Transform your freshwater planted aquarium with CaribSea Eco-Planted Aquarium Substrate, formerly known as Eco-Complete! This black, 20lb bag of nutrient-rich gravel is the ideal foundation for promoting vibrant and healthy plant growth. No need to rinse! It's ready to use straight from the bag.

Eco-Planted's secret lies in its rich basaltic volcanic soil composition. It contains a wealth of essential elements, including iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sulfur, along with over 25 other elements to nourish your aquatic plants. The iron-rich formula eliminates the need for laterite.

This substrate features highly porous, spherical grains that optimize diffusion performance. It contains live heterotrophic bacteria that rapidly convert fish waste into natural food for your plants, establishing a natural biological balance. This makes cycling a new aquarium faster and safer.
