BF McUmber Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I have been ordering crushed coral from the CO-OP in the past. In preparation to setting up a new tank I found out my LFS carries Caribsea products and it seems silly mailing such weight if we don't have to. However, when looking at the Caribsea line I am having a hard time determining what is the basic crushed coral. It seems like some of the main differences is the grain size and if they add sand to it. Would anyone be willing to explain the differences between the different Aragonites vs the Flordia crushed coral? More importantly should I just be getting the Florida Crushed Coral to buffer my freshwater tank? Thank you, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) I would just use the Caribsea product if it makes more sense to do so. They have two styles of "crushed coral" one of them is Florida, the other is Caribbean. You can see photos on the website for consistency. Aragonite = Fine sand with shells and coral, typically. This is when you're talking aquarium products specifically. As for a more general definition... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aragonite Edited July 19, 2023 by nabokovfan87 added link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BF McUmber Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 Thank you very much. That is exactly what I was trying to figure out, but was getting different interpretations from different places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
