How it works


Maturing the Kaldnes bio-media is important because a delicate eco-system is naturally developing for the bacteria involved in the nitrification process. Kaldnes media provides the maximum active surface area for the bacteria to colonise, more than other types of static media. It is this process which removes harmful ammonia and nitrite from the water.

How it is different to other media


As the Kaldnes media moves within the filter, it causes the old dead bacteria on the outside to be displaced. This makes space for new younger heavier feeding bacteria to rapidly colonise. Within the wheel is a protected surface which enables colonies of bacteria to naturally follow their lifecycle, of maturing, dying and then fueling the latter stages of the nitrification cycle. Kaldnes has been designed to provide the best possible habitat for both young and mature beneficial bacterial colonies.

What is meant by 'self cleaning'?


Unlike foam, matting, or other forms of static filtration media, the Kaldnes K1/K3 media is designed to move freely within your filter. The constant chaotic movement of the air from your pump, causes the media to self clean and thus requires no maintenance. This allows the filter to reach optimum effectiveness without the disturbance of periodic cleaning, avoiding unnecessary loss of bacteria within the filter. 50 Litres of K1 media will handle up to 250 grams of food per day and for K3, 225 grammes of food per day. For retrofit of existing filters, K3 media is the most suitable due to its larger size and ease of control.

Hi All,

We now stock the Fluval G3 & G6 range of external canister filters. Here is a rundown,



The New G Series of Filters from Fluval are revolutionary in every way and is destined to change the way filters are designed........Forever.
Those clunky, ugly old type external filters have always been functional but never desirable....until NOW.

With its sumptuous gloss black finish, aluminium detailing and cool blue backlit display, the Fluval G Series breaks boundaries and no longer will the humble filter need to be hidden away in a cabinet.

Hagen have invested over two years of consumer research to build the perfect aquarium filter: the new Fluval G; the future of Filtration.

Easy to Use, Easy to Clean:
Despite its cutting edge technology, Fluval G is one of the easiest filters you will ever see. Start-up is simplicity itself thanks to the one button self priming technology. Once running, maintenance is cleaner and easier than ever before. With the important biological media nestled safely in large capacity media baskets, the pre-filter and chemical cartridges remain easily accesible thanks to Fluval G's quick release system. The cartridges can be quickly removed without opening the body of the filter and rinsed or replaced as necessary.

Hydrotech Performance Monitoring:
With Fluval G's Hydrotech Performance Monitor, you are able to monitor many water parameters in real time. Water temperature, flow rate and conductivity are all easily accessible and can be viewed in graph format to monitor the aquariums performance over time.
Minimum and maximum values can be set which, when exceeded, will trigger a visual alarm on the filter screen to alert you to problems.
The Hydrotech Monitor also includes a maintenance schedule you can customise to your own requirements....so you'll never forget when that media change is due again.

Other Features:-
Fluval G's double wall construction provides exceptional soundproofing for truly whisper quiet operation.
Silicone gasket provides superior sealing and long term reliability.
Cast alloy locking levers are strong and non corrosive for a safe secire seal.
Easy Prime with a simple button auto start.
Aquastop quickly disconnects hosing.

3 Stage Filtration:
STAGE ONE - Pre filter cartridge. High capacity prefilter cartridge & No-Bypass
STAGE TWO - Chemical Cartridge. High contact chemical cartridge accepts bulk or disposable media cartridges
STAGE THREE - Biological Media Baskets. Fluval G Bio-Nodes - High capacity biological medium.

Fluval G Series Premium Filter is ideal for freshwater or marine aquariums. Each G3 and G6 Filter includes: Mechanical prefilter cartridge, chemical cartridge filled with Fluval activated carbon, G-Nodes, 10 ft hosing, 2 cross rim assemblies, 2 rim attachments, telescopic intake with intake strainer, 1 output nozzle and extension and 2 spray bar attachments, AquaStop system, quick start guide, and instruction manual on CD.
