EHEIM SUBSTRATpro
Optimised bio-filter medium with perfect volume usage, long intervals between cleaning and top decomposition performance.
SUBSTRATpro consists of pearl-shaped sintered glass. The spherical shape gives a high bulk density. Thus the whole of the volume in the filter (filter baskets or modules) can be utilised. Also the optimum surface of the beads provides intensive colonisation of the important purification bacteria.
Due to the high number of bacteria, peak nitrite loads are more easily reduced and the maintenance intervals of the filter material are longer.
EHEIM SUBSTRATpro is suitable for fresh and marine water, is washable and can be reused.

I’ve used EHEIM SUBSTRATpro in my freshwater tank for six months. The filter runs more efficiently and I haven’t had to clean it as often. The water clarity has improved noticeably. It’s easy to rinse and reassemble.

Great product for both freshwater and marine setups. The beads stay in place well and the bacteria colonies are strong. I noticed a drop in nitrite levels after a few weeks. Very reliable.
Joshua Paige –
Works well in my marine tank. The filter maintains good performance even after several washes. Slight clumping after long use, but overall very effective.

I switched from a standard filter medium to SUBSTRATpro and saw a clear improvement in water quality. The filter lasts longer between cleanings, which saves time and effort.
