EHEIM SUBSTRATpro+O2xygen is a filter material that has revolutionized biological water purification. This latest development, based on the proven SUBSTRATpro, combines first-class materials and state-of-the-art technology.
The secret to the extraordinary effect of EHEIM SUBSTRATpro+O2xygen lies in the precious mineral tourmaline it contains. Thanks to its unique pyroelectric properties, it generates electron-activated oxygen (superoxygen O2-) when in contact with water, which optimizes the oxygen supply to the filter substrate and creates ideal conditions for filter bacteria. This stimulates metabolic processes in the aquarium and activates the vital functions of fish, plants and the entire aquatic ecosystem.
Efficient removal of pollutants - the spherical structure ensures high bulk density and optimal use of the available filter space. The ceramic material with a porosity of 45% provides a huge surface area for beneficial microorganisms. The combination of a large colonization surface and activated oxygen allows pollutants to be broken down more quickly and efficiently, ensuring crystal clear water and a healthy ecosystem. Robust and environmentally friendly – the filter material undergoes a special heat treatment at over 1000 °C, making it particularly stable and durable, and guaranteeing exceptional durability. It is pH-neutral, recyclable and suitable for fresh and salt water.
