Filter media rings AquaNatura Far Infrared Technology Ring white 17×21 mm 10 kg

AquaNatura Far Infrared Technology Ring white 17×21 mm are ceramic porous filter media supplied in a 10 kg pack, designed for aquarium and pond filtration. The rings measure approximately 17×21 mm and provide an expanded surface area to promote colonisation by nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. Their porous structure supports biological filtration while also contributing to mechanical trapping of suspended particles. The product is compatible with canister filters, sumps and many internal filter housings and is intended to help maintain stable water parameters in freshwater and pond systems.

Advantages

These white Far Infrared Technology Rings combine a high-porosity ceramic matrix with a ring shape that increases contact area for biofilm formation. The material is chemically inert and stable in typical aquarium and pond environments. By offering a large internal and external surface area in a compact volume, the rings improve the efficiency of biological filtration and contribute to clearer water through mechanical particle retention. Supplied in a bulk 10 kg pack, they are suitable for establishing or replenishing media in medium to large filtration systems.

Suitable for

• Canister filters in aquaria
• Sump filters and filtration units in ponds
• Internal filter housings with media baskets
• Biological filtration upgrades or media replacement

Key specifications

• Shape: ring
• Color: white
• Material type: porous ceramic/ceramic-based media
• Individual ring size: approximately 17 × 21 mm
• Pack weight: 10 kg
• Function: biological and mechanical filtration support
• Surface structure: high internal porosity for bacterial colonisation

How to use

Rinse the media briefly with dechlorinated water before first use to remove any dust or fine particles from manufacturing. Place the rings into the media basket or chamber of a canister, sump or internal filter ensuring even distribution to allow unrestricted water flow through the porous structure. For best results, combine with coarse mechanical pre-filter media to prevent rapid clogging by large debris. Monitor water flow and rinse or replace suitable amounts of media as part of routine maintenance when mechanical clogging reduces circulation.

Usage recommendations

Use the 10 kg pack to fill media chambers according to the volume of your filter; avoid overpacking to maintain water flow. Pair with mechanical filtration stages and regular maintenance to preserve biological activity. When introducing to a new system, allow several weeks for bacterial colonisation before relying solely on these rings for nitrification.
