CaribSea Super Naturals Moonlight Sand
Bright, natural sand for a clean, luminous aquascape. CaribSea Super Naturals Moonlight Sand gives freshwater tanks a crisp, modern look with smooth, uniformly graded grains. It is all-natural with no paints, dyes, or coatings, and completely inert, so it will not change your pH or hardness. The soft, rounded texture is gentle on the delicate barbels of corydoras and other bottom dwellers, making it as practical as it is good-looking. Show it off with live plants and driftwood.
