Live Sand to Pour on Top of Sand Substrate
| Comments |
Off-white live sand poured over the top of a larger amount of Ocean's Nature aragonite sand #1 makes an economical substrate for a tank. Given time the entire substrate mixture will become live and decrease nitrates. The bag is labeled with an expiration date (one year after packaging).

| Liked about it |
Live sand speeds up the tank's cycle and reduces nitrates thereafter. Live aragonite sand white #1 is a light off-white color that is attractive as a substrate. As a top layer, the live sand seeds the other sand in time as an economical live substrate alternative. It can be mixed with a similar textured and colored Aragonite Sand #1 from the same manufacturer.

| Didn't like |
The textures of live aragonite white #1 and the aragonite sand #1 of Nature's Ocean are slightly different; I would prefer them to blend together better. Bio-Active Live Aragonite may or may not be "loaded" with heterotrophic bacteria, live marine autotrophic bacteria and live chemolithotrophic bacteria as advertised; one bag can differ from another one and the consumer has little way to tell in advance.
