Default Carib Sea Crushed Coral-Geomarine Aragonite

I was wondering if Carib Sea Florida Crushed Coral-Geomarine Aragonite Formula was any good. Heres a description.

It's the only crushed coral with aragonite, which provides up to 25 times the buffering power of other crushed corals, dolomite, or oyster shell. Eliminate chronic Ph problems and provide maximum surface area for water purifying bacteria. CaribSea's Florida Crushed Coral with aragonite allows an increase in bioload by up to 50% and it never needs replacement! No rinsing required.

This product is also able to be utilized in calcium reactors and plenum systems to deliver not only calcium, but also carbonate buffer,and essential trace elements such as Strontium (up to 10,000 ppm!).

Default Re: Carib Sea Crushed Coral-Geomarine Aragonite

I have 100 % aragonite sand and I still have to buffer my tank....

50% more bioload capacity?? as compared to what?

Sounds like a lot of claims, for a sand! IMO
