Unlike budget media that slowly dissolves or turns to mush in the water column, MIZU logs are fired in industrial kilns at extreme temperatures. This creates a rock-hard, highly durable ceramic that easily withstands the heavy water flow of commercial Bakki showers and trickle towers.

The high-heat sintering process creates millions of microscopic, interconnected pores. MIZU media absorbs water instantly like a sponge, providing a massive, oxygen-rich surface area for the rapid colonization of both nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria.

The specific mineral composition of our baked clay emits far-infrared rays. This naturally helps break down water molecule clusters, increasing dissolved oxygen levels and promoting a distinctly healthier environment for high-end koi.
