• Maximize space for nitrifying bacteria colonial
• Enhance fish and microbes immune system
• Activate water molecules, improve metabolism of organisms

Upgraded gear shape spiral design, more suitable for the reproduction of beneficial bacteria

The gear-like design upgraded on the basis of the Bacteria House II can change direction of the water flow to gentle the water pressure which is more conducive to the breeding of beneficial bacteria.

Benefits fish immune systems and colourings

The media emits far infrared ray which makes the water alive and benefits fish immune systems and colourings.

Helps fishes growing stronger

Contains various minerals for fish, coral, and plants, including K, Mg, Fe, Zn, Na, Ca, which improves the growth rates of fish bones while enhancing fish appetites and optimally balancing their blood conditions.

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″.

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:

• Extremely high surface area
• Highly porous
• Inert, pH neutral
• Lightweight
• Available worldwide
• Economical
• Available in 15kg sacks

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.
