Product information "The Sand - Bahama White 9,07kg"

THE SAND by Fauna Marin!

A unique sand that not only stands out visually but also meets the highest standards of sustainability and functionality.

What makes THE SAND special?

Our sand comes from sustainable sources in the Bahama Banks—no coral fragments, just pure oolitic sand, characterized by its rounded grains. This structure is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional: it's ideal for burrowing animals like gobies, who will particularly appreciate this sand.

Why is THE SAND the best choice for your aquarium?

  • Oolitic Structure: The fine, egg-shaped sand grains are perfect for burrowing animals like gobies, providing an optimal environment for their natural behaviors.
  • Biogenic Composition: Made from 98% pure calcium carbonate, this sand helps maintain a stable pH level of 8.2, contributing to the health of your aquarium—without the need for additional chemicals.
  • Sustainability Focus: By using THE SAND, you are actively contributing to coral reef protection. Our sand is sourced from natural, renewable sources and contains no tar, organic matter, or harmful contaminants.

THE SAND – Two Options for Marine Aquariums:

  • Bahama White: A very fine variant that gives your aquarium a bright, white substrate.
    Grain size: 0.1 - 0.3 mm
  • Bahama Natural: Slightly coarser and more natural in texture—perfect for those who prefer an authentic look.
    Grain size: 0.4 - 0.8 mm

Perfect for your marine aquarium

Whether Bahama White or Bahama Natural, THE SAND supports the natural behavior of your animals and provides an optimal environment. The oolitic grains promote substrate aeration, contributing to a stable and healthy aquarium.

Key Benefits at a Glance:

  • 98% calcium carbonate, phosphate-free, and dust-free
  • Perfect for marine aquariums—promotes natural filtration and supports the breakdown of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate
  • Protects coral reefs by avoiding the use of coral sand

Application Instructions:

You can use the sand directly or briefly rinse it with tap water – both options are possible to ensure quick clarification of the aquarium water.

  • Preparing the Sand: Rinse the sand thoroughly in a clean bucket with clear water. Repeat this process until the runoff water changes from milky to slightly cloudy. Any remaining cloudiness will dissipate after a few hours in the aquarium.
  • Setting up a New Aquarium: For the best results, add the sand to the empty aquarium, then carefully fill it with water. Start the filtration system and wait until the water is clear enough to see the back of the tank.
  • Using in Existing Aquariums: gradually add it in small amounts over several days to the existing substrate. Alternatively, replace the existing sand during each water change.
