What is this Singapore made Filter Media???

[ikan]

I received this item from a friend in Singapore. He said it's a filter media (Singapore Invention).
Is this for large filtration systems? It's a bit too big for most cannister filters (over 15 cm in length).
Can someone explain the intended use of this product.
Does it have a brand name?
Thank you.

ikan,

I don't think plecofanatics allow direct hotlinking of their images outside of their site. I've uploaded your image into your personal gallery in AQ instead.

This biological filtration media has been in the Singapore market for a while and a lot of Arowana hobbyists like to use it for their sump tank. It's definitely too big for conventional canister filter.

Cheers,

i've heard some people refer to it as bacteria house

Benny, thank you for fixing the link.
Thank you everyone, I found some info on arofanatics when I searched using "bacteria house".

I saw this in Aqua Star Yishun. Looks like a big cylinder of ceramic biological media.

It looks like Qian Hu's Nano Taro BBQ roll. I bought 1 pack, broke each piece into 4 and put them at the bottom of my Eheim canister.

Yes if its from Qian Hu is nano taro roll, actually its a copy of Japan's Bacteria House use on a bakka shower for their koi pond.
