Two Little Fishies MetaSorb UHC (1-250)

Introduction

Two Little Fishies MetaSorb UHC (1-250) is an advanced filtration media specifically designed for the removal of heavy metals from freshwater and marine aquariums. It is particularly effective in absorbing metals like copper, lead, and other contaminants that can be harmful to aquatic life. This ultra-high capacity (UHC) media offers long-lasting performance and provides crystal-clear water, making it ideal for use in systems where heavy metals may be present due to medications, tap water sources, or environmental contamination. MetaSorb UHC protects fish, corals, and invertebrates from the negative effects of these toxic metals.

Features

• High Capacity Filtration: Ultra-High Capacity (UHC) design allows for superior adsorption of heavy metals from both freshwater and saltwater environments.
• Removes Harmful Contaminants: Effectively removes a range of heavy metals, including copper, lead, zinc, mercury, and others that can harm aquatic organisms.
• Safe for All Aquatic Life: MetaSorb UHC is formulated to be safe for fish, corals, and invertebrates, ensuring a healthy environment for all tank inhabitants.
• Non-Leaching Formula: Once absorbed, the heavy metals are securely bound to the media and will not leach back into the water, even when the media is fully saturated.
• Long-Lasting: The high capacity of the media ensures long-lasting performance, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintaining water quality for extended periods.

Usage

1. Preparation:
   • Rinse MetaSorb UHC thoroughly with freshwater before use to remove any dust or loose particles.
2. Placement:
   • Place the media in a high-flow area of your aquarium’s filter, sump, or reactor to maximize water contact with the media.
   • Ensure that the water is flowing through the media for optimal removal of heavy metals.
3. Duration:
   • MetaSorb UHC can last several weeks to months depending on the metal content in the water and the system’s bioload.
   • Replace the media once it becomes fully saturated to ensure continuous heavy metal removal.
4. Monitoring:
   • Regularly test your aquarium water for metal content and monitor the performance of the media.
   • For systems with high metal concentrations, more frequent replacements may be required.

Available Sizes

• Pouch sized for 1-250 gallon: removes up to 80 ppm of metals from 250 gallons.
• Pouch sized for 500-800 gallon: removes up to 120 ppm of metals from 500 gallons.

Recommendations

• Ideal for Tanks with Metal Contamination: MetaSorb UHC is highly recommended for aquariums using tap water or exposed to heavy metal contamination through equipment, medications, or environmental factors.
• Use After Medicating: If copper-based medications or other treatments containing heavy metals have been used, MetaSorb UHC is an effective solution to remove residual metals from the water column.
• Prevention and Maintenance: Even in systems without known heavy metal contamination, MetaSorb can act as a preventive measure to ensure your aquarium remains free of harmful metals.
• Long-Term Water Quality: By consistently using MetaSorb UHC, aquarists can maintain long-term water quality, reducing stress on aquatic life and promoting a healthier tank environment.
