Japanese Matting
Japanese Matting, probably one of the best of all the filtration media which is available in the UK today ..
Japanese Matting is extremely inert and easy to service, Japanese Matting is available in sheet form and can be cut to the desired sizes to fit your filter chamber by using an Angle Grinder or better still an ordinary Circular Saw but be careful and wear protective glasses and watch those fingers unlike the fins on our Koi fingers don’t grow again.

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.
Aqua Source Kano Shower Media
Ideal for all Shower type filters, Kano Shower Media will help maintain excellent water quality and also maintain the eco balance in your pond.
Made from the finest quartz and minerals, far infrared is heated up to 1800C to break up the internal bonds and create an incredibly porous surface, which encourages good bacteria to colonise in the huge protected surface area. The Kano Media emits FAR infrared rays that break the bonds of the neighbouring water molecules thereby allowing more oxygen to be dissolved in the water. Larger organic solids are dissolved quicker than conventional media. Kano Shower Media does not degrade and is pH neutral.
Kano Shower Media also provides a natural living environment for the cultivation of nitrifying bacteria, and also provides the necessary organic minerals for fish growth.
Kano Shower Media works as a ‘cleaner’ in the water ecosystem. It can improve the water quality efficiently and has
outstanding characteristics in relation to water flow, water pH improvement, oxygen content stabilization etc. All these can
successfully restore the water to its original crystal clear state. It also provides a favourable source for beneficial bacteria and for the reproductive growth of the aerobic bacteria and anaerobic bacteria, which are the two main necessary bacteria for the water quality
purification of aquaculture.
A high flow is recommended for maximum performance.
Media Grids
A most useful aid for anyone building their own filtration system these can be placed at a level that provides a void of water underneath the media itself and keeps the media out of any debris that may have gathered in the filter.
It supports the media and is quite robust and is a must really can be fixed together and cut to size using simply a fine toothed wood saw or angle grinder.

Kockney Koi Filter Brushes (Red)
Kockney Koi Filter Brushes are designed as a pre-filter for removing coarse waste and/or as a biological filter medium. Any design of filtration chamber will suit these brushes and they are easily removed for cleaning. These brushes are 10″ by 4″.
K+ Sinking Filter Media
New advanced filtration media
Plastic media, for use in biological pond filters – specifically in moving bed bio reactors, was pioneered by Evolution Aqua, some 20 years ago. In recent years, other plastic media have come onto the market, usually with the aim of trying to get more and more surface area. However, one drawback to using plastic media has always been the time it takes to establish a stable biofilm – essential for good filtration.
After many years of research, Evolution Aqua have now developed a new media that not only gives class leading surface area, but also overcomes the problem of long maturation times.
Class leading surface area
K+ Sinking Filter Media is designed and manufactured in the UK by Evolution Aqua. This advanced media, with its innovative design, and class leading surface area provides enhanced biological and mechanical filtration.
As Evolution Aqua extrude K+ Media, Minerals and Enzymes are added to the raw material. The result of this process, unique to Evolution Aqua, is a filtration media that not only out performs most of it’s competitors due to its large protected surface area, but also answers the problem of how to speed up the time taken to mature your filter.
Minerals added for faster filter maturation
During the extrusion process, Evolution Aqua add a range of minerals, along with magnesium, calcium, enzymes and salt to the raw material that is used to manufacture K+Media. The result means that K+Media will mature much faster than many other types of media.
Increased surface area
With a new shape and profile, K+ Sinking Filter Media has also been designed to have an increased and class leading surface area, meaning an overall surface area of 1,350m2 per m3. More importantly for biological filtration, the protected surface area of K+ Media is 1,025m2 per m3. This allows a stable bio-film to form and remain intact when used in moving bed biological filtration, as in the new Nexus+.
Stable bio-film development
The shape of K+ Sinking Filter Media optimises the amount of “quiet zones” within the media where a stable bio-film can develop. Whilst K+Media keeps the integral profile of K1 Media at its core, there is an extra layer of cells and fins around the outside of each piece that enable microscopic organisms such as Rotifers and Vorticella to thrive. This is an additional benefit as competitor media do not have such “quiet zones” that would allow these higher lifeforms of filter feeders to develop. The bacteria and organisms that form within the bio-film ensure the media delivers optimum levels of biological filtration in the moving bed, which has been proven filtration technology for many years in the fishkeeping hobby.
Evolution Aqua also recommend using K+ Media in combination with the PURE Pond and PURE+ Filter Start Gel to boost bacteria levels which in turn will stick to the media and speed up the maturation process even more.
Filter wool Roll
40m long
80cm wide
10-12mm thick
This filter retention wool will trap particles down to 10 microns, this makes this media an ideal solution for use for final collection before your water is returned to the pond. It is also an ideal solution for power filters.
This media is easily cleaned or can be used as a dissposable media removing the necessity for regular cleaning.
Koi Pro Spawning Brushes
Pack of 2 specially designed soft green spawning brushes each brush measures 1.5m by 140mm diameter.
Spawning is made easy with the help of these specially designed brushes. The breeding season is normally from April to July depending on the weather.
Place the Spawning Brushes just below water level, one above the other, at the edge of the pond, this will
encourages your fish to spawn, usually in the early hours.
Spawning takes several hours with the eggs sticking to the brushes.
After spawning, separate the brushes from the broodfish to avoid the eggs being eaten.
Place the brushes in filtered water of the same temperature and the fry will hatch in 3-6 days.
Small fish should be kept separate until they are large enough to be introduced to the pond.
Please Note: These spawning brushes are made from a soft material that won’t harm your fish. DO NOT USE filter brushes for this purpose
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.
