JBL Micromec

Product Overview

JBL Micromec is a highly porous biological filter medium made from high-quality sintered glass balls. Designed for intensive long-term biological filtration, it supports the efficient breakdown of pollutants in both freshwater and marine aquariums.

The special conical tunnel pore structure provides optimal conditions for beneficial micro-organisms to colonise. Ammonium and nitrite are broken down in the outer layers, while nitrate-reducing bacteria develop in the inner zones. With a 14 mm ball diameter, it is also suitable for smaller filter systems.
