View detailsFrequently asked questions
Will UNS Controsand alter water hardness (GH/KH) or pH?
No. All UNS Controsand varieties are 100% natural and completely chemically inert, ensuring zero impact on your pH, GH, or KH parameters.
How should I clean UNS Controsand before adding it to the scape?
Rinse Controsand gently in a bucket with cold water prior to placement to remove microscopic dust particles produced during transit.
Can I combine Controsand with Controsoil?
Yes. Aquascapers frequently use Controsoil in raised planting zones behind hardscape barriers and Controsand in open foregrounds and river pathways for dramatic visual contrast.
