Biohome Marine Small 1kg

Biohome Marine Small is essentially Biohome Ultimate with 50% porosity, however it contains trace elements specific for marine bacteria.  It's enormous surface area supports growth of both aerobic (nitrifying) and anaerobic bacteria (de-nitrifying), removing not only ammonia (NH₃) and nitrites (NO₂) but also nitrates (NO₃). The media is coated with marine specific trace elements, which helps speed up colonization of the media by beneficial bacteria and digestion of debris.

Because the available surface area of Biohome is much larger than that of other media, using Biohome filter media in your filter will increase efficiency of your filter and will reduce the need for water changes. Please make sure to provide sufficient mechanical filtration to prevent Biohome media from clogging with debris.

This biological filter media is perfect for canister filters and power filters.

1.5 kg to 2.0 kg of media is suggested for each 25 gallons of marine aquarium water

1kg of Biohome Marine has the volume of approximately  1.25L.

Biohome is a sintered glass filter media made of heat treated silica sand. It can be used as a biological media in canister filters, power filters, internal filters and sumps. It has an enormous surface area, which allows it to house large amounts of beneficial bacteria in a very small space. The surface of the media gets colonized by two types of aerobic nitrifying bacteria - Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter. The first converts ammonia (NH3) into less toxic nitrites (NO2) and the latter consumes nitrites (NO2) and excretes nitrates (NO3). Biohome contains a protected labyrinth of tunnels that are occupied by anaerobic bacteria (denitrifying bacteria), which breaks down nitrates (NO3) into free nitrogen.
