BIO FILTER MEDIA: Moving-Bed Biofilm Reactor Filter Media (MBBR) is efficient in creating the perfect environment for fish and plant life. The Bio Media provides maximum surface area for the growth of beneficial bacteria to support the nitrification cycle making this media very efficient. The large surface area builds strong good bacteria colonies to support the natural nitrification cycle in converting ammonia to nitrates and nitrites to nitrates.

ADVANTAGES OF BIO FILTER MEDIA: Bio Media Plus filter media has large specific surface area, which can increase the area where nitrifying bacteria attach. Its density is close to the water, so that it can flow through water.
·
FILTRATION APPLICATION: This filtration can be used to fresh water and marine aquariums, pond filter, aquaponics, aquaculture, hydroponics water filtration. This makes a great birthday or holiday gift for anyone who has a fish tank or hydroponically grows plants. Great for friends, co-workers and family.

EASY TO USE & MAINTENANCE: It's very easy to use the fish filter media. Bio Media Plus Filter Media is designed to be self-cleaning. For a static bed filter, you just need to pour the media into the sump tank water, container, or mesh bag- you don?t have to clean it at all. Just let the media stay in the water where they are. For a moving bed filter place, you will need to incorporate an air pump and air stone to make the media move in the container.
Bio Media Plus moving bed bioreactor reactor (MBBR) filter media has a well-documented history in filter applications.  Bio Media Plus may be used for pond filters, aquaponics, hydroponics, sewage treatment, DIY applications, and more.
Bio Media Plus is slightly buoyant and perfect for mechanical or biological filtration and is available in three sizes!
How does it work?
Bio Media Plus is designed to be slightly buoyant and move freely or remain static (still) in your filter.  The bio-media provides the maximum surface area necessary to allow beneficial bacteria to colonize (grow) and remove ammonia and nitrites from your water.  Removing ammonia and nitrites from your water is essential for healthy koi (fish).  As the bio-media moves around in the filter chamber the bacteria go to work and start removing the ammonia and nitrites.  When your bacteria mature Bio Media Plus is the perfect and most efficient way to remove ammonia and nitrites.
How is Bio Media Plus different and self cleaning?
Bio Media Plus is engineered and designed to provide a place for the bacteria to grow and still be protected while it is moving around in the filter chamber.   While water and air in your filter chamber cause the bio-media to move around, the ?old? or ?dead? bacteria along with any solid waste to fall off.  This chaotic movement makes the filter media self cleaning.  This will also make room for new bacteria to colonize inside the protected wheel.
How much Bio Media Plus do I need?
How much you need will depend on your filter chamber.  The chamber should be filled approximately 60% to 75%.  Here are some some rough estimates:
Based on estimated fish weight:
·         K1 - Every 2 cubic feet will support about 35 pounds of fish
·         K2 - Every 2 cubic feet will support about 42 pounds of fish
·         K3 - Every 2 cubic feet will support about 33 pounds of fish
Based on amount of daily food fed:
·         K1 - Every 2 cubic feet will support about .65 lb. of food per day
·         K2 - Every 2 cubic feet will support about .75 lb. of food per day
·         K3 - Every 2 cubic feet will support about .6 lb. of food per day
