CaribSea's Instant Aquarium takes all of the guesswork out of creating a new tank. This line of gravel and sand is water packed with living, water-purifying bacteria, state of the art clarifier, and a complete water conditioner. All you need after this is tap water!

Instant Aquarium will immediately begin the cycling process to discourage nuisance algae. This substrate will also detoxify metals, eliminate ammonia, neutralize chlorine and chloramine, and provide a protective coating to protect stressed out fish. Starting a new tank will never be easier than with Instant Aquarium, it even reduces nitrates and nitrites!
