UNS Controsoil Black

UNS Controsoil Black is a quality planted aquarium substrate designed to provide a foundation for healthy plant growth while maintaining stable water conditions for freshwater inhabitants.

A quality planted aquarium substrate provides the foundation for healthy plant growth.

Ultum Nature Systems Controsoil is a natural blend of soil and volcanic ash. Setting it apart from other substrates, Controsoil does not contain high nutrient levels that can cause spikes in ammonia levels. It primarily focuses on impurity absorption and providing balance from the start. This approach makes UNS Controsoil a great choice for all skill levels and allows anyone to create a beautiful aquarium.

Benefits:

  • No Rinsing Required
    Inhibits cloudy water by actively absorbing impurities
  • Low Ammonia Release
    Promotes and accelerates beneficial bacteria growth
  • pH & kH buffering
    Buffers water to slightly acidic pH and lowers total water hardness for better aquatic plant nutrient consumption environment
  • Optimal For Fish And Shrimp
    Suitable for all fresh water inhabitants such as tropical fish and shrimp that prefer slightly acidic aquarium water
  • Designed For Planted Aquariums
    Granule composition and sizes provide optimal oxygen exchange for aquatic plants

DATA ANALYSIS
Ultum Nature Systems Controsoil along with a competing freshwater planted aquarium soil were scientifically tested in a controlled environment. The test was performed by a published, independent third party and consisted of an experiment using both soils side by side for a 2 week duration. RODI water was used and water changes were not performed for the entire duration to ensure continuity and to prevent data inaccuracy that would adversely affect final results.

The below findings indicate that Ultum Nature Systems Controsoil is an ideal choice for all freshwater planted aquariums.*

TDS
Measures the levels of combined organic and inorganic substances found in aquarium water other than pure H2O molecules. These solids consist primarily of minerals, salts and organic matter. This measurement can be used to determine the water source’s general quality and purity. Weekly water changes are encouraged to decrease TDS.

AMMONIA (NH3) and NITRATE (NO3)
Ammonia provides a jumpstart in a newly set up aquarium quickly without the use of third party chemicals and/or additional product(s). As ammonia decreases, nitrate levels increase. Once this step begins, livestock additions may be considered. This process is often referred to as “cycling a tank”. UNS Controsoil begins this process by immediately releasing minimal amounts of ammonia into the water column. Based on controlled tests performed, an aquarium may be cycled in less than 2 weeks time when using Controsoil.
During the 2 week test period, ammonia levels spiked following the 6th day. This was due to the absence of water changes. Weekly water changes are always highly recommended to prevent ammonia spikes. A spike can be potentially lethal to all aquarium livestock.

PH
A measure of acidity and alkalinity. Controsoil successfully stabilizes pH levels to 6.8pH over time. This pH level is ideal for all tropical livestock, freshwater shrimp and aquatic plants. It is important to note that stable pH environments positively affect the longevity of a planted aquarium and its livestock.

Volume and Tank Size Recommendation
3 Liter - 9 Gallon (34 liters) Tank: (Ultum Nature Systems 45U Standard Tank

10 Liter - 20 Gallon Tank (75 liters) Tank: Ultum Nature Systems 60U Standard Tank

Controsoil is available in various granule sizes and colors to accommodate user preference and aquatic plant choice.

FINE - Ideal for shorter root aquatic plants such as foreground plants
NORMAL - The standard for larger scale aquariums and aquatic plants with thicker root

Imperfect characters
Format: Kindle
4.5 stars ⭐ I don't really understand the harsh criticism in some of these reviews (Goodreads). I rarely write reviews myself, but I think this book deserves it. Look, it absolutely has its issues. I wasn't feeling it in the beginning -- the first few chapters were all tell and no show, literally just telling us all this background in a few paragraphs rather than feeding us bits and pieces at a time. The writing significantly improves after a few chapters, though. And I didn't catch any spelling or grammatical typos often found in new, self published books.  After the rough start, I absolutely flew through the rest of the book and couldn't put it down. Seriously stayed up until 2am with it. So I also don't agree with comments calling it boring. Definitely did not bore me. I thought it ticked all the right boxes: romance, fantasy, a magic system, tragedy, fate, character growth.  A lot of the poor reviews I'm seeing are in regards to the FMC's character. Personally, I like flawed characters and think it's more realistic than reading the POV of someone who always makes the right decisions, is always honest, is always selfless, etc. Humans aren't like that. Readers love when male leads are morally grey, but God forbid a woman isn't perfect.  So I like flawed characters and I like a little bit of tragedy, which the author provides. Ends on a cliffhanger, and I can't wait to read the sequel next month. I really want to learn more about Malachi.  All in all, not a bad start from this author. Give it a chance. SOMEWHAT SPOILERY: I LOVE the concept of fated mates that kind of hate each other. Most books with the fated mates trope allow the characters to immediately fall for each other and get together relatively easily. But this is way more interesting ;)

what just happened
Format: Kindle
I’m not gonna lie. This story had me from the beginning. It’s something about a girl running from an obsessive stalker that happens to be set in a fantasy realm. This story had everything you could want in a great plot. I mean intrigue, politics, betrayal, murder, witches, shades, fairies, shifter, etc. My heart grieved for Dahlia and everything she went through and honestly i don’t know who to root for in this story as all the males are morally gray which I love. All have a hint of evil. Book up this book and you won’t be disappointed. Soo ready for the next book.

Beta readers, please
Format: Kindle
I haven’t written a review in a while but this one motivated me to because it had potential and with some honest beta readers correcting its nonsense, it could have been pretty good. The writing is awkward at times and the world building was slow and one dimensional until around half way through and then it got much better. The main issues are with the characters, dialogue and plot. The FMC swings from stupidly trusting her “ friends” even when she is repeatedly betrayed to hating those who betrayed her to seemingly forgetting she hated them. It’s a whirlwind that reeks of adolescent drama and doesn’t fit the plot the author was trying, I think, to execute. The ridiculous decisions the character makes are so obviously made to move the plot in the direction the author was trying to go and was so basic in plot writing it was at times like reading a teenager’s writing project. It was hard to connect to the main character and hard to like any of the others. The author has potential but it was not met in this book. I will not be reading the next and really had to push through to even finish this one.

I liked this a lot. Fast paced, some deception, a lil bit of scheming, and not such a happy ending.

Good Read
Format: Kindle
Dahlia, Ryken and Aiden are in quite the lovers triangle. I was very invested in Dahlia’s story and what was going to happen next. I loved that she fought for herself and tried to stand up for what she believed and her friends, rather than just giving in. Even though there were predictable portions of the story, I was still invested enough not to care. I’m curious what will happen in book 2. The spice level is mild, but maybe it will get spicier?? The only reason I gave the story four stars was because the world building in the beginning of the story was a bit confusing. I could’ve used a bit more explanation. Overall - I recommend to anyone who loves a story about lovers triangles & a FMC who struggles with an overwhelming power.
