Description

American Pond Bio-Bits Pond Biological Filter Media
Select your size - each cubic foot contains over 500 square inches of surface area
Biological filtration is used to colonize bacteria so that they break down dangerous ammonia ultimately converting it to nitrite and then converting nitrite to less toxic nitrate.
Designed for removing solid particles from the water and creating large surface areas on which beneficial bacteria colonize. This filter media can be used by do-it-yourselfers to build their own filters or as replacement media for existing filters. The key to good water quality is proper filtration. Ponds that are under filtered will likely be cloudy, green and unattractive. Likewise aquatic systems that do not have properly sized filters can have high ammonia, high nitrites and low feed conversions.
Once beneficial bacteria are established in your biological media, they are difficult to destroy, except by over-cleaning, using chlorinated water, or using certain medications, such as antibiotics
