Superfish hollow bio beads is a biological filter medium with a unique and innovative design: a porous hollow bead with a biological cavity inside.. This provides a double action filtration: 1 optimal aerobic filtration through the porous bead with a specific surface area over 500m per litre. The high oxygen content in the filter media ensures optimal nitrification resulting in detoxification off ammonia and nitrite. 2 The biological cavity inside the bead has a low accessibility for water and oxygen, allowing anaerobic denitrification breakdown of nitrate .. Features. Double action filtration: aerobic and anaerobic. Filter surface of more than 500m per litre. Reduces nitrate levels, helping to limit nuisance algae growth
