UNS Controbase

UNS Controbase

UNS Controbase is a highly porous, nutrient-rich substrate designed specifically for planted aquariums. Made from pumice stone infused with slow-release Nitrogen, Potassium, Phosphorus, and trace elements, it offers several benefits, including strong support for heavy root-feeding aquatic plants and regulation of excess nutrients. Its larger granule size of 6-8mm enhances water flow and oxygenation, encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria and boosting overall plant health.
