Our Fiji White Sand is a natural product obtained from the extraction of a highly pure natural deposit. This results in a fine, white substrate for saltwater aquariums, distinguished by its many positive properties:

1. Highest purity:
Our sand consists of 99.6% pure calcium and magnesium compounds, making it one of the cleanest materials currently available on the market.

2. Very white and high reflective properties:
Due to its high purity, the sand is also exceptionally white. This is very beneficial for the overall brightness in the aquarium. Corals receive a higher proportion of reflections from the substrate, similar to their natural environment, which is highly advantageous for them. Fiji White Sand is therefore ideal for aquariums with light-demanding corals, as these corals then receive an additional proportion of diffused light from below.

3. No more extreme drifts:
Due to its significantly higher density than comparable aragonite sand, Fiji White Sand is much heavier and therefore stays in place better in currents.

Application:

We recommend a substrate depth of approximately 2 cm. For deep sand beds (DSB), at least 8-10 cm. The small grain size of the sand largely prevents detritus buildup in the substrate when there is good water flow.

The sand should be rinsed thoroughly several times before use in the aquarium. The dust, which is always present due to friction during transport, etc., should be rinsed away as much as possible. To do this, rinse the sand until the water is no longer milky/white and is mostly clear.

Available grain sizes:

• S= 0.3-1.2 mm
• M= 1.0-2.0 mm
• L= 2.0-3.0 mm
