{"product_id":"uns-controbase","title":"UNS Controbase","description":"\u003cp\u003eUNS Controbase is a nutrient-rich substrate additive for planted aquariums. The porous pumice-based granules are placed as a base layer in the substrate and support especially heavy root-feeding aquatic plants in nutrient uptake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe granules have a grain size of approximately 6–8 mm and, thanks to their open and porous structure, improve water circulation within the substrate. This creates favourable conditions for beneficial microorganisms that support the biological balance in the aquarium and promote healthy plant growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControbase is enriched with essential plant nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus and trace elements. These nutrients are slowly released over several months and remain continuously available to plants through their root systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe substrate is supplied in practical mesh bags. These allow easy placement in the aquarium and enable simple removal or reuse if required. The bags can also be stacked to create different substrate heights and natural layout structures within the aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNutrient-rich substrate additive for planted aquariums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase substrate layer for aquascapes and planted tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePorous pumice granules (approx. 6–8 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnriched with nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus and trace elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports heavy root-feeding aquatic plants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves water circulation and oxygen supply within the substrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes the growth of beneficial bacteria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow nutrient release over several months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMesh bags allow easy placement, removal and reuse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBags can be stacked to create substrate elevation and layout structures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrain size: 6–8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControbase is used as a nutrient base layer in the aquarium and should always be covered with a substrate such as soil, sand or gravel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace the mesh bags in the aquarium (avoid placing them directly against the glass panels)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf required, stack multiple bags to create height in the layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThen cover with aquarium substrate such as soil, sand or gravel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfterwards plant the aquarium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"UNS","offers":[{"title":"2L","offer_id":56489473999227,"sku":null,"price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8L","offer_id":56489474031995,"sku":null,"price":84.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/6387\/6487\/files\/ControBase.png?v=1791282171","url":"https:\/\/charterhouse-aquatics.com\/products\/uns-controbase","provider":"Charterhouse Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
