Caribsea Eco Complete is a complete aquatic substrate that can be used straight away - no need to rinse! It has a porous texture which delivers the nutrients straight to the plant roots.

Packed in a buffered solution, this black or red substrate contains iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sulphur and 25 other trace elements. These vital nutrients ensure that you plants receive all the food they need for vibrant, strong growth.

The natural balance means that preparing or cycling a new tank is faster and reduces the risk of the dreaded 'new tank syndrome'. Eco Complete is free from artificial colours, dyes or chemicals and will not leach any pollutants into the water.

It is also free from algae causing nitrates, and as it doesn't contain any carbonates. This can affect your pH, and may bring it to above neutral.

Caribsea Eco Complete contains live heterotrophic bacteria which works to convert fish waste into valuable natural food for your aquatic plants. Thus creating a biological cycle that benefits the whole aquarium.

David O. ★★★★★

The no-rinse claim sounded too good to be true, but I literally dumped it straight from the bag into my tank and the water stayed crystal clear. Within a week my crypts were sending out new runners, so the porous texture really does deliver nutrients where they're needed.

William Y. ★★★★★

My planted tank looks noticeably fuller after just two weeks with this substrate, and I love how the dark grains hide debris between cleanings. The porous texture really seems to help my new stem plants root faster than my previous gravel setup.

Natalie ★★★★★

The fact that I could pour this straight into the tank without rinsing first saved me so much mess and time. My amazon swords and crypts have been throwing out new roots like crazy since I switched, and the porous texture really does seem to hold nutrients right where they're needed.
