UNS Controsoil Black

UNS Controsoil Black is a quality planted aquarium substrate designed to provide a foundation for healthy plant growth while maintaining stable water conditions for freshwater inhabitants.

A quality planted aquarium substrate provides the foundation for healthy plant growth.

Ultum Nature Systems Controsoil is a natural blend of soil and volcanic ash. Setting it apart from other substrates, Controsoil does not contain high nutrient levels that can cause spikes in ammonia levels. It primarily focuses on impurity absorption and providing balance from the start. This approach makes UNS Controsoil a great choice for all skill levels and allows anyone to create a beautiful aquarium.

Benefits:

  • 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 for aquatic plants

DATA ANALYSIS
Ultum Nature Systems Controsoil along with a competing freshwater planted aquarium soil were scientifically tested in a controlled environment. The test was performed by a published, independent third party and consisted of an experiment using both soils side by side for a 2 week duration. RODI water was used and water changes were not performed for the entire duration to ensure continuity and to prevent data inaccuracy that would adversely affect final results.

The below findings indicate that Ultum Nature Systems Controsoil is an ideal choice for all freshwater planted aquariums.*

TDS
Measures the levels of combined organic and inorganic substances found in aquarium water other than pure H2O molecules. These solids consist primarily of minerals, salts and organic matter. This measurement can be used to determine the water source’s general quality and purity. Weekly water changes are encouraged to decrease TDS.

AMMONIA (NH3) and NITRATE (NO3)
Ammonia provides a jumpstart in a newly set up aquarium quickly without the use of third party chemicals and/or additional product(s). As ammonia decreases, nitrate levels increase. Once this step begins, livestock additions may be considered. This process is often referred to as “cycling a tank”. UNS Controsoil begins this process by immediately releasing minimal amounts of ammonia into the water column. Based on controlled tests performed, an aquarium may be cycled in less than 2 weeks time when using Controsoil.
During the 2 week test period, ammonia levels spiked following the 6th day. This was due to the absence of water changes. Weekly water changes are always highly recommended to prevent ammonia spikes. A spike can be potentially lethal to all aquarium livestock.

PH
A measure of acidity and alkalinity. Controsoil successfully stabilizes pH levels to 6.8pH over time. This pH level is ideal for all tropical livestock, freshwater shrimp and aquatic plants. It is important to note that stable pH environments positively affect the longevity of a planted aquarium and its livestock.

Volume and Tank Size Recommendation
3 Liter - 9 Gallon (34 liters) Tank: (Ultum Nature Systems 45U Standard Tank

10 Liter - 20 Gallon Tank (75 liters) Tank: Ultum Nature Systems 60U Standard Tank

Controsoil is available in various granule sizes and colors to accommodate user preference and aquatic plant choice.

FINE - Ideal for shorter root aquatic plants such as foreground plants
NORMAL - The standard for larger scale aquariums and aquatic plants with thicker root

Great ingredients - very strong scent
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have really dry skin and frequent eczema so ordered this lotion to try out. I use a standard colloidal oatmeal lotion typically and it's hard to find a good lotion that doesn't have petrolatum. This one uses olive and jojoba oils instead. I ran it through a product safety app and it scored a 93/100 which is REALLY good for an eczema lotion - the only potential problematic ingredient is peppermint leaf which can be an allergen for some folks. It comes with a pump for easy use and I didn't find the lotion too greasy or oily - it seemed to absorb well. My only problem with the lotion is how strong the tea tree oil scent is - I use eczema lotion at bedtime and the smell was so strong, it was keeping me awake. If you're sensitive to tea tree oil, that could be an issue. But it's great for daytime use and has a nice, fresh scent. It's preventing the dryness and cracking on my hands that typically happens with "normal" lotions so the oat kernel flour is doing its job. As long as you don't have an aversion to a strong tea tree oil scent, this is a perfect eczema lotion. I've only ever found a handful of them that don't use petrolatum and I appreciate that this one uses plant oils instead. It works to keep the hands from drying or cracking. The price tag is on point with the other eczema lotion I use with it currently being $21 for 16 oz. Definitely recommend this if you are looking for an ingredient-safe eczema lotion.
