Description
Achieve pristine water quality and a thriving aquatic ecosystem with our Premium Aquarium Filter Mesh, widely known as Japmat. This high-performance filter media is the cornerstone of effective filtration, trusted by professional aquarists and pond keepers worldwide.
Japmat is engineered with a complex, web-like structure of rigid polyester fibers. This design creates an unparalleled surface area, providing the perfect home for vast colonies of nitrifying bacteria. These essential microorganisms work around the clock to convert toxic ammonia from fish waste into less harmful nitrates, creating a stable and safe environment for your fish and invertebrates.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Massive Biological Surface Area: The intricate, three-dimensional structure provides significantly more surface area than ceramic rings or bio-balls of a similar volume, ensuring rapid and efficient biological filtration.
Dual-Action Filtration: While acting as a powerful biological filter, it also effectively traps coarse to medium debris, polishing your water for exceptional clarity. -
Unrestricted Water Flow: The rigid, open design is highly resistant to clogging and channeling. It maintains optimal water flow through your filter system, ensuring that all media is utilized for maximum efficiency.
Extremely Durable & 100% Fish Safe: Made from high-quality, non-toxic, and inert fibers, this mat will not degrade, fall apart, or leach any harmful substances into your water. It is built to last for years.
-
Fully Customizable: The mat is easy to cut with a utility knife or heavy-duty scissors, allowing you to create a perfect fit for any filter compartment, whether it’s a sump, canister filter, wet/dry trickle filter, or pond box.
