Aqua Source Kano Far Infrared Ceramic Media – 5kg
Porous media for a shower filter’s biological stage
Kano shower media provide surfaces for biofilm in a shower or trickle filter. This is the 5 kg box, with pieces 150 mm long and 40 mm thick. Aqua Source lists 50 pieces per carton.
What matters in the shower
Arrange the media in trays that can carry the wet load and allow water to spread across the bed. Open spaces matter: compacting every gap can restrict water and air or encourage channels that leave part of the media unused.
Use effective mechanical filtration before the shower so the trays do not become the main collection point for fish waste. A drum filter is one way to provide that first stage; the right arrangement depends on the complete system.

Biological performance takes time
A biological filter needs a developing biofilm, a continuing water supply and oxygen. Do not treat the media as an immediate cure for ammonia or nitrite. Test the water during commissioning and after major changes to fish load, feeding or filtration.
Keep distribution holes and drains clear, and inspect for settled dirt or dry areas. Follow the filter’s cleaning procedure and retain established biological surfaces wherever practical rather than replacing every stage at once.
Compare other pond filter media by the chamber and method they are intended for. Moving-bed carriers and Japanese matting have different installation requirements from ceramic media in an open shower.
