Safe, non-toxic, and compatible with various filtration systems, it offers long-lasting performance for both aquariums and ponds. ## Description Product description Enhances Beneficial Bacteria Colonization Promotes Odorless, Clearer Water Helps Control Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate Biohome Filter Media creates an optimal environment for beneficial bacteria to thrive, supporting both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria across various filter types and flow rates. Its advanced structure promotes the natural breakdown of ammonia , nitrite , and nitrate , ensuring healthier, balanced water conditions. By allowing nitrifying (aerobic) and denitrifying (anaerobic) bacteria to colonize deep within its porous design, Biohome provides superior filtration performance for aquariums and ponds alike. Biohome Media is made from heat-treated silica sand, ensuring it is non-toxic and inert, so it won’t leach harmful chemicals into your aquarium. This makes it safe for your fish, plants, and other aquatic inhabitants. Biohome Media performs efficiently in any environment without causing adverse effects. Biohome Aquarium Filter Media Biohome Ultimate Biohome Ultimate Media is most suitable for canister filters, overhead filters, large HOB and small shower / trickle filters. As the name suggests Biohome Ultimate is the pinnacle of filter media design and strikes a perfect balance of size, strength, surface area accessibility and specific trace elements which ensure that it will outperform every other filter media for the removal of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. Biohome Ultimate Marine Biohome Ultimate Marine Media is made for saltwater aquarium,made from industrial grade material to ensure a long working life. Biohome Ultimate Marine is an efficient 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 and reduce efficiency. Biohome Plus Biohome Plus Media with a porosity of approx. 42%, it has a great usable surface area for bacterial colonization. Biohome Plus is an efficient biological filter media and as with all porous media good mechanical filtration must be used prior to it for maximum efficiency. Biohome Ultra Mini Biohome Mini Ultra is most suitable for external canister filters, overhead filters, aquarium sumps, and aquarium shower / trickle filters. Biohome Mini Media is a smaller version of the popular Biohome Ultra Media. Biohome Ultra Biohome Ultra Media is a large media and has a extremely porous structure. It allows both nitrifying (aerobic) and denitrifying (anaerobic) bacteria to grow on and through it’s unique structure. We recommend a low flow rate to provide maximum contact time. Biohome Maxi Large sized Filter Media. Suitable for sumps. Biohome Maxi Ultimate Marine is essentially the Biohome Ultra with added trace elements to increase bacteria performance and has a porosity of approx. 50%. You can check out the extreme porosity of the Ultimate Marine yourself by touching just the tip of a piece media to the surface of some water. You’ll be amazed at how fast the water is drawn up the entire length. Biohome Standard Media Biohome 'Standard' is most suitable for internal, small external, hang-on-back (HOB) and overhead aquarium filters. It may be broken up into smaller pieces to fit into smaller filter chambers but for very small situations Biogravel may be more suitable. Biohome Standard filter media was the first in a line of premium quality sintered glass filter media. It has a 20+ year record of trouble free use It is made from industrial grade materials to ensure a long working life and with a porosity of approx. 42% it has a great usable surface area for bacterial colonization. Biohome SuperBiogravel Filter Media SuperBiogravel can be used as filter media or a substrate in aquariums which have an under gravel system where it acts as not only a substrate but also an effective filter media too. Many internal and HOB filters will have very limited provision for biological media so SuperBiogravel is perfect to boost performance by offering an efficient media for bacterial action to occur. Biohome BioGravel Filter/Substrate Media The latest development from Biohome, Biogravel is the ideal substrate for your tanks. It will not increase pH, supports growth of zooplankton and is the perfect playground for shimp. Having a porosity of approx. 42% it performs at a similar level to the Biohome Standard and Plus with the added benefit of being small enough to be used in very small situations. It is most suitable as a shrimp and plant substrate, media for under gravel filter, internal filters, HOB filters and DIY filters made from ornaments.

This seems to keep ahead of my large fish. It is in all my tanks. Review: Pricy but worth it :) - As seen on my photo, 2lbs of Biohome can fill up to 2 trays of my Fluval 407 when arranged vertically. The ceramic bio rings that Fluval came with is significantly lesser. So I just used the bio rings to top off 2 trays of Biohome. I used coarse and fine polishing sponges in the bottom tray, then Biohome and ceramic rings in the next 2 trays, then lastly Purigen and Poly-fil in the top tray. My water stayed Crystal clear! Even after putting in my driftwood, it sucked up the tannins overnight :) as far as cycling my new fishless 55gal tank, it took me almost 1.5 months to fully cycle. Though it may be expensive, I'd say its still worth it in the long run :) ## Features - 1 Pound of Biohome Ultimate media, Aquarium & Pond biological Filter Media - Premium Filtration Solution: Biohome Ultimate offers top-tier biological filtration, ensuring optimal water quality in your aquarium by effectively breaking down ammonia and nitrite. - High Porosity: Engineered with a highly porous structure, Biohome Ultimate provides a vast surface area for beneficial bacteria colonization, resulting in enhanced filtration performance. - Biologically Active: Unlike traditional filter media, Biohome Ultimate actively promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria colonies, creating a stable and balanced ecosystem within your aquarium. - Safe and Non-Toxic: Free from harmful chemicals and additives, Biohome Ultimate ensures the safety of your aquatic pets, allowing them to thrive in a clean and healthy environment. - Longevity: Crafted from durable sintered glass, Biohome Ultimate is designed to withstand the rigors of long-term use, providing reliable filtration for years to come. - Easy Integration: Whether used in canister filters, sumps, or trickle filters, Biohome Ultimate seamlessly integrates into various filtration systems, offering flexibility and convenience. - ONE OF THE BEST FILTER MEDIA ON THE MARKET ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B078WR24RT | | Best Sellers Rank | #33,966 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #382 in Aquarium Filter Accessories | | Brand | Biohome | | Brand Name | Biohome | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,446 Reviews | | Item Form | solid, porous | | Item Weight | 1.1 Pounds | | Liquid Volume | 10 Gallons | | Manufacturer | Biohome | | Manufacturer Part Number | unknown | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Target Species | Fish | | UPC | 670739364799 702823646389 600162619920 | | Unit Count | 16 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Biohome - **Item Form:** solid, porous - **Item Weight:** 1.1 Pounds - **Liquid Volume:** 10 Gallons - **Manufacturer:** Biohome ## Images ![Biohome Ultimate Filter Media (1 LB) Premium Aquarium & Pond Filtration - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ynTn7ZXSL.jpg) ![Biohome Ultimate Filter Media (1 LB) Premium Aquarium & Pond Filtration - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61HzdlIWuuL.jpg) ![Biohome Ultimate Filter Media (1 LB) Premium Aquarium & Pond Filtration - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5103HZk7z4L.jpg) ![Biohome Ultimate Filter Media (1 LB) Premium Aquarium & Pond Filtration - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818ocqd+m1S.jpg) ![Biohome Ultimate Filter Media (1 LB) Premium Aquarium & Pond Filtration - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ipRYjbPCL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How much is needed for a 55 gallon tank?** A: For a normal community tank bioload, you should add 1.35 oz per gallon of water. 20g = 1.7 lbs, 75g = 6.4 lbs The Biohome should be set on top of your sponges or depending on the type of your filter, it should be the last thing your water touches as it exits the filter. **Q: Do you ever replanish this or one time buy?** A: This is a one time buy item.
