AQUAFOREST Bio Sand 7.5kg

Accelerates the aquarium maturation process

AF Bio Sand is a natural white sand derived from the highest quality deposits. It is free of contaminants, and its calcium carbonate content helps stabilise water chemistry. The latest technology in AF Bio Sand significantly accelerates the maturation process of an aquarium, and allows faster livestock addition in a newly set up tank.
The bottles included contain laboratory-isolated strains of nitrifying bacteria and a nourishment, facilitating their development and multiplication.

Faster start of the nitrogen cycle and elimination of harmful compounds
The AF Bio Sand specialist formula guarantees the closing of the nitrogen cycle and the elimination of harmful chemical compounds much faster than if using traditional substrates. AF Bio Sand's extremely easy use allows instant sand preparation for use in the aquarium. Due to the wide range of applications, AF Bio Sand will also work perfectly in mature tanks as a substrate supplement. 

Sand granulation is 0.5-1.5 mm.

Instant preparation of sand for use in the aquarium

Preparation: Sand residue emerges during transport, but it’s perfectly safe for your aquarium. However, to avoid water turbidity, we strongly advise rinsing the sand in RODI water before use.

Pour the contents of both bottles into 3 litres of saltwater, mix thoroughly, add to the sand bag and leave for 24 hours. In order to allow bacteria to multiply, do not close the bag. We do not recommend storage in cool places, as it significantly increases the time of bacterial multiplication. The optimal sand maturation temperature is around 25-28°C (77-82°F). After 24 hours, the sand is ready for use in the aquarium. Add sand gradually into the tank (small amounts day by day) and monitor parameter changes.
