Oase Hel-X 13 Bio Media
Oase Hel-X 13
Following rigorous Research & Development, OASE Engineers in Germany have successfully re-developed the Oase Hel-X Bio Media to further increase its biological settlement surface area by an additional 13%, resulting in the launch of Oase Hel-X 13 Biomedium. Oase Hel-X 13 consists of individual housings which allow beneficial aerobic bacteria to settle and breed inside the protected casings, helping to biologically break down soluble waste within the OASE ProfiClear Premium Moving Bed Filter Modules.
Oase Hel-X 13 allows a greater amount of bacteria to be contained within the same filter volume, resulting in more rapid breakdown of food and fish waste within the filter system. 25 Litres of Oase Hel-X 13 Biomedia now has the capacity to biologically break down 170g of food/day.
Oase Hel-X 13 can be used on any Filters to significantly increase their biological capacity but has been specifically designed for the OASE Pond Filters .
Quantity: 25 Litres
Oyster Shells
Oyster Shells
Oyster Shells have been used for years by Koi professionals to help with the pH of the water and to maintain optimal water conditions and is extensively used in Japan.
Since the Oyster Shells will generally raise the pH level in your water, these should only be used in cases of low pH.
Oyster Shell generally will raise the level of the pH.
For those that ever ever been to Japan, Oyster shell is used extensively by the breeders in Japan, these soluble (soft) shells are used to stabilise the pH.
Oyster shells stabilise the pH / KH-value which prevents pH crash. If the KH value drops to this starts to dissolve the shells until balance is reached again. Nitrifying bacteria also grows on the oyster shell.
Vortex Brushes
Vortex Brushes
Vortex chambers are good for settling out heavy waste but much less efficient with the lightweight particles. Have you noticed that even though you get a lot of waste in the bottom of your vortex, you still find that the subsequent chambers get very dirty too. This is the very fine particles that do not have time to settle in the vortex and so they get drawn through the transfer port into the next chamber.
First, they physically trap the large particles that cannot pass through the close weave of the interlocking filaments. Secondly, the filaments have a static charge that ‘grabs’ any small particles that are flowing by. This charge holds onto the waste until you do your routine cleaning. Thirdly, after you have been using the brushes for a few weeks, the massive surface area of the brushes becomes home to millions of beneficial nitrifying bacteria that will help to purify your water biologically.
Zeolite 10ltr (SuperFish)
Zeolite
Zeolite reduces the Ammonia in your pond creating a healthier environment for your Koi. It works by trapping and absorbing Ammonia, extracting it from your ponds water.
Ammonia is the number one killer of pond fish, maintaining a health level of ammonia within in your ponds ecosystem is essential, and this product can aid in this process.
As it absorbs the ammonia, soaking in salt overnight will release the entrapped ammonia enabling it to be reused. However, should you need to treat your pond with salt or other medications you must remove the Zeolite from your filter system as the entrapped ammonia will be released back into your system.
Quantity: 10 LTR
Please Note: You will need the media bags to put the zeolite in with this product.
