PREIS Bora Bora Sand 25 kg

Presentation

This sand is a very fine, white substrate based on calcium and magnesium compounds. It is indicated as ideal for marine aquariums.

Usage Recommendations

A layer of 2 to 3 cm is recommended so that a sufficiently strong current, creating good circulation, can clear the substrate of debris and limit any concentration of nitrates on the ground.

Bora Bora sand is also indicated as suitable for live sand filtration systems according to the DSB method. In this case, the recommended substrate height is between 8 and 20 cm.

Indicated Characteristics

Made from very pure rock, Bora Bora sand is indicated as not releasing nitrates, phosphates, or silicates.

It is composed largely of calcium and magnesium and is indicated as contributing to the amendment of the water with calcium and magnesium carbonates and bicarbonates, measured by TAC or KH.

Annual Addition

It is indicated that approximately one year after installation, an addition of about 10% of the initial amount of Bora Bora sand may be necessary. This addition corresponds to the volume dissolved over a year in the form of calcium, magnesium, carbonates, and bicarbonates.

Cited Animal Behaviors

The fineness of the sand is indicated as appreciated by mollusks, anemones, cerianthids, serpulids, and feather duster worms.

Labrids, who like to bury themselves in it, as well as gobiodons, who easily dig into it to take refuge, are also mentioned.

Bora Bora sand is presented as corresponding to the natural environment of coral reefs and as contributing to the proper functioning of the biotope.

Example of Substrate Volume Calculation

Example given for an aquarium 150 cm long, 50 cm deep, and a substrate thickness of 2 cm:

150 × 50 × 2 = 15 liters of substrate.

Provided indication: 8 kg of Bora Bora sand is suitable for about 5 liters.

Rinsing Before Use

Before any use, it is indicated to thoroughly rinse Bora Bora sand with running water. The water may initially become milky; rinsing should continue until the water becomes approximately clear.
