Description

Each bag contains 10L Controsoil in, 3-5mm particle size.

Choosing a quality substrate is an essential part of a nature aquarium as it provides vital nutrients for lush plant growth and helps balance water properties by decreasing the hardness/pH to optimal levels for aquatic plants, shrimp, and most tropical fish.

Originating in Japan, Controsoil consists of high-quality natural soil and volcanic ash. It’s common for competing substrates to cause ammonia levels to spike. While this helps “jump start” a tank and promotes plant growth; it is toxic to livestock and can cause unsightly algae during initial stages of an aquarium set up. Controsoil provides the perfect level of nutrients without excess. Many have successfully added livestock within the first 24 hours of a newly set up tank with this substrate without worry. We do, however, suggest making sure that ammonia and nitrites are eliminated before adding livestock.

  • No Rinsing Required
    Inhibits cloudy water by actively absorbing impurities
  • Low Ammonia Release
    Promotes and accelerates beneficial bacteria growth
  • pH & kH buffering
    Buffers water to slightly acidic pH and lowers total water hardness for better aquatic plant nutrient consumption environment
  • Optimal For Fish And Shrimp
    Suitable for all fresh water inhabitants such as tropical fish and shrimp that prefer slightly acidic aquarium water
  • Designed For Planted Aquariums
    Granule composition and sizes provide optimal oxygen exchange and rich nutrients for aquatic plants

What is the essence of a beautiful landscape? The compositional beauty produced by flora and other things may be part of it, but isn't it ultimately a perfectly functioning ecosystem? It is, in fact, a balance. The world of aquarium is no exception.....'what type of environment would I prefer if I were a fish' was always at the base when the layouts were created.
