! Sable fin et très clair. Malgré la granulométrie il ne vole pas trop avec le brassage. Seul contrainte : bien le rincer avant la préparation avec les bactéries
