Filter Media Sera SIPORAX MINI PROFFESIONAL 130 g – biological ceramic carrier for aquarium filtration

Sera SIPORAX MINI PROFFESIONAL 130 g is a ceramic biological carrier designed to support stable and efficient biological filtration in freshwater and marine aquaria. The product consists of small porous beads that provide a large surface area for colonization by nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria. Supplied as 130 g of SIPORAX MINI beads, this media can be placed in internal and external filter chambers, sponge filters or refugia to assist in reducing ammonia and nitrite concentrations and maintaining better water quality.

Advantages

The porous ceramic structure promotes rapid bacterial colonization and long-term stability of the biological filter. Small bead size allows flexible placement in different filter types and maximizes contact between water and active bacteria. The material is chemically inert and does not change water parameters, supporting balanced nitrification without leaching unwanted substances. Its durable ceramic composition withstands routine cleaning and provides consistent performance over time.

Suitable for

• Internal and external aquarium filters
• Sponge filters and small power filters
• Refugia and biological compartments in reef systems
• Quarantine tanks and breeding setups needing reliable nitrification

Key specifications

• Material: porous ceramic biological carrier
• Form: small spherical beads for compact packing and high surface area
• Net weight: 130 g of filter media
• Compatibility: suitable for freshwater and marine aquaria
• Chemical behavior: inert, does not alter pH or water chemistry

How to use

Rinse the SIPORAX MINI beads briefly with dechlorinated water to remove any dust from packaging before use. Place the beads in an appropriate filter chamber, sock, or container where water flow will pass through them to ensure contact with dissolved nitrogenous compounds. Do not pack too tightly—maintain sufficient water flow around the beads to supply oxygen and nutrients for the bacteria. For new systems, allow several days to weeks for bacterial colonization and monitor ammonia and nitrite levels during the establishment period.

Usage recommendations

The amount supplied (130 g) is intended to supplement existing biological filtration or to be used in small to medium filter compartments; adjust quantity according to aquarium volume and bioload. For best results combine SIPORAX MINI with mechanical filtration upstream to prevent clogging, and avoid cleaning the media with chlorinated tap water—use tank water when rinsing to preserve beneficial bacteria.
