Description
Meridian is an all natural oolitic (spherical or egg
shaped) aragonite substrate for all reef and marine aquaria. Meridian is the premium aragonite substrate for the reef aquaria. It's grain size
(a fairly uniform 0.25 - 0.50 mm) is ideally suited to reef inhabitants
and it's chemical composition will assist in stabilizing calcium and
alkalinity while preventing large pH declines. Unlike competing "wet"
products marketed under the guise of being "live", Meridian is sold
dry, thus you pay only for gravel and not for unneeded water. These
products imply that they contain living, microscopic animals when in
fact they only contain common bacteria. Dry or wet, there are bacteria
on every substrate available. 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's Stability).

Directions
Simply rinse before use to remove any residual dust. To
determine the number of bags required for your aquarium, please note
that each bag (9 kg, 20 lbs) occupies a volume of 5,300 cm3 (320 cu. in.). To determine your desired volume multiply tank width by length by desired depth.
