The Nano-Sponge Filter is an advanced filtration solution suitable for a variety of aquarium inhabitants, including guppies, neon tetras, shrimp, and various fish fry. The Nano-Sponge features finely porous poles that enhance the growth of beneficial bacteria, contributing to a crystal-clear aquatic environment. Instructions:Before using, rinse the sponge under tap water to remove any impurities. Secure the filter inside your aquarium and connect it to an air pump using the provided connector. To prevent water from flowing back during a power outage, it is advisable to use a check valve. Maintenance:The Nano-Sponge Filter is designed for repeated use. When it’s time to clean, gently rinse the sponge with aquarium water and squeeze lightly; avoid using tap water as it may harm the beneficial bacteria residing on the sponge.

sera siporax pond is an effective biological filter medium suitable for nearly all garden pond filtration systems With just 1 liter (1 US quart) of sera siporax pond, you can achieve the same settling area for beneficial bacteria as approximately 34 liters (9 US gal.) of traditional clay filter material. It's advisable to use sera biofibres coarse as a prefilter to keep larger particles from clogging the biofilter. sera siporax pond features an extensive network of open-pored tunnel structures, providing bacteria with an optimal supply of nutrients and minimal fresh water. The oxygen-poor environment within these tunnels encourages bacteria to break down nitrate to access sufficient oxygen. As a result, they consistently reduce nitrate levels, keeping your pond water clean and low in nitrate. One liter (one US quart) of sera siporax Professional boasts nearly the same biological filtration efficiency as 34 liters (9 US gal.) of clay filter media. Calculation formula for sera siporax pond: One liter (one US quart) of sera siporax pond can effectively purify 1,000 liters (264 US gal.) of pond water, accommodating 20 pond fish each measuring 10 cm (4 in.) or a similar biomass, which is approximately 1.5 kg (3.3 lb.) of fish consuming up to 40 g (1.4 oz.) of premium food daily, while effectively reducing organic pollutants over time.

Optimal Enhancement of Biological Filtration The original sera siporax Professional is designed for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, as well as ponds. Regardless of the type of filter (internal, external, or trickle), it maximizes the surface area needed for biological purification and offers the ideal substrate for beneficial filter bacteria to thrive. The filtering and decomposition processes occurring at the bottom of natural water bodies play a crucial role. Organic waste is decomposed by microorganisms, making it available as nutrients for aquatic plants—effectively removing pollutants like ammonium, nitrite, and nitrate. In nature, the minimal waste generated per water volume means that the existing bottom surface is usually adequate to support a healthy population of microorganisms. However, an aquarium represents a compact biotope in limited space. Therefore, it is essential to maximize the settling area to ensure the thorough and safe breakdown of organic debris. sera has skillfully implemented this concept with the innovative high-performance filter medium, sera siporax. Unlike other filter media available on the market, sera siporax is made from sintered glass. This unique material features a distinctive three-dimensional pore structure that significantly increases the surface area. Simultaneously, the fine pores create optimal conditions for the bacteria that decompose pollutants. Because it forms an interconnected system, the bacteria are continuously flushed by water, allowing them to break down pollutants with maximum efficiency. Additionally, the unique pore arrangement enables self-cleaning of the substrate, resulting in extended filter longevity.

Optimal Enhancement of Biological Filtration The original sera siporax Professional is ideal for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, as well as ponds. Regardless of the type of filter used (internal, external, or trickle), it maximizes the surface area needed for biological cleansing while providing the perfect substrate for beneficial filter bacteria to thrive. The processes of filtration and decomposition occurring in the substrate of natural waters are crucial. Micro-organisms break down organic waste, making it available as nutrients for aquatic plants—simultaneously eliminating harmful substances like ammonium, nitrite, and nitrate. In nature, minimal waste is produced in relation to the water volume, allowing the existing substrate to support a sufficient population of micro-organisms. However, an aquarium represents a compact biotope, necessitating the maximization of surface area to ensure thorough and reliable decomposition of organic remnants. sera has successfully implemented this concept with the innovative high-performance filter medium, sera siporax. In contrast to other filter rings on the market, sera siporax is made from sintered glass. This exceptional material boasts a unique three-dimensional pore structure that significantly increases surface area. The fine pores create ideal conditions for bacteria that degrade pollutants. As it forms an interconnected system, the bacteria are continually washed by water, allowing them to efficiently break down contaminants. Additionally, the unique pore arrangement facilitates self-cleansing of the substrate, resulting in extended filter longevity.

The Sera Pond Pressure Filter T Series is designed for superior filtration with its high-capacity pressure filters. Constructed from durable ABS plastic, it can be conveniently buried next to the pond's edge. The fittings are versatile and compatible with various hose sizes (19, 25, 32, 40 mm or 3/4, 1, 1 and 1/4, 1 and 1/2"). Included in the set are filter sponges, which are also available for purchase as replacements. To operate effectively, the filters in this series require an additional pump. A compatible option is the Sera Pond Pump PP that can handle a capacity of 50 liters of filter. The ideal pump for powering the filter is the Sera Pond Pump PP 6000. This pump is suitable for ponds with a total volume of up to 12,000 liters.

EHEIM phosphateoutA chemical phosphate remover that helps prevent algae growthEHEIM phosphateout is a unique iron-based compound designed for chemical filtration. This iron effectively captures phosphate, removing it from the water system and gradually lowering the phosphate levels in your aquarium. This process helps to curb algae proliferation within the tank.If you notice an increase in phosphate levels and consequently in algae growth, it's an indication that the filter medium is exhausted and needs to be replaced.EHEIM phosphateout is available for external filters in granulated form and for internal filters as a foam filter cartridge. It contains no harmful substances and is suitable for both freshwater and marine environments.Phosphate remover effectively prevents algae growthIron-based compound, free from harmful substancesCompatible with both freshwater and marine environmentsUse once (replace when phosphate levels begin to rise)Available in granulated form for external filters, and as a foam filter cartridge for internal filtersEHEIM phosphateout for internal filters aquaball and biopowerDepending on the type, chemical filter media can regulate the pH value and water hardness (such as peat) or lower phosphate levels and inhibit algae growth (like phosphateout).The pH level of tap water typically ranges from 7.3 to 7.8, making it slightly alkaline. However, many ornamental fish thrive in more acidic conditions, requiring a pH below 7.0. EHEIM TORFpellets can help lower pH levels and decrease water hardness.Phosphates primarily arise from organic waste in the aquarium water (such as fish remains and excrement) and contribute to algae blooms. EHEIM phosphateout binds these phosphates, effectively removing them from the water circulation.For the internal filters aquaball and biopower, there are specialized foam cartridges available instead of granules. These cartridges are infused with the iron compound that captures phosphates. If you observe an increase in phosphate levels, it's a sign that the cartridge has reached its limit and must be replaced.
