KOI POND IN LINE BIO FILTER 15 LT(PRESSURISED) UNIT IS EMPTY

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:

• Capacity: Optimized for koi ponds or fish tanks ranging from 10,000L to 12,500L.
• Bio Media Requirement: Designed to utilize 300 blue bio balls (not included), maximizing biological filtration efficiency.
• Functionality: Converts toxic ammonia into less harmful nitrite and then into nitrate, facilitating a safer environment for aquatic life.

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:

• Health and Safety: Ensures the conversion of harmful waste, safeguarding the health of your aquatic environment.
• Algae Management: Eliminates the nutrients algae need to flourish, contributing to clearer water.
• Ecological Balance: Helps maintain the natural balance of your pond, enhancing its overall beauty and health.

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.
