Ultum Nature Systems Controbase

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.
