BIO-FILTER MEDIA

Over the years we have seen everything from hair curlers to shotgun wads used as biofilter media. The irony is, all of these things will work.....to some degree. However, when you are trying to grow fish and make a profit, “To some degree” just doesn't cut it. You need a media that will give the maximum performance and, when necessary, can be easily removed and cleaned of accumulated particulate and then placed back in the biofilter. A
few years ago someone got the idea of using PVC strips as biofilter media. We at Global Aquatics acquired some of this material. To our surprise it turned out to be the best material for this purpose we had ever seen. We have now been using the same material over and over again and it never loses it ability to work perfectly.

BIO-BAGS

Bio-Bags from Global Aquatics are a good source of bio-filtration for small biofilters. By placing them on a screen or grating located in the bottom of the filter and bringing the effluent in under the screen and allowing the water to rise up through the bags total bacterial filtration can be achieved. The big advantage of the bags is the ability to clean them periodically by just simply lifting the bag from the filter, placing on the floor or in a
sink basin and water them down and just gently squeeze them like a sponge.

NOTE: This media can be shipped in 1 cubic foot boxes without the bags so you can just place it in your filter.
