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˝ in diameter and has nearly 25 square inches of surface area for bacterial colonization.

• 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. Negative buoyancy keeps it in place.

Simply shake it and drain the filter. Other media is prone to clogging, requiring rigorous cleaning, which disrupts healthy bacteria. SAVIO Springflo is very durable, lasting 3-5 years.

SAVIO Springflo Bio Filter Media provides enormous surface area while being light and compact. Shipping and storage is easier. Each roll contains 180 sq. ft. of surface area, suitable for up to 3 cu. ft. of filter volume.

Simply hold above filter and start unwinding media from inside center. It dispenses itself!

High performance, patented, clog and channel resistant. Included in every Livingponds filter.

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 metre 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: 6.4mm length x 7mm diameter

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
• Available in 1, 10 or 25 cubic foot boxes
• 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: 8mm length x 10.5mm diameter

• Expanded clay bio-rocks
• 25% less weight than lava rock
• Half the weight of gravel
• Same surface area as lava rock
• More stable and less abrasive than heavy-weight bio-media

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.

Great low-cost choice for large volume applications. EasyPro grinds this media in-house, allowing us to offer very competitive pricing.

• Approximately 500 square feet of surface area in every cubic foot of material, this allows for maximum filtration in a given area
• Polyester material will last for years
• Available in a 1/3, one, ten or twenty five cubic foot box
• Mesh Bags not included in BBM1, BBM10 or BBM25 boxes
• Also available in 2 cu. ft. pre-filled mesh bags

Evolution Aqua has developed a brand new filtration media called K+ Media. This advanced media, with it's innovative structure, is molded with minerals for faster beneficial bacteria development and improved bio-film. K+ Media also has much larger protected surface area than any other Evolution Aqua media.

• Class leading total surface and protected area
• Exceptional solids removal thanks to efficient design
• Enhanced biological filtration compared to K1 Micro or beads
• Minerals added during manufacturing provide faster maturation times
• Available sinking and floating
• Dimensions: 8mm length x 10.2mm diameter

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.
