OCEAN DIRECT TM

Simply Natural - Enjoy this real Caribbean live sand in a breathable bag with no added chemicals or special processing.

Simply Effective - Ocean DirectTM is different than all other live sand products on the market. This live sand utilizes patent pending Sea Breathe laser technology which preserves real live sand with its own original bacteria.

 

Every bag of Ocean DirectTM is alive and breathing with up to 1000 times more beneficial bacteria than other preservation methods. Every grain of Ocean DirectTM is coated with bacteria and encapsulated by capillary action in a thin film of real ocean water. The thin film is open to the atmosphere for unparalleled gas exchange. This results in high counts of natural and beneficial bacteria with no noxious buildup of metabolic by-products.

Each bag includes a packet of Bio-MagnetTM clarifier to reposition the free floating bacteria to where they are most active; sand beds, surfaces of live rocks, and to biological filtration media. Ocean DirectTM provides you with a thriving, natural aquarium in minutes!

Simply Perfect - Ocean DirectTM supplies the perfect union of physics and biology!

Ocean DirectTM Original Grade is Caribbean live sand with its natural particle breakdown; an overall fine material with smooth oolitic grains on the low end of the spectrum, increasing to small bits of real reef rubble on the high end. This grade, rich in texture and soft color, is perfect for most any marine aquaria, but especially suited for burrowing fish and invertebrates eager to use the larger bits for burrow construction. This natural rubble also recreates the natural habitat of decapods, copapods, sponges, and other natural reef foods. This is the product we use in our 120 gallon experimental reef tank, and it has performed flawlessly in a very high flow environment. This material often has reef rubble in it, but about 77% of the material by weight is less than 1 mm in size (most of the that being smaller than 0.60 mm!).

Ocean DirectTM Oolite is known for its uniquely spherical, uniform graduation. This ultra fine, creamy white substrate is a favorite of the cutting edge reef keeper, and popular for shallow and deep sand beds alike. Burrowing inverts, gill sifting fish, and soft bellied rays and sharks will especially appreciate the smooth, rounded grains. Deep oolitic beds are renowned for their propensity to create a truly "living" sand bed by creating a haven for worms and other benthic invertebrates. This material is almost exclusively sub 1 mm oolite, most of this will be less than 0.60 mm in size.
