AquaEl BioCeraMAX Filter Media

The BioCeraMAX line of biological filter media are designed to eliminate nitrogen compounds from the water by natural means. BioCeraMAX 600 is made from ceramic materials, while BioCeraMAX 1200 and 1600 are made of exceptionally durable sintered glass. By providing ideal conditions for the growth of nitrifying bacteria, they prevent the accumulation of biological waste in the water. Multi Cartridge Pro BioCeraMAX are unique contributions to a wide range of AquaEl filters, designed for biological water filtration in freshwater and marine aquariums, paludariums, aquaterrariums and terrarium pools.

BioCeraMAX 600

The 600 is in the form of rolls made of porous ceramic material, which provide a very large filtration area - 600 m2. On the internal surface of the pores of BioCeraMAX 600 cylinders placed in the aquarium filter over time, strains of useful nitrifying bacteria from the genera Nitrosomonas and Nitrospira are being settled. These microorganisms use metabolic products: ammonia (Nitrosomonas) and nitrites (Nitrospira) toxic to fish in their life processes. Nitrifying bacteria oxidize ammonia and nitrite to form nitrates, which are much safer for the inhabitants of the aquarium.

BioCeraMAX 1200

The 1200 is in the form of rolls made of fine-grained sintered glass ensuring an extremely large filtering surface - 1200 m2. On the inside surface of the pores of the BioCeraMAX 1200 rolls placed in the aquarium filter over time, strains of useful nitrifying bacteria from the genera Nitrosomonas and Nitrospira are being settled. These microorganisms use metabolic products: ammonia (Nitrosomonas) and nitrites (Nitrospira) toxic to fish in their life processes. Nitrifying bacteria oxidize ammonia and nitrite to form nitrates, which are much safer for the inhabitants of the aquarium. BioCeraMAX 1200 is perfectly suited as a filter bed in canister filters, overflow filters, internal filters with chambers for loose powders (e.g TURBOFILTER), sumps, filter chimneys.

BioCeraMAX 1600

The 1600 is in the form of balls made of fine-grained sintered glass that provides an exceptionally large filtration surface - 1600 m2. On the internal surface of the pores of the BioCeraMAX 1600 balls placed in the aquarium filter over time, the strains of useful nitrifying bacteria from the genera Nitrosomonas and Nitrospira settle. These microorganisms use metabolic products: ammonia (Nitrosomonas) and nitrites (Nitrospira) toxic to fish in their life processes. Nitrifying bacteria oxidize ammonia and nitrite to form nitrates, which are much safer for the inhabitants of the aquarium.

The MULTI CARTRIDGE PRO BioCeraMAX cartridge should not be washed in tap water to prevent its sterilisation.
