Comments: In all of my Malawi cichlid tanks I have used Eco-Complete as the substrate. My fish love the stuff and it is easy to clean. The only caution would be in making sure that no holes exist in the bag or you will lose the live bacteria in the sand. CaribSea is always a product that I can trust.

Very Happy

Comments: I am quite happy with this gravel. It has a nice natural look to it and my mix of African cichlids really seem to enjoy it, they pick it up and spit it out often and seem to have fun with it. I bought 2 20LB Bags which was perfect for my 29g aquarium. The bag said do not wash, however it will definitely cloud the water if not rinsed some what. I think it is a good choice of substrate. I initially bought crushed coral and was going to use that as my substrate, but last minute decided to go with the eco complete mix. I am happy with my choice; I can see that my fish are a lot happier with this substrate.

Comments: Outstanding !! The fish love it. I love the fact of no rinsing. Water will cloud up when first added to full tank but will clear up rather quickly. Highly recommend sand over gravel. Just remember the ratio of about one pound per gallon when ordering.
