Mechanical Filter Media

Mechanical Filter Media

An Aquarium is a mini ecosystem in itself, which encloses different type of life forms within its confines. It is therefore, important that the quality of water, its hygiene level, nutrition level, etc., all are at the desired level. Aquarium Filters are one such step directed towards the maintenance of an aquarium. The soul of these filters is Aquarium Filter Media, which is the actual site of filtration in a filter. An Aquarium Filter Media helps filter out all or most of the undesirable substances present in tank water. As a result, the aquarium water is cleaned, and aerated, thereby benefiting the quality of life therein. A Mechanical Filter Media actually performs the straining part. Fresh Marine brings to you a wide range of quintessential and effective Mechanical Filter Medias. The ensuing discussion deals with some of the best Mechanical Filter Medias available at Fresh Marine.

Mechanical Filter Medias by EHEIM.

Eheim Ehfimech Filter Media. This Mechanical Filter Media employs Coarse Mechanical Filter Ceramic Rings, which help filter the bottom layer of aquarium water. The hollow in the Ceramic Rings create whirlpools in aquarium water that diverge the water flow in different dimensions. In the process, this Mechanical Filter Media traps large waste particles, while also enabling a smooth water flow in the next layers of aquarium water. This product is available in 1 liter 2 lbs, and 5-liter 10 lbs packs.

Eheim Ehfisubstrat Filter Media. This actually is a Biological Filtration Media rather than a Mechanical Filter Media, which is made of Sintered Glass with a huge surface area of 18,300 Square Feet per Gallon. Just like any other Biological Filtration Media, Ehfisubstrat also supports the beneficial Nitrifying Bacterial Colonies. Regular rinsing with cold water makes this Filter Media reusable for long, while generating only a minimal quantity of dust. This product is available in 1 liter 2 lbs, 2 liter 4 lbs, and 5-liter 10 lbs capacity.

Eheim Ehfilav Filter Media. This is a Freshwater Biological Filtration Media, which consists of natural, porous Volcanic Rock. This Filter Media supports a Mechanical Filter Media, especially in the Freshwater Aquariums with excessive waste. The coarse surface of Ehfilav facilitates the growth of beneficial Bacterial Colonies, while firmly holding them. The product comes in 1 liter 2 lbs, and 5-liter 10 lbs capacity.

Eheim Substrat Pro Filter Media. This Biological Filtration Media boosts Ehfisubstrat’s performance and owing to its large pores, supports the beneficial Nitrifying Bacterial Colonies, which convert Ammonia and Nitrite present in the aquarium water into harmless Nitrate. Overall, this Spherical Filter Material fully utilizes an Aquarium Filter’s Filtration Chamber, while also facilitating a smooth water flow on the Filter Bed. The big porosity of the Media also delays its silting. This Pro Filter Media consists of hard, break resistant Sintered Glass, which keeps the water ph and GH neutral. Owing to its extreme porosity, this filter optimally decomposes wastes in the first 6 months of its installation, especially during Nitrite Load Peaks. This Pro Filter Media is easy to maintain, as it does not require very frequent cleaning. This product comes in 1 Liter, 2 Liter, and 5 Liter capacities.

SeaChem Matrix. This is a highly porous Biological Filter Media, which supports both, the beneficial Nitrifying, and the Denitrifying Bacterial Colonies for decomposing the harmful Nitrogenous Wastes, including Nitrate, Ammonia, & Nitrite, into harmless and at times useful products, all happening in the same filter. Matrix consists of a Porous & Inert Inorganic Solid substance, which does not break and therefore, does not require replacement. This Filter Media measures approximately 10 mm in diameter. In addition, Matrix provides internal Macroporous surface area. 1-2 Liters of Matrix per 100 Gallons of Aquarium Water does the trick. A regular rinsing of Matrix with cold water keeps it working optimally for long. Meant for all the varieties of Wet and Wet-Dry Filters, this Filter Media is meant for both, Marine and Freshwater Aquariums. SeaChem Matrix comes in 1 Liter and 2 Liter packs.
