Aquarium Food and Supplies

Gulf Specimen carries sand, sea water, live rock, live food and materials to help you maintain your laboratory aquarium. Following are a few of the products available.

LIVE SAND

Live sand helps to seed your aquarium with beneficial nitrifying bacteria and kick start your nitrogen cycle. Starting new tanks with live sand can shorten the initial nitrogen cycle when setting up new tanks. Live sand is collected for each specific order. The sand is collected and shipped wet overnight to ensure a healthy population of beneficial bacteria.
