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.

High Jet Nozzle / Clear Stream Nozzle

High Jet Nozzle / Clear Stream Nozzle is a special nozzle that is used to achieve greater fountain height, preferred in Floating and lake fountains. They have built in angle adjustable Flanges. Stunning Visuals The most obvious benefit of installing a lake fountain is probably the aesthetic value. When people think of lake fountains, the image of towers of water and beautiful moving shapes begin to inundate the imagination. There are a wide variety of spray patterns and strengths available to create the perfect visual for any setting. There are even LED lighting kits available to bring the most of your nighttime scene. If you thought your fountain was impressive during the day, just wait until the streams of water reflect the light and create bright and colorful shapes in the night. Water Aeration One of the most useful benefits of having a fountain installed in your pond or lake is the occurrence of aeration. Aeration is the process of increasing the amount of dissolved oxygen in a body of water. Keeping your lake or pond aerated is extremely beneficial to the health of your water. This is especially true if you have fish in your water; they need to oxygen to survive. Aeration also prevents the development of organic matter that can build up in your water. Remember that your body of water is an ecosystem, and it requires a healthy balance to thrive. Noise Mitigation Another wonderful quality associated with lake fountains is the soothing sound created by the steady flow of water. There is a profound serenity that overcomes a person when they allow such sounds to soothe and relax them. The water splashes continuously on the lake’s surface, mitigating surrounding noises that may be distracting. This is especially beneficial if your lake or pond is near a street or other noisy area. Once you hear the sounds of your new lake fountain, you will see that your outdoor scene is finally complete. Make the most of the lake or pond on your property. Allow a beautiful lake fountain to transform your scene. With the wide ranges of styles and designs, you are sure to find the right fountain to complement your space. You (and your fish) will be pleased with the increased health of your water, and the soothing sounds will enhance the entire atmosphere. As beneficial as lake fountains are, they’re almost necessary!

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

Sunsun Pond UV Filter / UV Sterilizer / UVC Clarifying

It protects your fish against germs. Safe and good for your fish and plants. Provides clear water. It purifies the pond water without the addition of chemicals. It keeps algae, bacteria and mold formation under control. With universal hose connections. The pond water is pressed with a pump through the housing, where it is channeled past the UV-light sterilizer. By means of UVC-radiation of the PL-lamp, harmful bacteria and germs are destroyed and the algae formation remains under control. The UVC-clarifier provides clear pond water within 14 days. You achieve the best result if you combine the UVC-clarifier with a biological filter. A special insert in the inner housing (helix) ensures that the water flow moves in a spiral course around the UVC lamp. Consequently, the exposure time to the UV radiation of the water to be clarified is twice increased. If compared with similar devices with reflector technology, this new model is not susceptible to sediments and dirt of the reflector, which reduces significantly the cleaning work.

AQUA CLAY Pebbles Filter Media

Biological filter material, ideal for larger and trickle filters. Effective pollutants degradation trough 140m²/l colonization area. Provides crystal clear water in your aquarium and pond. Binds phosphates and reduces algae growth. Very light and self-cleaning filter media. In big ponds and aquariums the increased metabolism due to high fish populations often leads to increased water pollution. For this reason Aquaclay F-4-10 was developed. Aquaclay F-4-10 should ideally be put in the provided filter medium bags. Aquaclay F-4-10 should be washed under warm, running water before filling the filter. During the first filling of the filter the bacteria need approximately 2-4 weeks to reach about 70% of the filtration performance. After 4-6 weeks nearly 100% of the filtration performance is accomplished. The colonization time can be reduced by using bacterial cultures (bacteria starter). Aqua clay balls are designed as a hydroponic medium. They allow for great root penetration and aeration. One of the most popular hydroponic mediums, Canna Clay Balls are the perfect medium for use in hydroponic wicks and pots. Clay Balls are also great for using in the base of a pot, when growing in soil or coco, as they provide excellent drainage and aeration. They can also be used to provide greater aeration in heavier potting mixes. *Biological filter material, ideal for larger and trickle filters. *Effective pollutants degradation trough 140m²/l colonization area. *Provides crystal clear water in your aquarium and pond. *Binds phosphates and reduces algae growth. *Very light and self-cleaning filter media.
