Bacteria Home media
Bacteria home is a high-quality filter medium that is made from mineral rock. This porous rock is baked at a very high temperature. It is ideally suited for a bakki shower, but can also be used in other filters.
The microscopic pores immediately ensure a rapid growth of high concentrations of bacteria, which greatly improves the water quality. The bacteria filter harmful substances such as nitrate, nitrite and ammonia from the water.
The material is very porous and slightly rough on the surface, so that the water that is sprayed over it is, as it were, polished. Because colonies of anaerobic (low-oxygen) bacteria can nest in the pores of this filter media, which take care of the conversion of nitrate to nitrogen gas, you could prefer this type of filter media to non-porous filter media.
Two types of bacteria are involved in the aerobic (oxygen-rich) conversion. The Nitrosomonas bacterium converts ammonia into nitrite and the Nitrobacter bacterium then converts nitrite into nitrate. Although nitrate does not immediately pose a health risk to fish, high doses are not desirable. High nitrate levels promote strong algae growth; this mainly occurs in the spring because the bacteria have not yet multiplied sufficiently.
Anaerobic bacteria are used to convert nitrate into nitrogen gas. This process can only take place in the absence of oxygen, i.e. at places in the filter media where little or no oxygen is present and can reach. The first step in this process is the reversal of the nitrification process. Nitrate is converted back into nitrite. The second step of the denitrification is the conversion of nitrite into nitrogen gas. (N2). This gas can then be released without causing any further damage to the environment.
Bacteria Home also provides an increased mineral and redox value. It also brings considerably more oxygen into the water than, for example, aerated bottom drains. Bacteria Home improves your water quality up to 16 times more effectively than aerated underwater filtration.
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.
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.
Alfagrog
Alfagrog is a porous foamed ceramic material, which is lightweight, strong and inert.
It’s high surface area makes it the natural choice for colonisation by micro-organisms in biological filtration systems resulting in cleaner water.
The Alfagrog range of porous ceramic filter media is made under controlled conditions UK.
Selected clays and raw materials are rapidly sintered at high temperature to produce a foamed ceramic porous mass, which is crushed and sieved to a convenient particle size.
Alfagrog is available in a wide range of sizes giving the end user optimum media surface area in varying water flow rates.
The manufacturing process ensures that no substances are present to adversely affect the health of fish or plants. The material is pH neutral and can be used in both freshwater and marine applications.
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:
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.
The Bacteria House Media is a ceramic that has been heat treated at 1300°c for 60hrs. This tremendous amount of heat causes the ceramic to break its internal bonds thereby creating an extremely porous structure that has a much greater surface to allow very large bacteria populations to colonise within the Media .
Due to the large quantities of tiny holes in the Bacteria House Media, mechanical filtration is also achieved. Large organic solids and decaying matter are degraded at a far greater speed than conventional media.
One of the key elements of the Bacteria House Media is that it reacts in a seemingly ‘electrostatic’ manner with floating organic matter causing an increase in adhesion rate. This produces clear clean water at a rapid rate. Water in its natural state creates multiple bonds with surrounding water molecules creating a cluster. The Bacteria House Media emits FAR infrared rays that break the bonds of the neighbouring water molecules thereby allowing more oxygen to be dissolved in the water.
Kintama Bio Balls Filter Media
Kintama Bio Balls come with an extremely large surface area, designed to increase the biological capability of your filter. This aides in the removal of harmful ammonia and nitrogen, keeping your water in as best a condition as possible.
These are suitable for adding to any standard biological filters, and will drastically increase the efficiency of your filter, and enable it to hold much higher levels of beneficial bacteria.
Kintama balls will kill harmful bacteria, whilst also preventing the growth of algae, and also stabilising pH levels. They are highly porous, so they can rapidly remove the harmful elements within the pond, including heavy metals.
Sizes available:
Kusuri Lithaqua Media Sack
Kusuri Lithaqua Media Sack is used with Kusuri Lithaqua Media marine mineral with a high content of minerals, trace elements and carbonates. It brings them into your pond and thereby adjusts the mineral balance and improves the water quality. Use it as pond substrate for bacteria to grow on and for fish to play in, or use it as a filter medium.
Modern multi-chamber filters contain mainly plastic media. Those are excellent supports for bacteria but they do not add anything to water quality. It is important to fill at least one filter chamber (preferably the last chamber) with Kusuri Lithaqua. It provides an enormous surface area for bacteria 10 to 20 times more than most plastic filter media) and provides the bacteria with essential nutrients.
Kusuri Lithaqua neutralises acid pH and helps to restore carbonate alkalinity.
Lithaqua is a marine mineral high in trace elements and carbonates, ideal for raising KH values. A superb filter media of porous construction, allowing a huge surface area for the growth of beneficial bacteria.
Modern filter chambers contain many and varied plastic media, these provide good support – but Lithaqua goes one stage further. Not only do the beneficial bacteria draw on nutrients from the mineral support, the media has a massive surface area up to 20 times greater than most plastic media.
Lithaqua is a biological media not intended for mechanical stages.
Use Lithaqua in a clean water chamber after mechanical removal of waste. Lithaqua is far more efficient than crushed oyster shells, and the high level of carbonates will improve carbonate alkalinity in soft water regions, neutralising low acid pH and buffer swings in pH.
