Floriell Bio Filter Media Aquarium Filter 2 Liter Pack for Nitrifying Bacteria and Water Treatment

Floriell Bio filter media is essential in a fish tank because it supports the growth of beneficial bacteria that break down harmful waste products, keeping the water safe and balanced for your fish.

One package size is 2L, works with 30 gallons of water.

Here’s how it works and why it’s important:

1. Ammonia and Nitrite Removal: Fish produce waste that releases ammonia, which is toxic in high concentrations. Beneficial bacteria convert ammonia first to nitrite, which is also toxic, and then to nitrate, which is far less harmful. Bio filter media provides a high surface area for these bacteria to colonize, enabling this conversion process, known as the nitrogen cycle.
2. Maintaining Water Quality: Without adequate bio filtration, ammonia and nitrite levels can quickly rise, stressing or even poisoning fish. Bio filter media helps maintain stable water chemistry, reducing stress on fish and other tank inhabitants.
3. Natural Ecosystem Balance: In a balanced tank, bio filter media helps replicate natural ecosystems where waste is broken down by bacteria, contributing to a cleaner, healthier environment.
4. Lower Maintenance Needs: Bio filter media reduces the need for frequent water changes and helps prevent algae blooms by controlling nutrient levels.
