Aquaforest Life Bio Media 1000ml (w/ Beneficial Bacteria)

Description

FILTER MEDIA WITH BENEFICIAL BACTERIA PRE-ADDED. FASTER WATER CYCLING

Life Bio Media is a natural, designed for freshwater aquariums biological filtration medium already settled with bacteria. Due to the presence of the specially selected bacterial strains, it initiates and supports nitrification process, accelerating tank’s maturation. It’s perfect for freshly established tanks as a biological filtration medium, it’ll boost filtration efficiency in already functioning tanks. Thanks to the Life Bio Media, nitrification process begins almost immediately.

HOW TO USE: Place the contents of the package in the filter basket. 250 ml of the product is sufficient for 100 litres of the water. We recommend replacing ½ of the medium every half a year. During cleaning and filter maintenance do not dry, don’t rinse in running water, don’t rinse in warm water. Rinse in aquarium water, outside of the main tank.

Aquaforest Life Bio Media 1000ml for Faster Cycling

The slowest part of starting any freshwater tank is waiting for beneficial bacteria to colonise your filter. Life Bio Media skips ahead by arriving pre-seeded with selected bacterial strains, so it kick-starts and supports the nitrification process from the moment it goes in. For a freshly set-up tank, that means a quicker, steadier path to safely holding livestock, and a useful buffer if you ever need to bolster biological capacity after a filter clean.

This suits the way many Singapore hobbyists set up at home, where space is tight and most of us cannot run a long fishless cycle while a new HDB tank sits empty for weeks. Our warm 27-29C water already favours fast bacterial growth, and pre-settled media gives that a head start. Drop the 1000ml volume into a canister or hang-on chamber with good flow, and keep it permanently wet so the colony never dries out and dies off.
