Sera Siporax Professional – Maximum Optimization of Biological Filtration

The original Sera Siporax Professional is suitable for use in freshwater and marine aquariums as well as in ponds. Regardless of the filter type (internal, external, or trickle filter), it maximizes the surface area required for biological purification and provides an optimal substrate for the colonization of beneficial filter bacteria.

In natural aquatic environments, biological processes within the substrate play a crucial role in breaking down organic waste. Microorganisms convert organic matter into nutrients for aquatic plants while removing pollutants such as ammonium, nitrite, and nitrate. Since natural waters contain only small amounts of waste per volume, the available bottom surface is sufficient to support these microorganisms.

Aquariums, however, represent a highly concentrated biotope in a limited space. Therefore, it is essential to greatly increase the available settlement area to ensure complete and reliable breakdown of organic residues.

Sera achieves this with the unique high-performance filter medium Siporax.

Unlike conventional filter rings, Sera Siporax is made from sintered glass with a special three-dimensional pore structure. This structure provides a maximum increase in surface area while offering ideal conditions for bacterial colonization. The interconnected pore system ensures continuous water flow, allowing bacteria to efficiently process pollutants. Additionally, the unique pore structure supports a self-cleaning effect, resulting in long-lasting filter performance and extended service life.
