CaribSea Aragonite Aquarium Sand

[Lakemontfishlover]

I have a 30 gallon tank and changing to Caribsea Aragonite Sand. I have fresh water, guppies, neons, Platys and albino Cory’s. My water is city water and hard water. I’m always using an alkaline buffer because ph is yellow, too acidic. Will this sand be ok to use in my tanks?

It should be, but if you wish to increase pH, you can find other ways as well.

Of course, you can purchase liquids to raise pH but folks often have success using plain baking soda!

Let us know what works for you. Good luck

I use an alkaline buffer but my sister tried the caribsea argonite she has a Blood Parrot and said her ph has been perfect since changing to the sand. I have a lot of albino Cory’s and they will love the sand, also neons, guppies, platys was hoping they can tolerate the argonite.

If a blood red parrot cichlid can, your fish can too. I actually tried aragonite 8-9 years ago for a community tank and it didn't seem to have any adverse affects
