Biohome BioGravel

Description

BioGravel media is an ideal substrate, but also a highly efficient filter media. Sintered glass is mixture of silica sand and glass fired at high temperature to form rough, porous glass balls. Nearly inert it should not affect pH significantly, although a large volume may raise the pH temporarily.

It’s ideal to place Biogravel in a mesh bag if intended for use in a regular filter rather than as a substrate.

It supports growth of zooplankton and is the perfect playground for shrimp. It should also work well in:

• Small DYI Filters

• Internal Filters

• HOB Filters

• Small Canister Filters

• BiOrb Upgrades

• Tank Substrate

BioGravel is a small, round media ranging in size from 1/8″-1/2″ in diameter.  1 kg occupies between 57 and 70 cu in depending on your filter size. To see how much your filter requires click on this link: “How Much Do I Need“.

Complimentary Filter Starter Balls (1/4 bag per kg) are shipped with each order to speed beneficial bacteria growth. The media recovers quickly after the use of medications.

Biohome ® allows both nitrifying (aerobic) and denitrifying (anaerobic) bacteria to grow on and through it’s unique structure. This allows it to also control nitrates. Check the Rules of Thumb for Nitrate Reduction to estimate how much you’ll need to reduce the nitrates in your pond or tank.

Biohome ® BioGravel Media is a biological filter media and good mechanical filtration must be provided to insure the water passing through it does not contain any debris that might clog it.
