UNS Controsoil 1L XFine Brown is a planted aquarium substrate developed to support steady plant growth and stable water conditions in freshwater layouts. This formulation combines natural soil with volcanic ash to promote impurity uptake and balanced parameters from the initial setup.

The substrate is engineered to keep nutrient output moderate, helping to limit sudden ammonia elevation during the early stages of an aquascape. Its fine texture offers secure anchoring for delicate roots while maintaining a clean, uniform appearance across the aquarium floor.

Controsoil is produced in multiple grain sizes and color options, giving aquarists flexibility to match substrate choice with planting style, livestock, and overall design.

Key features

• Ready for use straight from the bag, with no rinsing typically needed
• Formulated for restrained ammonia release at startup
• Provides gentle pH & kH buffering to encourage consistent water chemistry
• Suitable for tropical fish and freshwater shrimp displays
• Intended for freshwater and planted aquarium setups
• Available in two color options and three grain sizes

Bag size

1L XFine Brown is an appropriate quantity for compact aquariums such as the UNS 20C cube, depending on the desired substrate depth and layout.

Grain size details

The extra fine granules measure approximately 1 mm (0.04 in), making them well suited to planted aquariums featuring plants with slender, delicate root systems such as Hemianthus callitrichoides. This size also works effectively in nano tanks or as a finishing layer over coarser substrates in existing aquariums.
