Medaka Bio Filter Block – biological filter block for medakaMedaka Bio Filter Block – biological ceramic filter for Medaka bowls, mini-ponds and aquariums up to 50 litres. Promotes beneficial filter bacteria and clear water.The Medaka Bio Filter Block is a practical ceramic filter block specially developed for medaka bowls, small ponds and aquariums. It supports natural biological water purification and helps to create a stable and healthy living environment for Japanese rice fish (Oryzias latipes) and other small aquarium inhabitants.The highly porous ceramic structure provides a large surface area on which beneficial filter bacteria can colonise. These microorganisms play an important role in the biological breakdown of pollutants in the water. They help to break down ammonium, or ammonia, and nitrite as part of the natural nitrogen cycle.Unlike conventional motorised filters, the Medaka Bio Filter Block requires no mains power supply and no additional pump. It is simply placed directly into the water, where it provides a surface for beneficial bacteria to colonise. This is a straightforward way to support biological filtration, particularly in small medaka bowls and natural-looking mini-ponds.The filter block is suitable for water volumes of up to 50 litres and can be used in both medaka bowls and small freshwater aquariums. It is also suitable for tanks containing shrimp and other small fish.With the Medaka Bio Filter Block, you can easily support the biological balance of your aquarium or mini-pond. The durable ceramic block can be gently cleaned as required and can remain in the water permanently.Your benefits at a glance1 biological ceramic filter block includedFor medaka bowls, mini-ponds and aquariums up to 50 litresPorous ceramic structure with a large surface area for bacterial colonisationPromotes the colonisation of beneficial filter bacteriaSupports the biological breakdown of ammonia and nitriteWorks without electricity or an additional pumpSuitable for medaka, small aquarium fish and shrimpsEasy to use and gentle cleaningTechnical dataMaterial – porous ceramicDimensions – 15 × 10 × 2.5 cmWeight – approx. 210 gInstructions for useBefore using the Medaka Bio Filter Block for the first time, rinse it carefully with clear, preferably chlorine-free water and then place it directly into your Medaka bowl, mini pond or aquarium.Over time, the porous ceramic surface becomes colonised by beneficial filter bacteria. These support the natural breakdown of pollutants and help to stabilise the biological balance.Important information on usePlace the filter block completely underwaterPosition it, if possible, in a spot with gentle water movementIf necessary, clean carefully using water taken from the aquariumDo not use soap or chemical cleaning agentsThe bacterial cultures need time to develop sufficientlyThe Bio Filter Block supports biological water purification; however, with an appropriate fish stock, it does not generally replace a high-performance filter or regular water changes.Zoo Roco TipMedaka are often kept in decorative bowls or small mini-ponds, where strong water currents are deliberately avoided. It is precisely in such tanks that the Medaka Bio Filter Block can be a useful addition to natural water maintenance.We recommend using the filter block as early as possible when setting up the tank so that beneficial bacteria can develop.In combination with live aquatic plants, a suitable fish stock and regular partial water changes, a stable biological balance can be maintained.Check nitrite levels regularly, particularly in newly set-up tanks, as the biological filtration process only develops over time.

JBL ProCristal Compact plus UV-C – water clarifier for aquariumsJBL ProCristal Compact plus UV-C 5 W and 11 W – compact UV-C water clarifier for freshwater and marine aquariums. Reduces floating algae, greenish and whitish cloudiness.The JBL ProCristal Compact plus UV-C is a compact UV-C water clarifier for freshwater and marine aquariums. It helps maintain clear and healthy aquarium water by quickly and efficiently reducing greenish and whitish cloudiness. A UV-C clarifier can be a useful addition to your filter system, particularly in cases of floating algae, bacterial cloudiness or increased bacterial load.The unit is connected to an external filter or a suitable pump in a space-saving manner. Thanks to the practically arranged inlet and outlet ports, the UV-C clarifier can be easily integrated into existing aquarium set-ups.

