CaribSea Eco-Complete Cichlid White Sand – 20 lb – African Cichlid Substrate

CaribSea Eco-Complete Cichlid White Sand – 20 lb

Create a bright, natural-looking African cichlid aquarium with CaribSea Eco-Complete Cichlid White Sand, a mineral-rich substrate formulated for African Rift Lake-style aquariums.

Containing aragonite, calcium, magnesium and carbonate, Eco-Complete helps buffer aquarium water and resist downward pH shifts, supporting the harder, more alkaline water conditions preferred by many African cichlids.

Its porous structure provides extensive surface area for beneficial bacteria. The substrate is packaged in a water-conditioning solution containing live bacteria to help establish biological filtration in new aquariums.
