UNS Controsand - Vesuvius Gravel

Ultum Nature Systems Controsand is a line of decorative sand substrates designed for use in planted aquariums and aquascaping. All varieties of Controsand are inert and designed for cosmetic usage. As such, the sand will not alter water parameters and has no buffering effect on pH levels or water hardness. Controsand also does not slow-release ammonia over time.

Vesuvius is a larger gravel made from Black lava Rock. This popular type of material is commonly used in aquascaping and is loved for its porosity and ability to support beneficial bacteria colonization. A solid choice alone or in combination with another type of UNS Controsand.

Whether you're setting up your first aquascape, or you've been in the hobby for years, Controsand is easy to use. Just rinse the substrate gently to remove finer grains, then distribute to specific areas as a natural accent.

Key Features & Benefits

• Natural Gravel Tone: An blend of variable cool and warm hues, as well as its differing pebble sizes give Santa Fe an authentic look perfect for naturalistic or biotope aquascapes. It's best used as an accent substrate to recreate the look of a naturally-occurring habitat, such as a riverbed or stream.
• Parameters: Please be aware some Controsand products may affect or alter PH and/or parameters.
• Root Development Support: Controsand's unique granule composition encourages strong root development, ensuring your plants anchor securely into the substrate and absorb nutrients effectively.
