| please note | * Since this product has the effect of lowering pH and KH, avoid using it together with filter media or water quality regulators that hinder this effect. * There is a small air hole in the package of this product. In the case of super powder, fine particles may come out of the hole. Please note. * Please make sure to take time to adjust the water with the living body. * Please note that we do not compensate for any diseases or deaths of living organisms or withering of aquatic plants. * Be careful not to play children with this bag. There is a danger of suffocation. |
Important
Immediately after setting the soil floor, the water quality may be unstable or nitrite may be detected. After setting, be sure to operate the filter and confirm that the filtration is working properly before introducing the living body. In addition, durable aquatic plants such as hygrophylla are effective to speed up the stability of water quality.
At the beginning of the set, bubbles may be difficult to disappear, but are harmless to the living body. As it disappears in a few days, there is no problem in using it.
Estimated amount of water used in main standard water tanks
30cm cube water tank: about 0.9 liter per 1cm thickness
45 × 30 × 30cm water tank: about 1.3 liter per 1cm thickness
60 × 30 × 36cm water tank: per 1cm thickness 1.8 liter
90 × 45 × 45 cm water tank: about 4 liters per 1 cm thickness
120 × 45 × 45 cm water tank: about 5.4 liters per 1 cm thickness
* Sand-based products are generally sorted by sieves, but long and narrow grains may be larger than the stated grain size. Please note.
※ As it is a natural material, garbage such as plants and wood chips may be contained. When using, remove it with a scoop.
* Because it is a natural material, the grain size may vary slightly depending on the lot even for the same product. Please note.
* In the case of gravel, most of them are marine products, so shells and coral debris may be mixed in. Shells and corals have the effect of raising the pH, so if you raise a living body that prefers an extremely low pH, or if you are worried about it, use it after acid treatment.

Seachem Meridian
- Natural oolitic aragonite sand for all types of marine, reef, and tropical aquaria
- Assists in stabilising calcium and alkalinity
- Helps prevent large pH declines
- Pure dry sand (no water fillers)
Advantages
Seachem Meridian is all natural oolitic (spherical or egg shaped) aragonite sand ideal as substrate for all reef and marine aquaria. Its spherical grain size (a fairly uniform 0.25 - 0.50 mm) makes the sand particularly suitable for reef organisms, while its chemical composition helps to stabilise calcium and alkalinity, thereby preventing large pH declines.Dry vs Wet Gravels
Unlike competing wet gravels, each bag of Seachem Meridian contains pure sand gravel without water as filler. Some wet gravels are marketed as containing living, microscopic animals when in fact they only contain common bacteria. Dry or wet, bacteria exists naturally in every substrate. If one is concerned with shortening the aquarium cycle time for a new system, then the use of a product designed for that particular purpose would be more appropriate (such as Seachem Stability).Meridian Sand Mineral Composition
