BioKa - Model 600 -Biofilter

The biofilter is to be connected downstream of the mechanical filtration. Bacteria colonies in the trickling filter media convert the fish-toxic substances ammonium, ammonia, and nitrite to the less toxic nitrate. Important for the proper functioning of the biofilter is good ventilation and a large surface area for the trickling filter media. Please note that the biofilter needs several weeks before it reaches its full capacity. Our biofilter BioKa 600 is capable of degrading up to 1 kg of feed per day. If this amount is still too small for your system requirements, several BioKa 600 filters can easily be connected. Bioka 600 is filled with our biological trickling media BT20 and pre-loaded with the necessary bacteria. Oxygen is injected by a NEWBUBBLE aeration system.
