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

Comfy soft pillow covers
Color: 02 - White, Size: Queen (20" X 30"), Color: 02 - White, Size: Queen (20" X 30")
Absolutely love these pillow cases! I bought 2 sets. After I received them & washed & dried them they did remain wrinkly. I just went ahead and put them on my pillows & the wrinkles went away. I continue to love the feel, coolness & comfort. Will definitely buy more.

These Bamboo Pillowcases Made Me Realize I Sleep Hot
Color: 07 - Cream, Size: Queen (20" X 30"), Color: 07 - Cream, Size: Queen (20" X 30")
I bought these mostly because I kept hearing people talk about bamboo pillowcases and honestly thought it sounded a little overhyped, but I totally get it now. The first thing I noticed was how cool they felt compared to regular cotton. I tend to get warm when I sleep and flip my pillow a million times during the night looking for the cold side, and these actually stay noticeably cooler longer. They also feel really soft without having that weird slippery texture some silky pillowcases have. My skin has been less irritated lately and my hair definitely looks less frizzy in the mornings. I have thick hair that tangles easily overnight, and these have helped more than I expected. Another thing I appreciate is that they’ve washed well so far. I was worried they’d pill or lose softness after a wash cycle, but they still feel smooth and nice. They also just make the bed feel cleaner and more comfortable overall. One of those small upgrades that ends up making a bigger difference than you’d think.

Sheets are good. Greens don't match
Color: 08 - Sage Green, Size: King (20" X 36"), Color: 08 - Sage Green, Size: King (20" X 36")
I purchased the sage green sheets to go along with another Bedsure comforter, then purchased 2 more pillow cases (because i I like a lot of pillows) and the greens don't exactly match. This doesn't REALLY bother me as I feel like its fine with a little "texture." Sheets feel nice and light and I love the look of it in my room.
