UNS Controsand - Monterey

Controsand is a natural substrate custom blended for freshwater aquarium and terrarium use. Made available in various tones and granule sizes to achieve the perfect aquascape, it is safe for fish, invertebrates and reptiles. Use in conjuction with Ultum Nature Systems Controsoil aquarium plant substrate to achieve optimum results.

Monterey is a beautiful gravel featuring a mixture of neutral tones. Monterey can be used alone or paired with a fine natural sand to create a customized blend. Monterey is ideal for adding extra detail and for aquariums that require larger granules.

Whether you're setting up your first aquascape, or you've been in the hobby for years, Controsand is easy to use. Just rinse the substrate gently to remove finer grains, then distribute to specific areas as a natural accent.

Key Features & Benefits
