Description
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..
Benefits over other filter media:
- Extremely high surface area
- Highly porous
- Inert, pH neutral
- Lightweight
- Available worldwide
- Economical
- Available in 15kg sacks
