Sera Siporax 500ml

Sera Siporax Professional is suitable for use in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums and ponds. Regardless of the type of filter (internal / external / jet), this filler maximizes the surface area required for biological treatment and provides an optimal substrate for the settlement of the necessary filter bacteria.

In nature, the processes of filtration and decay of organic matter in the bottom sediments of natural reservoirs play an extremely important role. Organic waste is processed by microorganisms and becomes available as nutrients for aquatic plants, and thus is re-involved in the natural cycle. Harmful substances such as ammonium, nitrites and nitrates are removed. In natural reservoirs, the bottom surface is sufficient for the settlement of microorganisms in the amount necessary for the processing of organic waste, since this is a natural "biotope".
An aquarium, unlike nature, is a "small biotope in a confined space." That is why it is necessary to maximize the surface area for the settlement of microorganisms in order to ensure the complete and reliable decomposition of organic waste in the aquarium.

Sera has solved this problem in practice with the unique sera siporax high performance filter media. Unlike other ring-shaped filter materials on the market, sera siporax consists of sintered glass. The unique material surpasses analogues due to the special structure of three-dimensional pores. It allows you to maximize the surface of the material in relation to its volume. At the same time, this pore structure provides ideal conditions for the colonization of bacteria that break down water pollutants. Thus, this is an interconnected system - the colonies of bacteria are constantly washed by running water with harmful substances dissolved in it and, therefore, can process harmful substances with maximum efficiency. In addition, the unique pore structure allows the material to self-clean, and thus allows it to be dispensed with for a long time without rinsing.
In combination with specialized bacteria, Sera Siporax also performs many other special tasks, such as preventing the development of unwanted algae or purifying the water from harmful substances.
