COARSE ARAGONITE
Kg.4,5
Calcean is changing the way we view natural resources and their integration into familiar products and industries. Calcean uses renewable biogenic calcium carbonate derived from the oolitic aragonitic sands of the Bahamas. Oolitic aragonite is a renewable and sustainably produced resource. It forms naturally on the coasts of the Bahamas during natural rainfall events called "whiting".
During these events, cyanobacteria blooms trap carbon from the atmosphere and a mineralization process takes place, forming aragonite.
Aragonite is a versatile renewable resource that offers numerous advantages over standard ground calcium carbonate (GCC). GCC is not a renewable resource and has a different morphological structure from oolitic aragonite. The unique structure of oolitic aragonite offers many advantages, such as a larger surface area, high negative zeta potential and high calcium bioavailability.
Calcium carbonate derived from aragonite is biogenic and occurs naturally. Protect your coral reef using this superior, durable substrate. Save the world's coral reefs by not using coral sand.
Bahamas Sand is a naturally renewable, coarse oolitic aragonite sand containing up to 98% pure calcium carbonate.
The coarse grains are coarse and approximately 1-2 mm. It is tasteless, odorless, dust-free and durable.
Combined with its near chemical purity, size consistency, and small grain structure, Bahamian aragonite has numerous advantages that make it a superior source of calcium carbonate.
Bahamas Aragonite aquarium sand is the ideal substrate for marine, reef or African cichlid aquariums.
It is pure Aragonese sand harvested from the crystal-clear oceans of the Bahamas, with no harmful tar, organic matter or impurities.
This aquarium sand has unsurpassed buffering capacity and helps maintain a natural pH balance of 8.2 without the constant addition of chemicals.
One kg of Aragonite Aquarium Sand offers more than 1 million square cm of surface area and therefore offers enormous space to accommodate ammonia, nitrates and nitrite-reducing bacteria.
Oolitic Aragonite sand is the ideal grain size for reef aquariums, aquariums, plenum systems and refugiums.
