Exxodus is an innovative new line of medias from Continuum Aquatics which have tremendous potential to advance biological and chemical filtration. The three different formulas of Continuum’s Exxodus media are each spiked with a different ingredient to boost and enhance the various mechanisms aquarists leverage to manage water quality.
The three different types of Continuum Aquatics’ new media are Exxodus Phosphx, Exxodus BAC and Exxodus Nitryx, each of which is finely tuned to enhance one aspect of aquarium filtration. Exxodus BAC is the most conventional out of the bunch, being a basic media with high surface area for general biological filtration by bacterial colonization. However, Exxodus BAC is doped with aragonite to buffer the pH inside of the pores against the acids produced during biological activity.
将埃克萨德斯磷与颗粒状氧化铁(GFO)一起吸收磷酸盐,并且与标准的颗粒化GFO相比,大块肯定会比以往任何时候都更容易处理培养基。最后,埃克索德斯nitryx用元素硫尖刺,以鼓励通过denitrifying bacteria, helping to promote lower nitrate levels in the aquarium.
This is not the first time we’ve seen GFO incorporated into other filter materials, and many aquarium companies do offer pads that are laced with activated carbon, GFO or zeolite for various reasons. However this is the first time we’ve seen Sulfur elevated to this mainstream status, and the first time that GFO has been directly used in a biological media.
对于Continuum Aquatics来说,这是一个非常有趣的方向,可以看到这些新产品在现实生活中的表现将非常有趣。
