Optimized spherical surface for fresh and sea water
SUBSTRATpro consists of spherical sintered quartz. The spherical shape allows a high bulk density. Thus, the volume in the filter (filter baskets or modules) can be fully utilised. In addition, the optimised surface of the spheres ensures intensive colonisation of the important cleaning bacteria. A dense bacterial lawn is formed.
Due to the high number of bacteria, nitrite load peaks are also better reduced and the service life of the filter material is extended.
EHEIM SUBSTRATpro is suitable for fresh and sea water, can be washed out and can be used several times.
Biological filter material
The main task of the biological filter material is to provide the best conditions for bacteria cultures to settle, so that a bacterial lawn is created after a short time. The bacteria feed on dirt particles of all kinds and convert the substances critical for the aquarium. After the first cleaning by mechanical filter masses (e.g. EHEIM MECH or MECHpro) the biological filtration is the most important thing. It ensures clear, healthy water and stable water values. Therefore we have invested a lot of research work in the development of biological filter media.
