The 15L BioFilter is a vital component for koi ponds or fish tanks with a volume range of 10,000 to 12,500 liters. This unit is designed to be installed inline after a mechanical solid separator filter, enabling effective biological filtration for up to 12,500L with the use of 300 blue bio balls.
Key Features:
Overview of Biofiltration:
This biofilter serves as a habitat for beneficial bacteria involved in the nitrogen cycle, crucial for detoxifying the water in your pond. It provides ample surface area for bacteria to thrive, ensuring they receive the nutrients and oxygen needed for effective processing.
Benefits of Blue Bio Balls:
Blue bio balls are recommended due to their extensive surface area, which significantly reduces the potential for clogging. This advantage is maximized when paired with an appropriate pre-filter, ensuring mechanical filtration occurs before water reaches the biofilter.
Importance of Biological Filtration:
Biological filtration is essential for the removal of organic waste compounds from the water, making it safe for fish and inhibiting algae growth by consuming nutrients necessary for algae proliferation. Given the higher density of fish and the use of high-protein feed in many ponds, the concentration of organic waste, such as ammonia, can surpass the capacity of naturally occurring bacteria. This biofilter is designed to house a sufficient volume of bacteria to ensure complete conversion of ammonia and other nitrogen compounds, thus maintaining the quality and clarity of the pond water.
Why This Bio Filter is Essential:
Choosing the 15L Bio Filter allows for an efficient and compact solution to uphold the water quality in your koi pond or fish tank, promoting the well-being of your aquatic life and maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your pond.
