Ultum Nature Systems Controsand – Vesuvius
Decorative Substrate for Planted Aquariums & Aquascaping
Ultum Nature Systems Controsand is a premium line of decorative sand substrates designed for use in planted aquariums and aquascaping. Vesuvius Controsand is a chunky gravel made from Black Lava Rock, offering a porous surface that supports a healthy ecosystem. Its inert composition makes it ideal for freshwater aquariums, ensuring water chemistry remains stable.
This versatile substrate works well as a standalone choice or can be mixed with other sands for a custom look. Vesuvius Controsand is particularly beneficial in shrimp tanks, as its unique texture provides a perfect environment for these creatures to forage and explore.
Whether you're a seasoned aquascaper or just starting out, Controsand is easy to use. Simply rinse gently to remove finer particles, then distribute evenly in your aquarium for a naturally earthy aesthetic.

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.
