KOI POND IN LINE BIO FILTER 5LT(PRESSURISED) UNIT IS EMPTY

The 5L BioFilter is specifically designed for koi ponds or fish tanks with a volume range of 3,000 to 4,500 liters. This system is engineered to be installed inline following a mechanical solid separator filter. It facilitates biological filtration for up to 4,500L using 120 blue bio balls.

Key Features:

• Capacity: Suitable for koi ponds or fish tanks ranging from 3,000L to 4,500L.
• Bio Media Requirement: Utilizes 120 blue bio balls (not included), enhancing biological filtration.
• Functionality: Efficiently transforms harmful ammonia into nitrite, then into safer nitrate, improving water quality and fish health.

Understanding Biofiltration:

This biofilter acts as a residence for beneficial bacteria essential for the nitrogen cycle. These bacteria convert toxic ammonia, produced by fish waste and other organic materials, into nitrite and then into nitrate. The filter’s design offers a large surface area for bacteria, ensuring they receive the necessary nutrients and oxygen for their lifecycle.

Why Choose Blue Bio Balls:

Blue bio balls are preferred due to their large surface area, reducing the likelihood of clogging. When used alongside a suitable pre-filter, they ensure that water undergoes mechanical filtration before reaching the biofilter, enhancing efficiency and longevity.

Importance of Biological Filtration:

Biological filtration removes organic waste compounds from the water, creating a safe environment for fish and preventing algae growth by consuming algae’s required nutrients. In ponds with high fish density and the use of high-protein food, the concentration of organic waste can exceed the capacity of naturally occurring bacteria. This biofilter aims to house enough bacteria to eliminate ammonia and other nitrogen compounds effectively.

Benefits of the 5L Bio Filter:

• Health and Safety: Converts harmful waste, ensuring the health and safety of your pond’s ecosystem.
• Algae Control: Limits nutrients available for algae, promoting clearer water.
• Ecosystem Balance: Maintains the ecological balance of your pond, enhancing its beauty and vitality.

Choosing the 5L Bio Filter for your koi pond or fish tank is an effective way to ensure the water’s biological quality, supporting a vibrant, healthy aquatic environment.
