Expanded Clay Pops

Expanded clay balls are an environmentally friendly and cost-effective medium for hydroponic gardening. They are composed of a lightweight clay aggregate kiln-fired at high temperatures to create a porous material with a honeycomb-like structure. This structure provides an ideal environment for the roots of plants to grow, as it is full of oxygen and moisture pockets. Additionally, expanded clay balls are very lightweight, making them easy to transport and handle. They are also incredibly durable and reusable, making them an excellent choice for long-term hydroponic growing operations. Furthermore, they provide good drainage and do not compact, giving plants plenty of room to grow. Lastly, they are particularly effective at buffering pH levels, providing an ideal environment for nutrient uptake. These benefits make expanded clay balls an ideal choice for the hydroponic gardener. Benefits of Expanded Clay Balls Improved Nutrient Delivery: Expanded clay balls help to deliver nutrients directly to your plant’s roots, providing them with the nutrition they need to grow and thrive. Increased Airflow: The large surface area of these balls helps to increase oxygenation and ventilation throughout the root zone, which helps to promote healthy root development. Improved Drainage: Expanded clay balls help to create better drainage in soil, allowing excess water to escape quickly and helping to prevent root rot and other issues caused by poor drainage. Long-Lasting: Expanded clay balls are incredibly durable and can last for years without needing to be replaced. Cost-Effective: Expanded clay balls are inexpensive and can be reused, making them a cost-effective solution for many gardening needs.

VULCAN 26-Three tiered fountain nozzle

VULCAN 26 FIX JETS MULTI JET NOZZLES A captivating and low-maintenance water feature with three clear streams arranged in a triple-tiered design. This kind of water feature is perfect for small to medium-sized displays, adding a touch of elegance and tranquility to any space. The fact that no constant water level is required suggests a self-contained system or a recirculating pump, making it easier to maintain. Materials: Use durable and weather-resistant materials for the tiers, such as stone, concrete, or resin, to ensure longevity and easy maintenance. Opt for clear materials for the streams, like glass or transparent plastic, to enhance the visual appeal. Pump System: Install a reliable recirculating pump to keep the water flowing continuously through the streams. Consider a pump with adjustable settings to control the water flow, allowing you to create different visual effects. Lighting: Incorporate LED lighting within or around the water feature to enhance its beauty, especially during the evening or night. Use colored lights to create a more dynamic and visually striking display. Landscaping: Surround the water feature with suitable landscaping elements, such as rocks, plants, or flowers, to integrate it seamlessly into its environment. Choose complementary colors and textures to enhance the overall aesthetic. Maintenance: Regularly clean the clear streams to ensure they remain free of debris and maintain their transparency. Check and clean the pump periodically to ensure it functions properly. Consider adding a filtration system to keep the water clean and clear. Safety Measures: If the water feature is accessible to children or pets, ensure that it is designed with safety in mind. Consider adding a protective barrier or cover if needed. Customization: Tailor the design to fit the specific space and style preferences. Consider consulting with a landscape architect or designer for a personalized touch. Remember, the key is to create a visually appealing and calming focal point that complements its surroundings. Whether it's placed in a garden, courtyard, or indoors, this triple-tiered clear stream water feature can bring a sense of serenity and elegance to any space.

Zeolite for fish ponds

Zeolite is used in biofilters for fish ponds as a type of substrate to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria. These bacteria are responsible for breaking down harmful waste products, such as ammonia and nitrite, into less toxic compounds like nitrate. In a biofilter, water is pumped through a chamber filled with the zeolite substrate, allowing the bacteria to colonize and grow on the surface. As the water flows over the zeolite, the bacteria use the waste products as a food source, breaking them down into less harmful compounds. The use of zeolite in biofilters is beneficial because it provides a large surface area for the bacteria to grow on and it has a natural ability to absorb and retain ammonium ions. This helps to maintain a stable and healthy environment for fish in the pond by removing toxic waste products. Additionally, zeolite is a relatively low-cost and readily available material, making it a popular choice for use in fish pond biofilters.

Expanded Clay Aggregates - ECA filter media

ECA is round pellet structure produced by firing natural clay at temperature of 1200°C. The result is a hard, honeycombed structure of interconnecting voids within the aggregate. The particles formed are rounded in shape and generally range in size from 0-30mm; these are processed to the required grading, depending on the final use. ECA is an extremely light weight, strong and thermally insulating material. ADVANTAGES PREVENTS ROOT ROT Another result of increased Oxygen levels and improved drainage is that aerobic (air breathing) bacteria populations remain strong which keep the disease causing anaerobic (non air breathing) bacteria at bay. PROVIDES PHYSICAL STABILITY When growing outdoors with a lightweight media such as coco pit etc., , blending some ECA into the mix will give planters the extra weight they need to resist getting knocked over by wind, rain or small animals. REDUCES WATERING REQUIREMENTS & WATER EVAPORATION By top dressing your pots and planters with a one to two inch layer of ECA evaporative losses are reduced which effectively conserves water and increases the time between watering EASY REUSE ECA can be kept for an unlimited time, without ever changing. Supplied in bags it is easy to use, store, carry and dose. BLOCKS ALGAE AND FUNGUS GNATS A top dressing of ECA also serves to block direct light from reaching the growing media which prevents problematic algae from growing on its surface. This 'dry' top dressing also deters fungus gnats from colonizing your containers with their root destroying larvae. *Environment-friendly *Non-combustible *Natural insulation *Vegetation in the roof can also help prevent UV rays *Very light, yet holds moisture

Expanded Clay Aggregates

Expanded clay aggregate, is a lightweight ceramic shell with honeycomb core produced by firing natural clay to temperatures of 1100-1200°C in a rotating kiln. The pellets are rounded in shape and fall from the kiln in a grade of approximately 0-32 mm with an average dry bulk density of approximately 350 kg/m³. The material is sieved into a number of different grades to suite the application. With the advantage of light weight, High permeability, high durability and excellent sound and thermal insulating properties, expanded clay is a good 'all round' aggregate for use in a variety of applications. It is also an environmentally friendly product composed mostly of naturally occurring clay, is not susceptible to chemical attack, rot or frost and has a long-life span. The lightweight nature of the expanded clay pellet makes it an ideal solution when constructing over weak soil deposits or reducing the load behind old and susceptible structure. The air pockets within the pellet provide excellent thermal resistance when used as underfloor insulation within solid floor construction. Using clay pebbles will help speed up plant growth by providing plenty of aeration to the root zone. They also provide a great support structure to give your plants unparalleled stability. It can also be used as a drainage layer in plant pots for semi-hydroponic potting. If placed above as cover layer, it can provide optimum protection against dehydration. It can also be used to mix with soil in loosening the potting mix to give adequately aeration to plant roots. Expanded clay is the best growing media for your aquaponic system's media bed. It has lots of surface area for helpful bacteria to grow on and is chemically and biologically neutral which is very important for aquaponic systems. Features It is substrate for hydroponics growing it is reusable and eco friendly Serves as good surface area for bacterial growth in Aquaponic systems