In aquariums, the UV-C unit is usually connected after the filter so that water that is as clear as possible and has been mechanically pre-cleaned flows through the UV-C clarifier.Ensure the flow rate is correct, as excessive pump output can reduce the contact time between the water and the UV-C light. The unit must only be operated when fully assembled and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Never look directly at UV-C light. Always disconnect from the mains before carrying out any maintenance work.Zoo Roco TipA UV-C clarifier is particularly helpful for green water caused by floating algae or milky-whitish cloudiness. However, it is no substitute for regular aquarium maintenance, water changes or identifying the root cause. You should also check the lighting duration, nutrient levels, stocking density and filter performance. For smaller aquariums, the 5 W version is usually sufficient; for larger tanks or where water quality is more heavily compromised, the 11 W version may be more appropriate.

If necessary, use suitable hardness-increasing salts or seawater salt to ensure the water is optimally adapted to the specific animals and plants in the tank. Check the water parameters regularly using suitable test kits or a conductivity meter.

Banana leaves – natural care and decoration for aquariumsBanana leaves are a natural and decorative addition to freshwater aquariums. They are particularly suitable for shrimp aquariums, blackwater setups and naturally themed tanks. Once in the water, the dried leaves slowly release tannins, helping to create a natural aquarium environment. The leaves provide small fish, shrimp, snails and crabs with sheltered areas to hide in. As they gradually decompose, they create valuable grazing areas and a natural food source for shrimp and snails. Banana leaves are also popular in shrimp breeding, as they provide the animals with places to retreat to and additional surfaces for grazing.Banana leaves are an interesting alternative or addition to sea almond leaves and can be combined very well with other natural materials such as catappa bark, coconut shells, lotus pods or cholla wood.Advantages at a glanceNatural leaves for aquariums and shrimp tanksRelease tannins into the waterCan help to support a natural blackwater environmentProvide hiding places for small fish, shrimp, snails and crayfishUsed as grazing and feeding areas whilst decomposingNaturally dried and untreatedSafe for fish, shrimp, crayfish and snailsContents: 20 piecesUsageUse approximately 1 leaf per 5 litres of aquarium water. The leaves can be placed directly into the aquarium. They usually sink after 48–72 hours and remain effective for around 2–3 weeks. Afterwards, the remains can be removed or left in the aquarium as a natural food source for shrimp and snails. Zoo Roco Tip: Combine banana leaves with catappa leaves, coconut shells or moss-covered stones. This will create a natural arrangement with plenty of hiding places, foraging areas and a particularly harmonious look.

Catappa Leaves XL – natural sea almond tree leaves for aquariums and terrariumsCatappa Leaves XL are large, dried leaves of the sea almond tree and are particularly popular in aquariums with tropical fish, shrimp and blackwater species. In water, the leaves release natural tannins and humic substances slowly, which may cause the aquarium water to take on a slightly yellowish to brownish tint.This natural colouring diffuses the light and mimics the habitat of many tropical fish species. As the leaves slowly decompose, they create valuable grazing areas for shrimp, catfish and other aquarium inhabitants. At the same time, the large leaves provide natural cover and places of refuge. Catappa leaves can also be used decoratively in terrariums and serve as hiding places for small animals or as ground decoration. Catappa leaves are a popular natural product for natural-looking aquariums, blackwater setups and biotope tanks. When stored dry, they have a very long shelf life and are easy to use.Advantages at a glanceLarge Catappa leaves with a length of 21–40 cmRelease natural tannins and humic substancesSupport a natural blackwater appearanceCan promote the well-being of fishProvide grazing areas for shrimp and catfishAlso suitable as decoration and hiding place in the terrarium100 % natural product UsageThe leaves can be placed directly into the aquarium. They soak up water and sink to the bottom after some time. There they release their natural substances over several weeks. After about two to three weeks, a new leaf can be added if needed. The old leaves can remain in the aquarium, as they are readily grazed on by shrimp and other animals.Product detailsSize: approx. 21–40 cmContents: 10 piecesMaterial: dried leaves of the sea almond tree, Terminalia catappaSuitable for: freshwater aquariums, blackwater tanks, shrimp aquariums and terrariumsZoo Roco Tip: Catappa Leaves XL can be ideally combined with alder cones, lotus pods, cholla wood or coconut shells.
