API Bio Media 500gm/1lt

API Bio Media – 500gm/1lt is a blend of porous filter media created to mimic the water purification mechanism found in natural aquariums. The Porous natural stone has high permeability and provides an ideal environment for filtration bacteria to colonize.

API Bio Media – 500gm/1lt is a mixture of porous filtration media specially designed for recreating the water purification system of nature aquariums.

 Porous natural stone has high permeability and provides an ideal environment for filtration bacteria to colonize.

 It also helps to remove organic substances, which become a cause of water pollution and degrade quickly through the work of microorganisms.

 Features

• Enhances the quality of water.
• Perfect media for starting the nitrogen cycle and removing ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, as well as preventing various ailments linked to poor water quality.
• It generates excellent conditions for billions of Aerobic and Anaerobic Bacteria within a single filter medium due to its porosity nature. As a result, bacterium colonization takes less time, and bacteria live longer.
• Has an effective surface area of 2550m2 / liter, greatly exceeding other biological mediums on the market, according to the BET Method surface area study.
• Neutral pH pH-inert material does not affect pH and is ideal for soft water.
• Flaking of Bio-membrane. Continuous use of API Bio Media causes deposits (like dead fish, decaying plants, shrimp exoskeleton, etc.) and organic particulates (like fish food, fish waste, etc.) which accumulate over time and reduce your filter medium’s effective surface area over time.

 Benefits

• Optimal Bacteria Environment
• Can be used with all kinds of freshwater-based aquariums, ponds, and waterbodies.
• Can also be used with all kinds of filters that have space to house bio-media (like Hang On Back Filters, External Canister Filters, Overhead Filters, Trickle Filters, Sump Filters, etc.)
• Minimizes the clogging of cavities and micro-tunnels when used under good filtration conditions.
• Environmentally friendly. API Bio Media can also be reused for horticulture purposes due to its high mineral content and non-toxicity.

 How to Use?

• Before using Bio-Media, make sure it’s clean.

• Fill the mesh bag with Bio-Media

• The API Water Care 4+ packet is exclusively included as an introductory offer with the Bio-Media.

• Place the mesh bag into your filter after trying it.

• The aquarium water turns murky during setup, but it clears up after a few hours.

• If the lower flow volume is due to a blocked filter, remove the Bio-Media to a bucket and lightly rinse with aquarium water to remove debris and sludge.
