Florida Crushed Coral 15 lb
Florida Crushed Coral is a natural aragonite-based aquarium substrate designed to raise and stabilize pH and carbonate hardness (KH). Its coarse texture and buffering ability make it an excellent choice for African cichlid aquariums, brackish tanks, and marine systems, or anywhere harder, more alkaline water is desired.
This 15 lb bag is ideal for medium to larger aquariums or for aquarists who want to use crushed coral in filters, sumps, or mixed substrates. It can be used as a full substrate or placed in media bags to provide long-term, natural buffering.
