Fiji Pink – This soft pink colored, 100% aragonite substrate is a good intermediate sand size product. The precise 0.5 – 1.5mm grain size combines some of the animal friendly properties of fine sand such as ingestability and low resistance to burrowing, but with better diffusive flux properties and good porosity. This is also the standard choice for reef aquariums at 1 pound per gallon.
