#shorts A 300x view of Biohome Ultimate
filterpro.co.uk
Biohome Ultimate is made from different size sand particles and provides a perfect (Natural) home for bacteria to colonize. The variable pore size, tunnels and internal caves are suited to aerobic bacteria (for processing ammonia and nitrite) living near the outer edges and anaerobic bacteria (for processing of nitrate) deeper into the structure.
It basically does the job of a deep sand bed or live rock but in a safe environment with none of the risks.
When ammonia, nitrite AND nitrate is processed it is a full cycle.
Most filters and filter media only allow for half a job which results in high nitrates which have a long term debilitating effect on the fish .
The eyes don't lie and when you get a zoomed in view of filter media you can make your own decisions......why do no other channels show INSIDE filter media they (are often paid to) promote?
Because "trust the science".
Nope, trust what you see.

A guide to how much media to use for various stocking scenarios to achieve a FULL CYCLE can be found on the Q&A page of the FilterPro site: filterpro.co.uk as well as lots of other useful information.
Avoid using conditioners which bind / detoxify / remove ammonia, nitrite and nitrate as they prevent bacteria populations from thriving (by starving them). A normal water conditioner makes the water safe for life and allows the bacteria to achieve a full population in line with the available food.
