Is CaribSea Aragonite a good substrate?

[Paul C.]

I have never tried it before and was just curious if any of you have. I have a few questions: Approx. how much is needed to buffer a 100 gallon tank. Is it better as a substrate or in a filter set-up? Is there something better to buffer my tank with? Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

i'm sure that the aragonite will work just fine. see the thread below for some other options:

I mix aragonite into regular gravel. The only negative to using pure aragonite is that white substrates tend to fade the colors on Africans.
