Sera Siporax Professional - Biological Filtration

Maximum optimization of biological filtration 

1 Litre contains 270m2 of Bacteria growing surfaces!

The original sera siporax Professional is suitable for use in both freshwater and marine aquariums as well as in ponds. Not depending on the kind of filter (internal/external/trickle filter), it maximizes the surface required for biological purification and provides the optimal substrate for the settling of necessary filter bacteria.

Filter and breakdown processes in the bottom ground of natural waters are very important. Organic waste are processed by micro-organisms and are thus available for the natural cycle as a nutrient for aquatic plants – pollutants such as ammonium, nitrite and nitrate are removed. Since little waste per water amount is formed in nature, the present bottom surface is sufficient for housing a sufficient number of micro-organisms.
However, an aquarium accommodates a small biotope in little space. It is therefore necessary to maximally enlarge the settling area for ensuring complete and safe breakdown of organic remainders.
sera perfectly put this into practice with the unique high performance filter medium sera siporax.

Unlike other filter rings available on the market, sera siporax consists of sintered glass. The unique material convinces due to a special three-dimensional pore structure. This allows maximum surface increase. At the same time, the fine pores provide ideal settling conditions for bacteria that break down pollutants. Since it is an interconnected system, the bacteria are permanently rinsed by water nd so can break down pollutants with best possible efficiency. Furthermore, the unique pore array allows for self-purification of the substrate and thus very long filter holding times.
In combination with specialized bacteria, sera siporax even fulfills a variety of other special tasks, such as algae prevention or directed water conditioning.

sera siporax was developed on the basis of water biological studies. It is based on the pore structure of the nitrifying layers in the natural aquatic soil. The manufacturing process and the structure have been patented worldwide.

According to university studies, one litre of this natural aquatic soil layer has about 270 m² of usable bacterial surface. This layer has a thickness of 1.5 to 2 mm and consists of sand and mud particles. sera siporax is ideally modelled on this soil. Each individual ring offers the bacteria about 1m² of colonizable inner and outer surface.

The pore structure of sera siporax is open-pored and three-dimensionally cross-linked. This structure enables the formation of very efficient biofilms that grow into the pores and line their walls. The pores have the ideal size to leave enough space to guarantee a long-term water flow and the supply of bacteria. In the depth of the pore structure, where the oxygen content decreases, the biofilm also decomposes nitrate (denitrification). sera siporax has the optimal pore structure for nitrate decomposition.

In the biofilm of sera siporax not only nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria grow, but also organic substance degrading bacteria. As a result, dying bacteria do not clog the pores but are biologically degraded. The biofilm grows and shrinks with the load of the water and thus adapts to the demand. sera siporax is thus the only biologically self-cleaning filter material. The pore structure is perfect for bacterial colonisation.

Due to the special pore structure, sera siporax develops its own ideal water flow in the pore structure. This means that it can be used independently of the external flow velocity. It can therefore be used in fast, slow and trickle filters.

Many competitors advertise with larger surfaces between 400 and 800 m² per litre. However, all filter media with a larger surface area have smaller pores. Smaller pores cannot be colonized by a biofilm because the bacterial film fills the small pores and blocks the water flow. The bacteria soon die due to lack of oxygen and nutrients and the medium is only active on the outer surface. Measurements show that the filter performance decreases drastically within four weeks. With siporax, the degradation performance still increases after four weeks.

For the reasons mentioned above, there is currently no filter medium that comes close to the degradation performance of sera siporax.

One litre of sera siporax has the same degradation capacity as 34 litres of ceramic or clay filter medium, making it the cheapest filter medium on the market. All other filter bodies are much more expensive than a litre of sera siporax in terms of the usable surface.

