Nutrient-Rich Base Substrate for Planted Aquariums
Ultum Nature Systems Controbase is a highly porous, nutrient-rich base substrate designed to support heavy root-feeding aquatic plants. Made from pumice stone infused with slow-releasing nutrients like Nitrogen, Potassium, Phosphorus, and trace elements, Controbase helps regulate excess nutrients, improve plant vitality, and cultivate beneficial bacteria.
Its larger 6-8mm granule size enhances water flow and oxygenation, ensuring a healthy and balanced aquarium environment.
✅ Pre-Bagged in Mesh Filter Bags – Comes ready to use for easy placement and removal. Simply place the mesh bags in your aquarium without opening.
✅ Nutrient-Rich Formula – Infused with slow-releasing essential nutrients, lasting approximately three months before requiring replacement.
✅ Improves Water Circulation & Beneficial Bacteria Growth – The highly porous structure promotes better oxygenation and a stronger biological filtration system.
✅ Customizable for Aquascaping – Controbase can be stacked to create slope variations for an enhanced aquascape design.
✅ Ideal Pairing with Controsoil or Controsand – Designed to be layered underneath your preferred aquarium substrate for optimal plant growth and nutrient absorption.
Do Not Wash – Use as is, straight from the bag.
Spread Evenly – Place the mesh bags at the bottom of the aquarium before adding the top substrate.
Layer at Least 2 Inches of Substrate – Ensure a minimum of 2 inches of Controsoil, Controsand, or gravel is placed on top.
