 AQUARIUM SUBSTRATE GENERAL INFO
Sand is used in aquariums for aesthetic reasons and it also provides the surface area necessary for nitrifying bacteria to grow. We carry the CaribSea Florida Crushed Coral, Seafloor Special Grade Reef Sand, Aragamax Sugar Sized Sand. Typically, you should have 2-3 inches of sand in a saltwater aquarium. For all the CaribSea sand we carry we list the total cubic inches of coverage for that sand.
For freshwater planted tanks use the Red Sea FloraBase Planted Tank Substrate. Its soft, porous, granular structure is easily penetrated by growing roots, and it anchors plants to the substrate while providing immediate access to all of the nutrients.
