Filter sponge Bio - L

Filters perform an important task in the aquarium, which occurs in nature through the natural movement of water by flow. Pollutants and contaminants are carried away, new minerals are added and the water is enriched with oxygen. In the aquarium, different types of filters perform these tasks so that there is a constantly good water environment in which all occupants feel comfortable.

A filter should be equipped with different materials so that it can work effectively. The filter sponge, in particular, plays a major role. Not only does it hold back coarse dirt, but a large number of useful microorganisms also settle on it, the so-called "good cleaning bacteria", which already have a great influence on the decomposition of metabolic products here. Our filter sponge Bio L is therefore one of the most important parts, whether in the internal filter or in the external filter. The coarse sponge can be cut to shape so that it can be optimally adapted to its new task.

Every now and then, you should clean the filter, including removing the filter sponge and rinsing and squeezing it under cold water until the water is almost clear. Do not use hot water or even detergent, as this would kill the bacteria and detergent residue could get into the aquarium water. Do not clean the filter at the same time if you have scheduled a water change before or after, and replace the filter media in order, staggered, and never all at the same time. We recommend using a bacteria preparation such as our Bacter Liquid when you have washed out or replaced the filter sponge.

Tip: Use our Bacter Liquid when you use the filter sponge for the first time, so that enough beneficial bacteria can get to work immediately and work efficiently!
