Description
The 7 in 1 Filter Medium is a versatile biological filter media designed for aquariums and ponds.
- Mechanical Filtration: It acts as a sieve to trap particles of waste, providing mechanical filtration.
- Biological Filtration: The porous ceramic tubes offer a large surface area for beneficial bacteria to grow, aiding in the nitrogen cycle by converting harmful ammonia and nitrite into less harmful nitrate.
- Water Flow: The irregular arrangement within the filter basket creates eddies of water, ensuring an even flow through subsequent media layers.
- Durability: The media is designed to last, but should be replaced when it breaks, crumbles, or gets clogged with dirt.
- Bacterial Colonization: Over time, the porous structure provides a substantial surface area for bacterial colonization, acting as a “backup” source of beneficial bacteria.
- Replacement Advice: It’s recommended to replace only half of the media at a time to avoid destroying valuable denitrifying bacteria
