Pearl Beach is an all - natural aragonite substrate perfect for all kinds of marine, reef, and tropical aquariums. Its unique chemical makeup plays a crucial role in stabilizing calcium and alkalinity levels. This helps maintain a healthy environment for your aquatic life by preventing significant drops in pH. Unlike many competing wet gravels, Pearl Beach comes dry. A bag of this dry gravel contains 35% more gravel than an equally - weighted bag of wet gravel. Some wet gravels are marketed to make you think they have living, microscopic animals, but in reality, they only have common bacteria. Remember, all substrates, whether dry or wet, have bacteria. If you're aiming to shorten the cycling time of a new aquarium system, it's better to use a product specifically designed for that, like Seachem's Stability. Pearl Beach is available in a 3.5 - kg size. Here are its key features: 1. Natural aragonite suitable for all marine, reef, and tropical aquariums. 2. Helps keep calcium and alkalinity stable. 3. Prevents large pH drops. Pearl Beach™ Mineral Composition (Units = ppm, source: Plasma Emission Spectrometer, EPA Method 3050, Univ. of Georgia Chemical Analysis Lab): Ca: 376,041; Fe: 1,102; Mg: 248; Mn: 7; Mo: 2; Sr: 1,241; V: 15; Zn: 2.
Using Seachem Pearl Beach Gravel is easy. First, clean the gravel by rinsing it under running water to remove any dust or debris. Then, gently pour it into your aquarium. You can spread it evenly across the bottom to create a natural - looking environment. When it comes to maintenance, vacuum the gravel during regular water changes to remove waste and uneaten food. This will help keep your aquarium clean and your fish healthy. As for the cycling time, if you're setting up a new aquarium, using a product like Seachem's Stability can speed up the process. Remember, all substrates have bacteria, so don't worry too much about the type of gravel being dry or wet. Just make sure to follow the general guidelines for aquarium care. Also, keep an eye on the calcium, alkalinity, and pH levels in your aquarium to ensure a stable and healthy environment for your aquatic pets.
