Introducing Ultum Nature Systems Controsoil, a natural aquarium substrate made in Japan. Consisting of high-quality natural soil and volcanic ash, choosing a quality substrate is an essential part of creating a nature aquarium, as it provides vital nutrients for lush plant growth and helps balance water properties by decreasing hardness and pH, creating an optimal environment for aquatic plants, shrimp, and most tropical fish.

Controsoil stands out by avoiding excessive nutrients, which can otherwise cause ammonia spikes and unsightly algae during the initial stages of an aquarium setup. It provides the perfect level of nutrients without excess. Suitable for all skill levels, Controsoil is available in various bag sizes, granule sizes, and colors to accommodate user preferences and aquatic plant choices, making it an excellent choice for beginners.

Why we recommend Ultum Nature Systems Controsoil: - No rinsing required - No excessive nutrient leeching - Buffers water to a slightly acidic pH for better nutrient consumption - Suitable for all freshwater inhabitants - Available in 3 different granule sizes and two colors - Provides optimal oxygen exchange and rich nutrients

To determine the amount of Controsoil needed, the general rule of thumb is one 3L bag per 5 gallons or one 10L bag per 20 gallons. The substrate is available in three granule sizes - Extra Fine (~1mm), Fine (~3mm), and Normal (~5mm) - to cater to different aquarium sizes and plant requirements.

Ultum Nature Systems Controsoil has earned an impressive 4.5 out of 5 stars from 401 customer reviews, highlighting its effectiveness in creating a thriving, nature-inspired aquarium environment.
