Filter mats

Rare plants for your aquarium

In the world of aquaristics, filter mats are extremely useful helpers. Filter mats play an important role in maintaining a healthy and clear aquarium environment.

Filter mats, also known as filter sponges or filter foams, are special materials used in aquarium filters. They are usually made of porous foam and are available in different sizes and densities.

The way filter mats work is efficient and simple. As water flows through the porous structure of the filter mat, dirt particles, turbidity and coarse impurities are effectively filtered out and retained. This results in a clear and clean aquarium.

Mechanical filtration is extremely effective in filtering out turbidity and coarse particles such as dead leaves or sludge from the water.

In addition, the porous structures of the filter mats provide an ideal habitat for beneficial bacteria that convert ammonia and nitrite into harmless nitrates. This promotes biological stability in the aquarium.

Easy maintenance: The maintenance of filter mats is uncomplicated. They can be easily replaced or cleaned to maintain filter performance.

Versatility: Filter mats can be used in a variety of filter systems, be it internal filters, external filters or sump filters.

Filter mats are an important component of an efficient aquarium filtration system. They help to create a healthy environment for your fish and plants by removing impurities from the water and improving water quality.
