Substrate is often used for cosmetic reasons to create a natural-looking environment inside the aquarium. But in addition to cosmetics, aquarium substrate plays a vital role in biological filtration by providing surface area in which nitrifying bacteria can grow.

Larger grain sizes—often referred to as crushed coral—are frequently used in fish-only aquariums because they allow for easier removal of detritus by vacuuming the substrate. In the reef aquarium, finer grains—generally referred to as sand—are used since the substrate provides a larger surface area that does not need to be vacuumed.

CaribSea Arag-Alive substrate contains nitrifying bacteria that 'seeds' an aquarium to speed up the cycling process. For fine substrate, 90 pounds covers a cubic foot. For coarser grains, 70 pounds covers a cubic foot. If you need help deciding how much substrate you’ll need, don’t hesitate to contact us for advice.

Along with saltwater aquarium substrate, you’ll also find calcium reactor media, refugium mud and specialized gravel for freshwater planted aquariums in this section.
