CaribSea Arag-Alive Fiji Pink Reef Sand

Live pink reef sand that works while it looks great. CaribSea Arag-Alive Fiji Pink is a live aragonite reef sand that gives your saltwater tank a warm, natural pink bed while doing real work for water chemistry. Because it is 100% aragonite, it buffers pH toward natural seawater levels and slowly releases calcium and trace elements, and it arrives pre-loaded with millions of live marine bacteria to cycle your tank fast and keep it biologically balanced. It is ready to use and clears quickly. Pair it with saltwater essentials and live rock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose live sand?
The live bacteria help cycle your tank quickly and maintain a stable biological balance, which is easier than seeding dry sand from scratch.

Do I rinse it first?
No. Rinsing washes away the live bacteria. Add it straight from the bag and pour gently to limit cloudiness.

Does it raise my pH?
As aragonite, it buffers toward natural seawater levels and releases calcium and trace elements over time.

How much do I need?
About 1 inch for a low bed, or 3 to 4 inches for a deep sand bed.
