Because it is 100% aragonite, it buffers pH toward natural seawater levels and slowly releases calcium and carbonates, and its smooth, reef-grade grains (about 0.5 to 1.5 mm) resist detritus buildup. It is screened free of ash, metals, pesticides, and silica, so it will not fuel nuisance algae. Rinse it, add it, and seed it with live sand or bacteria to cycle.
