Description
Biohome Ultimate is a best-selling sintered glass filter media. Ideal for aquariums and ponds, it works in canister filters, power filters, internal filters, and sumps. Its enormous surface area allows it to house large amounts of beneficial bacteria in a compact space. The media supports two types of aerobic nitrifying bacteria: Nitrosomonas, which converts ammonia (NH3) into less toxic nitrites (NO2), and Nitrobacter, which consumes nitrites (NO2) and excretes nitrates (NO3). Additionally, Biohome features a protected labyrinth of tunnels where anaerobic bacteria break down nitrates (NO3) into free nitrogen, ensuring a balanced and healthy aquatic environment. Proudly made in the UK, Biohome Ultimate is your go-to solution for superior biological filtration.

I gotta say that this is by far the best media I have ever used. I have been running biohome ultimate in my Marineland C360 canister for several months and decided to purchase an additional 2kg for my new Marineland C360. Along with running biohome, I use Chemi-Pure Blue and my water parameters couldn’t be any better. Absolute magic! Matrix and other media doesn’t even come close to what this has to offer. I challenge all of you to give it a try! Check out my YouTube channel as well. Thanks! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4DcU5PXN7u1VDx7yvyZYfw

Ordered 4.5 pounds of BioHome Ultimate a few days ago and had it delivered in only a few days, thought that was great shipping time.
Put the BioHome Ultimate in my Fluval 406 Canister filter. Filter has 4 media trays, bottom one I left with just the foam filter and the other 3 trays I filled with BioHome Ultimate. They also included for free about 10 Bio starter balls, thought that was cool of them. I put 3-4 balls in each tray directly on top the BioHome to help establish the Bio Colony faster.
This is a 55 Gallon Cichlid Tank and we was having a major problem with Ammonia from 15 Cichlids in the tank and it being a tank only 2 months old. Time will tell if this filter media can do the job and keep my tank ammonia free once the bacteria colonies start growing in the BioHome.
I left my Fluval 110 Hang on Back filter still on the tank working also, at least till the canister has been running for awhile to take over the job completely. The Fluval 110 sure was not doing the job by itself and why I bought the 406.
If this new setup works out I will update and let you know how the new media is doing. But from what I read about BioHome Ultimate it should do well. Going to rate this high for now after seeing it first hand and reading about it on web, if things change I will let you know.
