About this item
Ultum Nature Systems Controsand – Mojave
Decorative Sand for Planted Aquariums & Aquascaping
Mojave Controsand is a fine, natural sand substrate featuring a mixture of warm, reddish-brown granules. Its rich, earthy hue makes it an excellent choice for creating desert-style aquascapes, or as an accent to darker base substrates. The warm tones of Mojave Controsand also beautifully complement vibrantly colored aquatic plants and livestock.
Ideal for both beginner and experienced aquascapers, Controsand is easy to use. Simply rinse the substrate gently to remove any finer particles, then spread it evenly across your aquarium for a naturally earthy tone.

Key Features & Benefits:
✔ Warm, Natural Sand Tone – Perfect for desert-style aquascapes or enhancing darker substrates. Adds warmth to your tank and complements colorful plants and livestock.
✔ Root Development Support – The unique granule composition ensures strong plant root anchorage and efficient nutrient absorption.
✔ Compatible with Bottom-Dwellers – Ideal for shrimp and other bottom-dwelling species that sift through the sand.

Top Mentions
Beautiful addition to my reef!
The fish arrived in perfect condition. Packaging was triple insulated with heat packs. Acclimation was smooth and it was eating frozen mysis within 2 hours of introduction. AquaEditorial never disappoints.
Great value for the price
Exactly as described. Fast shipping and very well packed.
Good but picky eater
Beautiful specimen, arrived healthy. Takes a while to adjust to new food but eventually started eating pellets. Great addition to my South American cichlid tank.
FAQs
What temperature should I keep the tank at for this fish?
Great question! We recommend maintaining a water temperature of 82–86°F (28–30°C). Discus are tropical fish and thrive in warm, stable water conditions. A reliable heater with a thermostat is essential.
Can I keep this with other fish in a community tank?
Yes! Discus are peaceful and social. They do best with calm tank mates like Cardinal Tetras, Rummy Nose Tetras, and Corydoras Catfish. Avoid aggressive or fast-moving fish that may stress them.
What size tank do I need for a small group?
We recommend a minimum of 55 gallons for a small group of discus. They need spacious aquariums with open swimming areas, live plants, driftwood, and gentle filtration.
What should I feed them?
Discus are omnivores and benefit from a varied diet. We recommend high-quality discus pellets, frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, and beef heart mixes. A varied diet helps maintain vibrant coloration.
Do you guarantee live arrival?
Absolutely! All live fish are shipped with our 100% Live Arrival Guarantee. If there are any issues upon delivery, contact us within 2 hours with photos and we'll make it right.
