Momotaro Bakki Bio House Media

Product details

Momotaro Bakki Bio House Media is a ceramic filter media designed to promote beneficial bacteria growth in ponds and aquarium filtration systems. These porous ceramic cylinders provide a large surface area for bacteria colonization, helping support biological filtration by allowing bacteria to attach and develop where there is moving water. The media can be placed directly in the pond where flow passes through it, making it a practical choice for maintaining water quality through biological processing rather than chemical filtration. The “New Bacteria Bio House” style features a hole in the center to increase available surface area for colonization.
