Product Information
Seachem Meridian Sand 9 kg (20 lb) bag
Seachem Meridian Sand is an all natural oolitic (spherical or egg shaped) aragonite substrate for all reef and marine aquaria.
Meridian is the premium aragonite substrate for the reef aquaria. Its grain size (a fairly uniform .25 to .50 mm) is ideally suited to reef inhabitants and its chemical composition will assist in stabilizing calcium and alkalinity while preventing large pH declines.
Unlike competing wet products marketed under the guise of being live, Meridian is sold dry, thus you pay only for gravel and not for unneeded water.
These products imply that they contain living, microscopic animals when in fact they only contain common bacteria. Dry or wet, there are bacteria on every substrate available. If one is concerned with shortening the tank cycle time for a new system, then the use of a product designed for that particular purpose would be more appropriate (such as Seachems Stability).
Simply rinse before use to remove any residual dust.
To determine the number of bags required for your aquarium, please note that each bag (9 kg, 20 lbs) occupies a volume of 5,300 cm3 (320 cu. in.). To determine your desired volume multiply tank width by length by desired depth. Or just clck on the WIKI button and go to Tank Tech
