AQUA CLAY 8 MM AQUARIUM FILTER MEDIA

In big ponds and aquariums the increased metabolism due to high fish populations often leads to increased water pollution. For this reason Aquaclay F-4-10 was developed. Aquaclay F-4-10 should ideally be put in the provided filter medium bags.

Aquaclay F-4-10 should be washed under warm, running water before filling the filter. During the first filling of the filter the bacteria need approximately 2-4 weeks to reach about 70% of the filtration performance. After 4-6 weeks nearly 100% of the filtration performance is accomplished. The colonization time can be reduced by using bacterial cultures (bacteria starter).

Aqua clay balls are designed as a hydroponic medium. They allow for great root penetration and aeration. One of the most popular hydroponic mediums, Canna Clay Balls are the perfect medium for use in hydroponic wicks and pots.

Clay Balls are also great for using in the base of a pot, when growing in soil or coco, as they provide excellent drainage and aeration. They can also be used to provide greater aeration in heavier potting mixes.
