CaribSea African Cichlid Ivory Coast Sand 20lb

Product details

CaribSea African Cichlid Ivory Coast Sand 20lb (00223) is a dry aquarium substrate designed for use in freshwater African cichlid setups. This aragonite-based sand can be used to help support a more stable water chemistry in established tanks, helping recreate water conditions associated with African rift lakes. A consistent, fine-to-medium grain size also makes it practical for decor layouts and for cichlids that interact with the substrate during feeding and digging.
