Filtration Media AquaNatura Far Infrared Technology Ring white 17×21 mm, 20 kg

AquaNatura Far Infrared Technology Ring white 17×21 mm, 20 kg are white ring-shaped filtration media designed for aquarium and pond filtration systems. Each ring measures approximately 17×21 mm and the 20 kg packaging provides a high-volume supply for biological and mechanical filtration. The rings offer a structured surface area to support colonization by beneficial bacteria and contribute to maintaining stable water parameters in canister, biological and trickle filters.

Advantages

The ceramic-like rings combine a porous surface with regular geometry to ensure efficient water flow and improved contact between water and biofilm. Far infrared technology is integrated into the material to support a stable microenvironment for nitrifying bacteria. The white finish helps to visually assess media condition during maintenance and the uniform size simplifies packing and distribution inside filter chambers. High bulk quantity in a single pack reduces the need for frequent replenishment in larger systems.

Suitable for

• Canister filters in freshwater and saltwater aquariums
• Biological filters for ponds and outdoor systems
• Trickle and wet/dry systems requiring high surface area
• Large-volume filtration setups where media longevity and stability are needed

Key specifications

• Form: open ring-shaped media with central hole for water circulation
• Dimensions per ring: approximately 17×21 mm
• Color: white
• Material features: porous surface with Far Infrared Technology embedded in the matrix
• Pack weight: 20 kg suitable for large filter volumes
• Function: mechanical support and biological surface area for beneficial bacteria

How to use

Rinse the rings under clean tap water to remove dust from packaging before placement. Place the media into the filter compartment according to the filter manufacturer’s layout, ensuring unrestricted water flow through and around the rings. For canister filters, use a mesh bag or dedicated media basket to keep the rings contained and to facilitate removal during maintenance. Avoid compacting the media tightly; maintain loose packing to maximise contact between water and biofilm. When replacing media, stagger changes to preserve established bacterial colonies and avoid sudden shifts in biological load.

Usage recommendations

Monitor water parameters regularly after installation and during routine maintenance. Replace or top up media gradually rather than replacing the entire volume at once to maintain biological stability. In systems with heavy bioload, combine these rings with mechanical pre-filtration to reduce clogging and extend service intervals.
