Plastic Biofilter Media |
Bio-Media is kept inside of your filter housing. If you have an open-chamber filter you can use any type of Bio-Media you wish. If you are unhappy with the media that your filter came with, any of the items here can be used in place of the present one you are using. Bio-Media enables ponds and water gardens to maintain larger biological loads in a much smaller filter areas that conventional filter cartridges. This dramatic increase in surface area is achieved by the unique, geometric design of the type of Bio-Media being used. The increased surface of the filter medium allows more beneficial bacteria to accumulate per square inch, thereby supporting a much larger quantity of pond life and keeping your water crystal clear and healthy.
How much Bio-Media do you need for your filtration? All of our Aquafalls filters come with two or three biological filter media bags. Filling all media bags with any of the biological media we sell below, will insure you have enough surface area for bacteria to colonize. This will insure a healthy pond as long as you keep the amount of fish you put in your pond to acceptable levels. Always remember that a beautiful and healthy pond requires you have three things: Good Filtration, Proper Fish Load, Keep ½ of your pond surface covered in plants.
If you cannot keep the ammonia and nitrites at a healthy level, you need to take action or your fish will die. There is only 1 way to calculate how much biological filtration media is necessary for a healthy pond and that is to use an ammonia and nitrite test kit. The amount of fish in your pond determines how much biological filtration you will need in your filter to break down waste. If you have too many fish, and a small amount of filter Bio-Media, the Bio-Media cannot support enough beneficial bacterial colonies to properly break down the fishes waste. The end result is high ammonia levels and sick fish. You will need then to do one of these things: 1. Add more Bio-Media 2. Remove some fish 3. Add more plants 4. increase the size of your filter.

Filter Floss |
Filter Floss
Bio-Media is ribbon type material commonly used in our
Aquafalls pond filters in place of lava rock. Filter Floss
is a flat strapping that is embossed on both sides creating
additional surface area for bacteria. Filter Floss Bio-Media
is lightweight, will last indefinitely and has no effect on
water quality.
Each media bag in
the filter will weigh only 4 lbs. instead of 40 lbs. if
filled with lava rock! This makes cleaning much easier!
Each box completely fills
two MB21 mesh bags and contains approximately 4.5 cubic feet
of material.

Ultra Bio-Media is a
floating media with a very high biofilm surface that is many
times greater than other plastic media, such as bio balls,
various mats and foams, beads, ribbon, brush type media,
etc. Superior bacterial adhesion and colonization is
achieved due to the surface texture and grade of plastic
used.
Approximately 500 square feet surface area per
cubic foot! Ultra Bio-Media weighs approximately eight
pounds per cubic foot. Media is sold and packaged by weight.
Settling may occur in shipping. |

RESTRICTED PLANTS:
Some states have bans on certain pond plants. Check the
USDA Noxious Plants website
prior to purchase. The buyer needs to beware of any regulations
on plants that may be restricted. If your order gets confiscated
by your state agriculture department we cannot be held responsible.
CLIMATE VARIATIONS:
We guarantee our plants will arrive alive and healthy. Pond Plants
grow differently depending on where you live. If you took pond plants
of the same type, and planted them in different parts of the USA,
each plant would grow differently. This is Mother Nature at work.
We cannot guarantee that your climate will support long term growth
as this varies by location. With experience you will find which
pond plants thrive in your
USDA Zone. Join our
Pond, Watergarden
and Plant Forum and ask some questions before you buy
is the best advice we can give you.
SUBSTITUTIONS: We
reserve the right to substitute similar plants of equal or greater
value unless you specifically request otherwise in the remarks section
of your order. This happens almost never though, and if it does
happen it is usually in regard to floating and submerged oxygenation
plants.
