UNS Controsand – Mojave

Description

Ultum Nature Systems Controsand is a premium line of decorative sand substrates crafted for planted aquariums and advanced aquascaping. Mojave Controsand features a fine blend of warm, reddish-brown granules, offering a rich, natural aesthetic ideal for desert-style layouts or as a warm accent against darker base substrates. Its vivid tone beautifully complements brightly colored aquatic plants and livestock, enhancing visual contrast and vibrancy.

Whether you're building your first aquascape or refining an experienced setup, Controsand is beginner-friendly and easy to use. Simply rinse gently to remove fine dust particles, then distribute evenly to achieve a natural, earthy aquascape foundation.


Key Features & Benefits

  • Natural Sand Tone
    Warm, authentically colored sand ideal for desert-style aquascapes or to highlight darker base substrates. Pairs exceptionally well with vivid aquatic plants and livestock.

  • Root Development Support
    Carefully selected granule sizes promote strong root anchoring and healthy nutrient uptake for thriving aquatic plants.

  • Safe for Bottom-Dwellers
    Suitable for shrimp and other bottom-dwelling species that sift and forage through substrate.


Product Specifications

  • Approximate Grain Size: 0.4 ~ 0.9 mm

  • Available Sizes: 3L and 8L bags

  • Important Note: Mojave Controsand may alter water chemistry by slightly increasing hardness.

They even advised what to do during loadshedding. The service is great. I can't wait to establish a long term relationship with the store!"
