AF Bio Sand is a natural white sand sourced 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 quicker livestock addition in a newly installed tank. The included vials contain nitrifying bacteria strains isolated in a laboratory and a food source, facilitating their development and multiplication.
The product's specialized formula ensures the completion of the nitrogen cycle and the elimination of harmful chemical compounds much faster than with 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 1 to 2 mm.
Sand residues emerge during transport and it is 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 the two bottles into 3 liters of saltwater, mix well, add to the sand bag, and let it sit for 24 hours.
To allow bacteria multiplication, do not close the bag.
We do not recommend storing in cool places, as this significantly increases the time for bacterial multiplication.
The optimal sand maturation temperature 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 operational aquarium, please add sand gradually to the tank (small amounts per day), monitor parameter changes and observe the corals.
