CaribSea Eco-Complete Cichlid Black Sand 20lb

Product details

CaribSea Eco-Complete Cichlid Black Sand 20lb (00777) is an African cichlid aquarium substrate designed to support stable water chemistry and efficient biological filtration. Used as the bottom layer in a freshwater cichlid setup, it’s intended to help maintain the higher pH commonly associated with African Rift Lake-style systems, while also providing minerals to support the water parameters cichlids rely on. The substrate is marketed as “biologically complete,” including water purifying bacteria to help establish filtration in a new aquarium.

Features:

• Made to support a higher pH environment that African cichlids are often kept in
• Contains aragonite and is formulated with minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and carbonate
• Includes live, water-purifying bacteria to support faster, safer cycling of a new aquarium
• High internal porosity is designed to maximize biological capacity and help maintain water quality
• Formulated to help resist pH drops commonly seen during cichlid system operation
• Packaged in a water conditioning solution for immediate use
• Advertised as requiring no rinsing before use
