Aqua Medic Cerapore

Aqua Medic Cerapore Micro-porous ceramic filter media for bio filters are available from Swell UK.

CERAPORE is a micro-porous ceramic filter media for use in biofilters. It is produced from pure ceramic filled at high temperature and is free of residues so it can be safely used in fresh and salt water aquarium.

CERAPORE has an enormous internal surface area that is fully available for bacterial colonisation, and its open pores are so formed that the media is non-clogging and stays clear, even under long term use.

This results in high biological waste reduction rates in a very small volume.

CERAPORE may be used in trickle filters or in submerged filters. When used submersed, anaerobic areas may be formed in the centre of the media, which may help with nitrate reduction.

Under ideal conditions, 1 litre of CERAPORE will filter 200 litres of fresh or salt water aerobically.
