KOI POND IN LINE BIO FILTER 50 LT(PRESSURISED) UNIT IS EMPTY
The 50L BioFilter is specifically designed for koi ponds or fish tanks holding between 25,000 to 40,000 liters. It should be installed inline following a mechanical solid separator filter, providing essential biological filtration for up to 40,000L with the use of 1,140 blue bio balls.
Key Features:
- Capacity: Optimal for koi ponds or fish tanks ranging from 25,000L to 40,000L.
- Bio Media Requirement: Needs 1,140 blue bio balls (not included) for effective biological filtration.
- Purpose: Essential for converting harmful ammonia into nitrite and then into nitrate, crucial for maintaining a balanced and healthy pond environment.
Biofiltration Process:
A biofilter serves as a habitat for beneficial bacteria that play a crucial role in the nitrogen cycle, ensuring the health and balance of your pond's ecosystem. The design provides a vast surface area for these bacteria, ensuring they receive the nutrients and oxygen necessary for their survival and function.
Benefits of Blue Bio Balls:
Chosen for their extensive surface area, blue bio balls prevent the issue of clogging when paired with an appropriate pre-filter. This feature is vital as it ensures that mechanical debris does not obstruct the biological filtration process, underlining the importance of having mechanical filtration in place before biological steps.
Importance of Biological Filtration:
This filtration process is pivotal in removing harmful organic waste compounds from the water, making it safe for fish inhabitation. It also plays a significant role in controlling algae growth by depleting the essential nutrients required for algae proliferation.
Given the higher density of fish and the introduction of high-protein food in backyard ponds, the concentration of organic waste, particularly ammonia, might exceed the processing capability of naturally occurring bacteria. This biofilter increases the bacterial count, ensuring the complete elimination of ammonia and other nitrogen compounds, thus maintaining the ecological health and aesthetic value of your koi pond.
Choosing This Bio Filter Means:
- Ensuring the health of your aquatic environment by efficiently managing organic waste.
- Limiting algae growth by removing its vital nutrients.
- Maintaining the ecological balance and visual appeal of your koi pond.
Opt for the 50L Bio Filter for a robust and effective solution to maintaining the health and vibrancy of your koi pond or fish tank, especially in settings with a higher population density and nutritional demands.
