Tahitian Sand

Best substrate for Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika Cichlids?
I'm going to upgrade my 55 gallon to a 110 gallon tank in a few days. Currently my substrate is crushed coral in my 55 gallon however I am looking to change b/cause it is so messy and it washes the color from my fish. I am thinking about going to CaribSea Instant Aquarium Tahitian Moon Gravel. I would like to keep the color black as it is best in bringing out the fishes colors. Is the Tahitian moon gravel better than sand or vice versa? Any suggestions would be of help. Thank You!

Browse some great substrates above.
There are many substrates to chose from, many with lots of black in there. Get something that will help maintain your pH so life is easier on you and the fish! Tahiti moon will not help you with your pH or hardness. It is best to get a substrate that is both dark and helps with the water chemistry as you get more bang for your buck!
Of live sands, Eco- Complete™ Cichlid Zack Black is nice and dark but helps to maintain pH. T
he Eco-Complete™ Cichlid Gravel is a nice and dark but natural substrate. You will see interesting cichlid behavior with these multiple sized gravels. Some like to sort the gravel and make piles of similar size rocks! It is really neat to watch.
Of the dry stuff the African Cichlid Mix™ is nice and dark. There are also the natural looks and black/white sand.
All will help with coloration.
Enjoy!
