Alfagrog

Alfagrog is a volcanic rock, proven to be a successful filter media as it ideal for the colonization of beneficial bacteria. The porous composition of this media allows the bacteria to multiply in abundance over a short period of time. The sharp edges of this natural rock require careful handling, and it is best situated in the last chamber of your filter, as you would not want your Koi rubbing against it! Remember to wear protective gloves whilst cleaning.

Why is it so effective:

The key to effective biological filtration is choosing media with the highest surface area possible to allow beneficial bacteria to colonise and remove waste from the water. Alfagrog has an extremely high surface area by volume compared with other types of filter media on the market.

Alfagrog is very inert and soon colonises with beneficial bacteria. Alfagrog is made of a highly porous material that contains many thousands of tiny pockets in which bacteria can thrive making in an ideal material for biological filters

Its only draw back is its sharp on the hands when cleaning so please wear gloves..

Kusuri Lithaqua

Kusuri Lithaqua is a natural calcified seaweed. A pH buffer that can last a number of years. Lithaqua is a marine mineral sometimes referred to as coral, however it is calcified seaweed, high in trace elements and carbonates. Ideal for use in tanks and filter bays. Average particule size is 2-4mm. Modern filters contain many varied plastic media. These provide good support for bacteria, but Lithaqua goes one stage further. Not only do beneficial bacteria draw nutrients from the media, the media being of porous construction has a huge surface area up to 20 times greater than most plastic media. However the main advantage of Lithaqua is the high level of Carbonates which will improve carbonate alkalinity in soft water. It neutralizes low acid pH and reduces pH swings. It will keep the pH above 7, negating the use of quick fix short term pH buffers. Read more
