Aquarium filter media Substratpro+ 2 L

The EHEIM SUBSTRATpro+O2xygen - a filter media that revolutionises the biological treatment of water. This latest development, based on the tried-and-true SUBSTRATpro, combines premium materials with cutting-edge technology. The secret behind the extraordinary effect of EHEIM SUBSTRATpro+O2xygen lies in the tourmaline, a precious stone, that it contains. Thanks to its unique pyroelectric properties, it generates activated oxygen through electron contact with water (superoxygen O2-), optimising the oxygenation of the filtration substrate and creating ideal conditions for filter bacteria. This stimulates metabolic processes in the aquarium and enhances the vitality of fish, plants, and the entire aquatic ecosystem. Effective removal of harmful substances - the spherical structure allows for a high apparent density and makes optimal use of available filtration space. With a porosity of 45%, the ceramic material provides a huge surface area for beneficial microorganisms. Thanks to the combination of a high colonisation surface and activated oxygen, harmful substances are broken down quicker and more efficiently - resulting in clear water and a healthy ecosystem. Long-lasting and durable - the filter material undergoes a special thermal treatment at over 1,000°C, making it particularly stable and durable and ensuring exceptional resistance. It has a neutral pH, is reusable, and suitable for both freshwater and saltwater. Benefits of the EHEIM SUBSTRATpro+O2xygen High-quality material: Ceramic filter material made of silicates and tourmaline Innovative technology: The tourmaline generates activated oxygen from electrons (super oxygen O2-) for optimal oxygen supply High porosity of 45%: for a large surface area for filter bacteria colonisation Neutral pH: Does not affect water chemistry and ensures a stable and healthy climate in the aquarium Rapid pollutant degradation: allows extremely fast biological breakdown of impurities Stimulates metabolism: activated oxygen boosts the fish, plants and the entire ecosystem Durable and robust: fired at extreme heat (over 1,000°C), the material offers exceptional durability Can be used multiple times (rinse thoroughly when cleaning) Suitable for freshwater and saltwater
