pre-filter/biofilter use this versatile filter to pre-filter solids before you pump water back into your system or place one inside a separate container for use as a biofilter it incorporates matala which works great for both kinds of filtration by either reducing clogging or providing a large surface area for bacteria ez bio filter is extendable for increased capacity when used as a pre-filter the only maintenance required is rinsing with tap water 1 to 11/2 barb cut to size or 11/2 fnpt ship weight is 5 lbs dia x h ezb20 8 x 8 max flow pre-filter 1,980 gph max flow biofilter 1,140 gph matala filtration media this filtration media is expensive but definitely worth it for some applications made of flexible fiber compounds it is used in many applications in the aquaculture and koi pond markets it is excellent for removing solid wastes and unlike other filter padding totally resists compression the solid fibers are very resistant to sludge build-up and clogging making cleaning easy it also features a lot of surface area so it is very good for biological filtration great for low-pressure gravity-fed filters and skimmers matala is positively buoyant and may require anchoring in submersed applications matala is sold in 391/2 x 24 x 11/2 sheets only ships oversize at 30-lb rate fm97 fm96 fm98 fm99 matala black matala green matala blue matala gray surface area sq.ft/cu.ft biological filtration filter media 55 62 96 124 170 fiber dia mm .09 .18 .06 .045 34.00 36.00 37.00 42.00 each 31.94 33.68 34.69 39.60 4 tech talk 48 sedimentation 1.do whatever is possible to allow fish feces to drop intact into the waste collection area or self-cleaning bottom with minimal breakage minimize the use of pumps aerators and air diffusers wherever feces are present 2 do not pump the waste prior to separation design for gravity flow or siphon into a sedimentation tank or basin splashing and turbulence can attach air bubbles and break apart solids feces and food particles smaller than 40 microns may not settle without chemical flocculent 3 always locate the biofilter after the solids removal system solids provide carbon for heterotrophic bacteria which can foul a biofilter and reduce its performance 4 clean both the settling area and filters at least once a day even if they contain little waste 5 if further filtration is required after sedimentation pump the water to an affinity bead clarifier particulate filter or foam fractionator fm96 medium density fm97 low density fm98 high density fm99 super high density rolled matala for round tanks r-matala is the perfect drop in media for vortex filters and barrel filters it has the same qualities as flat sheets of matala but in a rolled precut 6 thick disc wedge it into a round filter without need for support available in green 96 sq.ft cu.ft and blue 124 sq.ft cu.ft add letter to end of part number to designate color e.g rm27g for 27 green disc here is a good sedimentation basin design wide inlet to reduce velocity a surface area of .7 to 1.4 ft2 of basin per gpm flow for feces with a specific gravity of 1.01 or greater wide outlet weir never a stand pipe no baffles which increase velocities and a simple waste drain a depth of just a few inches is enough for most designs rm24 rm27 rm30 rm36 diameter 24 27 30 36 80.00 101.00 124.00 189.00 green g 71.38 89.91 110.50 169.59 4 blue b 82.00 103.00 128.00 194.00 73.43 92.09 114.46 174.60 4 aes commitment to customer satisfaction our customers are our first priority we will provide extraordinary service to satisfy the needs of our customers we will deliver our products and services on time and error free conforming to the requirements of our customers we strive to do it right the first time and eliminate any problem that prevents us from achieving complete customer satisfactions we thank you for your patronage rm24g 294 order online aquaticeco.com order by phone 877-347-4788 tech support 407-598-1401
