Bio filter media or biological filter media is the foundation of a healthier and sustainable water ecosystem. It facilitates for the formation of necessary bacteria that brings the nitrification process.
A bio filter media are part of the triad filter media system. The trio includes mechanical filter media that physically removes and chaps wastes and the chemical filter media that used chemicals to manage waste.
At SINTA, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy aquatic environment for your beloved fish. That's why we're proud to offer premium biofiltration media designed to optimize biofiltration in your aquarium.
What makes our biofiltration media different?
Made from high-quality materials, our biofiltration media provides an ideal surface for beneficial bacteria to colonize, ensuring efficient biofiltration and pure water quality for your aquatic life.
The bio filter media differ from the other types because it provides housing for bacteria that paves way for nitrification. There are different kinds of bio filter media such as bio filter media balls, biohome filter media.
Other biological filter media also include plastic bio filter media such as our MBBR bio filter media. There are also ceramic bio filter media like the ceramic bio filter media cylinders.
These media are placed in various filter systems. Example, you can put it in an external filter media. What the bio filter media do once inside the filter is to make room for the bacteria to grow.
Unlike the other filter media, its area for bacteria is protected. The bacteria are contained in different compartments, in which these bacteria helped to create a healthier aquatic ecosystem.
The plastic bio filter is also preferred by some aquatic, because it is less exhaustive to maintain. Our MBBR bio filter media can last for years to house good bacteria provided it is not disturb with other elements like chemicals.
Ratio
Each bio filter media have different ratio sizes. The ratio selection depends on your preference and the size of your canister filter media.
There are those that are as small as 1000 m2/m3 to as big as 1400 & 3000 m2/m3
Size or dimension dimension
Aside from the ratio, each bio filter media also have different item sizes. For instance, a plastic bio filter media have a size of 11mm x 7mm in dimensions.
You may also choose other sizes based on the size of your filters.
Number of compartments
The style or design of the bio filter media is engineered for optimum bacteria growth. There are biological filter media that have five compartments to house the good bacteria.
Other bio filter media only have a single compartment. Take for example the ceramic bio filter media cylinder that only has a single room for the bacteria.
Material
bio filter media can be made up of various kinds of materials. It can be plastic, ceramic or even powdered glass. All of these materials are believed to be useful in growing the bacteria.
Colour
Like the size and ratio, bio filter media also have a wide range of colours. You can have black, blue, white, brown and even more lighter ones. Some prefer to have white for the bacteria growth to be visible.

Housing for bacteria
One of the most beneficial feature of bio filter media against other forms of media is its capability to house bacteria. It is because the housing process catapults all other processes.
Most biological filter media are designed to give maximum room for bacteria growth. Regardless of its design or size, bio filter media aim to colonize more of these bacteria.
Destroy toxic
Once the bacteria have built-up, it destroys toxic like ammonia and nitrate. These harmful chemicals come from waste in the water (i.e. fish waste).
It can be harmful for the ecosystem. Hence, the bio filter media prevents the death of the ecosystem through its housing.
Non-clogging
Certain bio filter media like the plastic bio filter media are less likely to clog. It means that bacteria can grow without hindrance. This also helps with minimizing maintenance as some plastic bio filter media can last for years
There are also bio filter media filters that clog up faster. Thus, the clogging feature are not the same in all bio filter media types.
Enhance filter performance
Every filter media aim to improve the filtering performance of your aquatic project. With bio filter media, it increases the filter performance by providing enough bacteria to remove ammonia and nitrate.
You need to place enough bio filter media in accordance to the size of your filter. It is ensure that the ratio of good bacteria and harmful chemicals have great disparity.
Suitable for aerobic and anaerobic processes
Bio filter media is versatile enough to be used in different filtration mechanisms. Whether you are choosing an aerobic or anaerobic filtration process, the biological filter media is capable of doing its purpose. Thus, it can make your process fast and convenient.
Biological Filter Media for Ponds
What to use for filter media? The bio filter media are best used in ponds or as aquarium filter media. These media are of great help in the aquaculture activities to get the best yield.
For different kinds of filter chambers, bio filters such as plastic or ceramic media can be the best bio filter media for canister filter. However, it can also be used for other forms of filters like the standard ones, for moving bed filter or you can choose to retro-fit to already existing filters.
Filter Chambers or Systems
Bio filter media can simply be placed in the filter chambers or systems. For increased success rate, you should also ensure that it has a good environment. You can start with the right water movement and temperature.
It is also important that you regularly check the media for clogging. As pointed out above, not all media are invincible from clogging. But, even those that are less likely to clog may have issues sometimes.
