---

Aragonite crushed coral raises ph and keeps it stable when used as a substrate or filter medium in your freshwater aquarium. As a substrate it can simply be spread about either on the bare glass tank bottom or on top of your current gravel. As a filter medium it works great in inside bottom filters or you can even bury a sponge filter in it to increase the filter capacity of the sponge many times over.

Aragonite maintains a high pH without the constant addition of chemicals which do not work and can actually be very harmful. When the pH in your aquarium falls below 8.2, Aragonite snaps into action, breaking down into calcium (great for water hardness), carbonate (your buffer), and various beneficial trace elements like Magnesium. Other types of calcium carbonate don't react until the pH is in the mid 7's. In fact, Aragonite holds the highest pH of any gravel or sand, and has up to 30 times the buffering capacity of Dolomite, Calcite, or Oyster shell.

Unlike ordinary substrates, Aragonite never needs replacement, buffering automatically for the life of an aquarium. Your pH comes back up and the tank stays healthy, all without ever adding a single chemical. The rise in ph will depend on how much aragonite is used, the size of your tank and the natural ph of your water. Whatever those factors are though, it WILL raise ph and maintain it.

In addition to maintaining the pH of your aquarium, Aragonite is a high capacity bio-filter media when used in conjunction with just about any type of filter. It is extremely porous, about 20,000 square inches of surface area per cubic inch. Imagine the beneficial bacteria population you can maintain with it. This is why Aragonite is unsurpassed in reducing nitrites and ammonia, allowing a bio-load many times greater than other substrates. You would have to buy four bags of ordinary gravel to equal the surface area available for water purifying bacteria in one bag of Aragonite.

Here is a link showing how I use Aragonite to construct high volume, ph raising bio-filters for just a few dollars:
