POWERHOUSE MonoBall (500ml/3L)

Description

Easily create water through biofiltration, just like pros and enthusiasts. Incredibly easy to use.
Creating proper water is the basic point in aquariums. Good water is created by microbial activity in the water, and both fish and waterweed thrive in water with good microbial balance. However, creating good aquarium water is a “complicated world,” requiring experience and skill, which is, in general, difficult obstacle for beginners. Power House MonoBall was developed to make it possible even for beginners to easily create an environment for biofiltration and provides high performance in all types of filters.

MonoBall has been redesigned to increase the effective area for microbe settling by 17% over the previous product. Suited for all types of filters
Power House MonoBall is particularity suited for use in hood filters due to their form even though it can be used in all types of filters, bringing out this type of filter’s maximum performance. It is also good for setting up water with an external filter fitted with multiple compartments, and it enables high-performance filtering over long periods.

POWERHOUSE MonoBall biological filter media

POWERHOUSE MonoBall is a Japanese-made spherical biological filter media designed to host the beneficial bacteria that drive a stable nitrogen cycle. Its porous ceramic structure packs huge surface area into each ball, giving nitrifying bacteria room to colonise so ammonia and nitrite are processed efficiently. We recommend bio-media like this for canister and sump setups across Singapore, where warm 27-29C water speeds up biological activity but also demands robust filtration to keep pace with the metabolic load of tropical fish.

The 500ml and 3L volumes let you scale to nano tanks or larger planted and community systems alike. Rinse new media gently before use, place it after mechanical stages so it does not clog with coarse debris, and only ever clean it in dechlorinated or old tank water to preserve the bacterial colony. MonoBall is available in soft (acidic-leaning) and hard variants, so choose to suit whether you keep soft-water species or harder-water fish in our local tap conditions.
