UNS Controsoil Black (Normal) 3L Give your aquatic plants the best start with Ultum Nature Systems Controsoil. Made in Japan from high-quality natural soil and volcanic ash, this aquarium soil offers numerous benefits for a thriving underwater ecosystem: Ideal pH Levels: Controsoil buffers the water to maintain a pH below 7, which is perfect for Caridina shrimp and most tropical fish. Algae Prevention: Unlike other aquarium soils, UNS soil minimizes the risk of algae spikes during the initial setup phase, preventing "new tank syndrome." Ammonia Control: While some manufacturers add high levels of ammonia to aid in cycling, Controsoil ensures minimal ammonia, reducing the need for frequent water changes during the early stages of tank establishment. Easy to Use: Users have reported success with adding shrimp or fish within 24 hours of setup. However, it's recommended to cycle the tank first and ensure ammonia and nitrites are at 0. With normal granules of approximately 5mm, this 3L pack of UNS Controsoil Black is an efficient and reliable substrate for your planted aquarium.
