Kock Rock - Sintered Glass Balls |
|
| |
Kock Rock media has been developed by a leading manufacturer of sintered glass filter media to the aquatic trade for use in commercial aquaculture systems where the demand is for a high performing, long life and low maintenance biological media.
Whilst primarily designed as an ideal medium for use in trickle / shower type filters any existing filter system can now benefit from the near instant upgrade achieved by the addition of Kock Rock media.
Its porous nature encourages the colonisation of both aerobic and some anaerobic bacteria. These organisms convert the harmful ammonia fish excrete to nitrite / nitrate via the nitrogen cycle.
An average time span of 21/42 days is all that is needed to achieve sufficient bacteria colonisation. For a improvement in filter function the addition of a small amount of existing biological, at a temperature above 12 °c can shorten this time span.
Kock Rock media is not a mechanical filter media and the water should go through some form of mechanical filtration before contact with the Kock Rock.
The Kock Rock media pore size is designed to promote the growth and regeneration of bacteria, used with the correct filter system the pores will not clog and the media requires no more maintenance than an occasional rinse with pond water.
