New Intensive filtration

The newest product from Eheim research improves and optimises the performance of their existing Ehfisubstrat

Spherical Filter Material : guarantees optimum utilisation of the filter chamber of the employed filter and ensures an even water flow in the filter bed

Enlarged Pore Structure : ensures optimum colonisation of the bacteria required for the conversion process (nitro-bacteria) and delays the silting-up of the pores to a great extent

Filter Media Required

Specially-structured coarse filter medium for trapping solid dirt particles.

EHFIFIX is used as effective mechanical filtration at the water inflow of the filter as second layer (e.g. after EHFIMECH).

It is also ideal for use in overflow chambers.

The material can be washed out under cold water and can be used several times

This product offers the highest adsorption. It is alkali activated, acid-washed, pH neutral, heavy metal free and formed in a special compression mold to perform a rapid, highly effective adsorption of harmful substances and residues of medication.

A high quality filter carbon.

It is recommended for short-term use in freshwater aquariums.

A completely neutral filter wool.

The fine phenol free structure of this synthetic material traps tiny particles of dirt.

It should be loosely placed as the last layer in your filter arrangement.

A coarse mechanical filter material which is to be used as bottom layer filtering.

Its hollow ceramic design creates eddies which disburse the water into many paths.

It traps large debris while creating an even flow of water for subsequent layers.

To create biologically sound water as found in nature, you need EHFISUBSTRAT.

Biological filtering is based on a natural decomposition of harmful substances using helpful bacteria.
They convert ammonia and nitrite into relatively non-toxic nitrate.
The efficiency of biological filtration is limited by the media that bacteria are growing on.
With over 450 m¦ per litre (22, 000sq. ft. per lmp. gal. / 18, 3000 sq. ft. per U.S. gal.) EHFISUBSTRAT is a specially designed sintered glass.
Bacteria are able to stick better to a surface which has a complex pore system.
EHFISUBSTRAT has been specially developed to offer optimum sites for bacteria colonization.
The effectiveness of these bacteria is linked to how much oxygen and toxins can flow by.
With faster decomposition of toxins compared to other media.

Highly effective, economically priced, it is the best biological media available to aquarium hobbyists.

A specially treated media, which makes the water more acidic and lowers the carbon hardness.

The peat filter is recommedable for soft water fishes in order to achieve a tropical aquatic environment.

Just like in the case of all other additives the changed water property has to be regularly monitored.

Comes complete with net bag

1 Litre pack contains approx 490gms Peat Pellets

A naturally occuring porous volcanic rock which is ideal for biological filtration where large debris is present such as ponds and highly stocked aquariums.

This natural product is pre-tested for impurities before packaging to ensure that it is free of toxins.
