KOI POND IN LINE BIO FILTER 10 LT(PRESSURISED) UNIT IS EMPTY
The 10L BioFilter is an essential addition for koi ponds or fish tanks with a volume of 5,000 to 7,500 liters. Designed to be installed inline following a mechanical solid separator filter, this unit facilitates biological filtration for up to 7,500L using 240 blue bio balls.
Key Features:
- Capacity: Suitable for small to medium-sized koi ponds or fish tanks ranging from 5,000L to 7,500L.
- Bio Media Requirement: Utilizes 240 blue bio balls (not included) to ensure efficient biological filtration.
- Function: Converts harmful ammonia into nitrite and then nitrate, a crucial process for a healthy aquatic ecosystem.
Understanding Biofiltration:
This biofilter acts as a domicile for beneficial bacteria instrumental in the nitrogen cycle, which is vital for detoxifying pond water. It offers an extensive surface area for bacteria, facilitating their nutritional and oxygen needs efficiently.
Advantages of Blue Bio Balls:
The use of blue bio balls is preferred due to their significant surface area, reducing the risk of clogging, especially when a proper pre-filter is in place. This ensures that mechanical filtration effectively precedes biological filtration, safeguarding the biofilter's efficiency.
Importance of Biological Filtration:
Biological filtration plays a pivotal role in removing organic waste from water, rendering it safe for fish and controlling algae by depleting its nutrients. In a koi pond, especially those with higher fish densities and supplemental feeding, the organic waste levels can exceed what naturally occurring bacteria can manage. This biofilter amplifies the bacterial capacity to ensure complete ammonia and nitrogen compound removal, maintaining water quality and clarity.
Why Choose This Bio Filter:
- Health and Safety: Provides a necessary process for converting harmful waste, ensuring the well-being of your koi or fish.
- Algae Control: Removes nutrients required for algae growth, helping keep your pond clear.
- Balance and Beauty: Aids in maintaining the ecological balance, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your pond.
Opting for the 10L Bio Filter offers a compact yet powerful solution for maintaining optimal water conditions in your koi pond or fish tank, ensuring the health of your aquatic environment.
