Water Treatments

Nutrafin Waste Control - Biological Aquarium Cleaner helps decrease aquarium maintenance by reducing waste in gravel, power filters, decorative features and on interior aquarium surfaces. Waste Control’s unique biological process rapidly digests organic waste resulting from overfeeding, fish waste and other decaying material such as plant leaves.

Purigen® is a premium synthetic adsorbent that is unlike any other filtration product. It is not a mixture of ion exchangers or adsorbents, but a unique macro-porous synthetic polymer that removes soluble and insoluble impurities from water at a rate and capacity that exceeds all other competing products by over 500%. Purigen® controls ammonia, nitrites and nitrates by removing nitrogenous organic waste that would otherwise release these harmful compounds. Purigen’s impact on trace elements is minimal. It significantly raises redox. It polishes water to unparalleled clarity. Purigen® darkens progressively as it exhausts, and is easily renewed by treating with bleach. Purigen® is designed for both marine and freshwater use.

Matrix™ is a high porosity biomedia that provides efficient biofiltration for the removal of nitrogenous waste. Matrix™ is a porous inorganic solid about 10 mm in diameter. Each liter of Matrix™ provides as much surface (>~700 m2) as 170 liters of plastic balls! Plastic bio-materials provide only external surface area, whereas Matrix™ provides both external and internal macroporous surface area. These macropores are ideally sized for the support of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. This allows Matrix™, unlike other forms of biomedia, to remove nitrate along with ammonia and nitrite, simultaneously and in the same filter.

Struggling with dirty, cloudy aquarium water? Seachem Pristine is a natural organic waste management solution that has been designed to quickly and safely eliminate sludge and detritus from both freshwater and saltwater environments.

The Seapora Phos Pad is a dense chemical filter pad which absorbs phosphate from your aquarium. In high concentrations, phosphate is a major food source for troublesome algae. Phosphate gradually accumulates due to overfeeding, lack of regular maintenance, and decaying organic matter. This media should be implemented as a preventative measure or treatment; and not as a remedy for persistently high phosphate concentrations.

Seapora Poly Pad - 18 "x 10" 

The Seapora Poly Pad is a dense mechanical filter pad fabricated to remove fine / coarse particulate matter from your aquarium system.
This process prevents obstructions in the biological media, thereby diminishing the risk of fish stress and disease.
It also helps keep your aquarium water crystal clear!

Seapora Filter Pads can be cut & shaped to fit any filtration system, such as: Canister Filters, Hang-On Filters, Trickle Filters, Pond Filters, Wet / Dry Filters, Filter Cartridge Frames, and other mechanical filter applications.
Great for both freshwater and marine applications.

Stability® will rapidly and safely establish the aquarium biofilter in freshwater and marine systems, thereby preventing the #1 cause of fish death: "new tank syndrome". Stability® is formulated specifically for the aquarium and contains a synergistic blend of aerobic, anaerobic, and facultative bacteria which facilitate the breakdown of waste organics, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. The bacteria employed by Stability® are non-sulfur fixing and will not produce toxic hydrogen sulfide. Stability® is completely harmless to all aquatic organisms as well as aquatic plants, thus there is no danger of over use. Stability® is the culmination of nearly a decade of research and development and represents the current state of the art in natural biological management.

For shrimps in particular, tourmaline balls have many uses. In addition to buffering and stabilizing pH levels, they also provide support for molting and new carapace growth.
