Bio Filter Media

BioBalls™ provide a textured surface area (19 square inches per BioBall™) for beneficial bacteria to colonize and grow. Aquascape BioBalls™ are the ideal filtration media for use in all biological filtration.

• Center channel allows the balls to be strung together making cleaning easier
• Textured surface maximizes space for beneficial bacteria populations and water retention
• Maximizes dissolved oxygen levels
• Compact size allows for placement into smaller areas
• Paddle wheel design breaks water flow helping to de-gas and aerate water

Contains 100 balls, and media bag with drawstring

Atlantic's BB1500 contains 150 extremely durable, lightweight Bio-Balls that are easy to clean and reduce channeling. Each ball is 1-1/2" diameter and has nearly 25 square inches of surface area for beneficial bacteria colonization.

• 150 extremely durable bio-balls
• Each ball is 1.5" in diameter 
• Use one box per 18" x 22" media bag

• These plastic Bio-Balls area a great media for use in all types of filters
• Can be used as a loose media or put in mesh bags for easy cleaning
• Will not compact like other soft media
• 1.5" diameter

Savio Springflo Bio-filter Media's performance is unmatched. Unlike copies, this patented ribbon encourages better adhesion and proliferation of bacteria using a special formulation of polypropylene and calcium carbonate. The textured surface is embossed with millions of dimples to rapidly secure and develop beneficial microorganisms. It does not clog and resists channeling and compaction in up-flow and horizontal-flow low pressure filter chambers. 

• Easy to clean - simply shake it and drain the filter. Other media is prone to clogging, requiring rigorous cleaning, which disrupts healthy bacteria
• Each roll contains 180 sq. ft. of surface area
• Easily self dispenses - simply hold above filter and start unwinding media from inside center
• High performance, patented, clog and channel resistant

Aqua Ultraviolet Ultra Media is an excellent choice for DIY pond filters, providing effective biological filtration. Each box contains approx. 8.5 lbs. (1 cubic foot) of tubular bio-media, specifically designed to support beneficial bacterial growth. These bacteria help break down ammonia into harmless compounds while efficiently trapping solids without clumping.

K1 media has been used by Evolution Aqua in Koi filtration systems for a number of years. This new type of filter media, K1 Micro, contains all of the benefits of traditional K1 media but is extruded in a much smaller form. The small wheel shaped filter media pieces provide a significantly increased protected surface area per cubic foot when compared to standard K1 for bacteria to colonize. This makes K1 Micro an ideal filter media for aquariums of all types where high level biological filtration is needed. K1 Micro can also be used to replace existing filter media.

• Dimensions: 0.27" diameter x 0.35" length

Ultimate Tube Media
• Round media with multiple internal baffles which create tremendous additional surface area
• Contains nearly 500 square feet of surface area in every cubic foot of media
• Media included in EasyPro bead filters

Maturing the K1 Media bio-media is important because a delicate eco-system is naturally developing for the bacteria involved in the nitrification process. K1 Media provides the maximum active surface area for the bacteria to colonize, more than other types of static media. It is this process which removes harmful ammonia and nitrite from the water.

As the K1 Media moves within the filter, it causes the old dead bacteria on the outside to be displaced. This makes space for new younger heavier feeding bacteria to rapidly colonize. Within the wheel is a protected surface which enables colonies of bacteria to naturally follow their life cycle, of maturing, dying and then fueling the latter stages of the nitrification cycle. K1 Media has been designed to provide the best possible habitat for both young and mature beneficial bacterial colonies.

• Dimensions: 0.41" diameter x 0.3" length

From time to time (rarely) beads require replacement. Especially true if you accidentally let beads out of your sludge valve on the bottom. These are the same beads as specified for your Aquadyne filter.

The Atlantic Bio-Rocks high surface area provides the optimal environment for beneficial bacterial colonization. With all of the surface area but, 25% less weight than standard lava rock, expanded clay Bio-Rocks are the more stable, less abrasive alternative to heavyweight bio-media. Bio-Rocks are durable and easy to clean. 

• Expanded clay bio-rocks
• 25% less weight than lava rock
• More stable and less abrasive than heavy-weight bio-media
• High surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize

These mesh bags are used in each of our AquaFalls Filters (quantity varies by size of filter), but can be used for a wide variety of other aquatic applications.

This bio-ribbon media is black, spiral-shaped, plastic media that is designed to filter your pond both biologically and mechanically. The large surface area of Bacti-Twist provides a place for pond debris and other waste to accumulate and convert into beneficial bacteria. This media is easy to clean and can last for years.

Sea Side Aquatics Ceramic Bio-House Media is specifically designed for Bakki Showers, Trickle Filters and Shower Filters. 10 times more effective than normal filtration by cultivating beneficial bacteria. Bio-House ceramic media is cooked at extremely high temperatures leaving behind a high porosity structure that provides optimal environments for bacteria to colonize and thrive. Such conditions are crucial for the rapid breakdown of ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. 

• Each piece is approximately 6.25"L x 1.5"D
• Made of long-lasting, highly porous ceramic material
• pH Neutral - suitable for both freshwater and saltwater filters
• Each box is 33 lbs., 154 rods

• 28" Bakki Shower: 3-4 boxes
• 38" Bakki Shower: 6-7 boxes
• 60" Bakki Shower: 9-10 boxes

Note: Each box will be hand packed, however we do not guarantee if there is any breakage during shipment - the media is very fragile. Rest assured, broken media does not impact its filtration capabilities.
