Sera Siporax Professional[Volume - 1L]

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.
