** ATTENTION IMPORTANT**
Aqua-Link
is a Reliable, Trusted source of aquarium foam.
All Foams are not equal !!! It is extremely
important to know that various foams are processed for many different
industries, insulation, packaging, sound buffers, air filtration, bedding,
outdoor furniture, etc. Because of their applications, it
is practical and also very common for such foams to be processed standard with chemical additives that destroy bacteria.
Obviously a presence of such additives would be counter productive to, and have
disastrous effects on aquarium biological eco system. With the
market saturated with such foams, you must trust that your source
(supplier) is mindful of this concern and takes steps to protect your
investment.
Aqua-Link ADP foam is special ordered in bulk under custom
requirements, tailored specifically
for safe aquarium use. It is made of a special poly ether material
that does not break down under rigorous aquarium conditions. It is custom
ordered by Aqua-Link and guaranteed, NOT TO CONTAIN Germicides, UV stabilizers,
or fire retardant treatments. Polyether foam blocks/pads are utilized by Aqua-Link for 2 principle purposes;1.
Mechanical filtration in a pre-filter assembly (to filter out
medium through large particulates)
2. Bio Media – Is an
excellent substrate to cultivate “Anaerobic” bacteria when submersed in a wet dry filter or refugium sump. The low pore count (20 PPI) provides 3 functional advantages that will
accelerate Nitro-bacterium growth:
a. Provides an extremely
large surface area for bacteria to attach. (Higher surface area than 15 PPI).
b. Dissipates and
reduces excessive oxygen from entering the media.
c. The compactness will
accomplish its functional goal using only a small portion of the filter unit..
