Biorb Ceramic Media Alternative

Product features additional media for your biorb or biube.

Biorb ceramic media alternative. Changing the media gradually allows the existing filter bacteria to move across and colonize the new media from the old. Simply add them to your aquarium filter. The ceramic media is home to the filter bacteria cleaning in tap water or replacing the ceramic media all at once will remove most if not all of the filter bacteria. The bio media is ideally placed in external filters as a replacement for foam media it can also be used as a replacement media for biorb aquariums.

The ceramic media should not need to be replaced but if you wish to change the media you should do so gradually in stages and not all at once. Many filter kits already include ceramic rings in the box. I was advised to keep the media in the tank as it s beneficial to the aquarium s ecosystem. Using ceramic rings couldn t be easier.

The intelligent light lasts up to 50 000 hours which means you will save around 30 a year on lightbulbs that you would have had to buy with a regular. While some ceramic rings come with their own filter media bag others come loose. Adding additional media will increase the surface area available for bacteria colonization enhancing biological filtration. A bit of digging pardon the pun has led me to eheim ehfisubstrat pro as a suggestion.

The ceramic media has been cleaned or replaced solution. Cloudy or smelly aquarium. My question is regarding bottom feeders i realise now that the supplied ceramic media is a no no for bottom feeders but try as i might getting a balanced argument about alternative media is very difficult. I knew that but i was wondering if just having any kind of rock would do the same as the ceramic media.

If your filter didn t come with any ceramic rings or you want to purchase more grab some here or from your local fish store they are very affordable. The freshly oxygenated water also feeds the bacteria. Reef one s advice is succinct and none too helpful. The water then passes through resin particles and natural stabilizers to remove toxic substances and keep the ph levels.

It comes with the biorb intelligent light which makes the aquarium itself only 90 and it also includes biorb ceramic media air pump a service kit filter an airstone and water conditioner. Any remaining waste is trapped in the sponge cartridge. If you use something else the biorb will have a worse algea problem. Reef one tech support says no.

It draws the waste through the ceramic media where the natural biological filtration absorbs some toxins. Leave the media in as the filter depends on it.