A little dissappointed
Format: Kindle
I expected more umph or something from this book written by this author. The book is generic and not memorable at all. However, I do appreciate the author's time and effort she put into writing this and I wish her all the best. Happy Reading to you

Fantastic!
Format: Kindle
There is much to love about this story. The setting is wonderful, with picturesque descriptions of the beautiful English village where most of the story takes place; a cast of fun, quirky characters who come to life as the chapters go by; and a fantastic pair of leading ladies with chemistry to spare. But what truly stands out is the sharp, witty banter between the characters throughout the story. Frequently writers will have strong dialog between the protagonists, but T. B. Markinson has managed to write an entire story full of brilliantly crafted dialog between all of the characters, leading to so many great moments that are humorous, emotional, witty, sarcastic, etc... It is a fantastic story to read. I received an ARC copy of this book.

Well Done!
Format: Kindle
You just can’t go wrong with a T.B Markinson book, The first in this series starts of with two wayward souls that meet by chance in a quaint little town of Cotswolds village. Needless to say, fate brings them together in the most craziest situation... which never goes well when your dealing with a meddling family and it’s drama. Needles to say the author does a great job creating plenty of banter and word play between the two main characters. You can’t help but root for the two and pray they figure things out to give them a HEA...I can’t wait for the next two books in this series by two more of my favorite authors.

5 beautiful stars for this masterpiece
-he falls first -ptsd/mental health rep -broken golden boy mmc -black cat fmc -found family -college hockey 5 beautiful stars for this masterpiece! i’m in awe that this is a debut novel — peyton’s story is the perfect combination of angst, swoon, pain, & love. her writing instantly captures you & feels like it’s wrapping you in the biggest, coziest hug. rhys is the definition of a walking green flag (literally though this man can do no wrong) after an intense injury the previous season, rhys is trying to feel at home again on the ice but is struggling with ptsd & panic attacks. he’s very quiet about what he’s going through which leads to him trying to resolve everything on his own. i loved rhys’ character development in this one. seeing him open up first to sadie and then to his family & friends was a huge step. the scene with him & his dad actually had me bawling. rhys has the biggest heart, he loves unconditionally, and is such a teddy bear. my favorite thing about him was how easy it was for him to give his love not just to sadie but to her brothers as well. rhys is the kind of person who will be there for you no matter what, even if you push him away he never backs down. i thought peyton’s representation of ptsd/mental health was beautifully written my sadie baby. she is EVERYTHING. caring for her brothers while trying to maintain her figure skating scholarship, grades, and two jobs was not easy. but she did it all by herself. her love for her brothers is so unconditional. i love how real these characters feel and how we got to see sadie both mentally & physically exhausted. what she was doing isn’t easy and it definitely took its toll on her but seeing her in those stages of feeling defeated or like nothing could go right made her feel so real and like someone you could connect with. sadie is super protective and she’s not afraid to put up a fight if you wrong the ones she loves. we get to see sadie in all her glory — happy, sad, doubtful, defeated, anxious, loving, confident, feisty, and so much more. it’s what makes her real. my favorite thing about sadie was getting to see her fall in love and accept the love she deserves from those around her rhys & sadie together is a twin flame burning the brightest shade. after sadie helps rhys through a panic attack (and introduces him to the best taste music) they instantly have a connection. rhys sees her and feels safety & comfort. sadie instantly tries to keep her space since she has so much on her plate and thinks she doesn’t deserve someone like him. but what they share is undeniable and soon they start hanging out more as friends until the tension and chemistry shared between them explodes. they both help each other in so many different ways. they balance and lean on one another. the are golden and perfect and indescribably in love. sadie helps rhys feel like it’s okay not to be perfect all the time & rhys helps show sadie she deserves to be loved and that it’s okay to accept help. seeing them fall in love was so beautiful & i’m sad i’ll never be able to experience that for the first time again. they are GOLDEN *also shoutout to rhys’ parents for being the absolute best* this book is a masterpiece! it gives boys of tommen found family vibes along with the perfect combination of sports romance & angst. everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and read this book right now! i don’t even know who book 2 is about but all i know is that i can’t wait to go back to this world and these characters because i’m seriously so in love with them. peyton, i’m in awe of you & so so proud. this is easily in my top 10 books of the year. i can’t wait to see what’s coming next and i feel so lucky that i get to experience your writing journey🧡 songs: peace, daylight, & you are in love
