Here’s a full overview of Clean Water Series API Bio Media:

🌊 Product Overview

Clean Water Series API Bio Media is a high-quality biological filtration media designed to promote beneficial bacterial growth in aquariums. By providing a large surface area for bacteria to colonize, it plays a crucial role in breaking down harmful toxins like ammonia and nitrite, ensuring a stable and healthy aquatic environment.

🧩 Key Features

• Porous structure – Offers maximum surface area for colonization of beneficial nitrifying bacteria.

• Durable material – Long-lasting and does not break down easily in water.

• Chemical-free – Safe for all fish, plants, and invertebrates.

• Universal fit – Works in canister filters, hang-on-back filters, sump systems, and internal filter compartments.

• Freshwater & saltwater use – Suitable for all types of aquariums.

🐠 Benefits

• Maintains stable water quality by supporting the nitrogen cycle.

• Reduces toxic ammonia and nitrite levels naturally.

• Encourages healthier fish, invertebrates, and plants.

• Minimizes the need for frequent water changes once the tank is established.

• Provides long-term biological filtration with minimal maintenance.

📋 Usage Instructions

1. Rinse bio media gently with aquarium water (never tap water) before first use.

2. Place inside the filter chamber or sump, where water flows steadily.

3. Do not overpack—ensure good water circulation around the media.

4. During filter maintenance, rinse lightly with aquarium water only to preserve beneficial bacteria.

5. Replace only a portion of bio media at a time if needed, to avoid loss of bacterial colonies.

⚖️ Tips & Care

• Combine with mechanical and chemical filtration (like filter sponges and activated carbon) for best results.

• Avoid cleaning with chlorinated tap water, as it kills beneficial bacteria.

• Works best when left undisturbed for long periods.

• Great for both new aquariums (to establish the cycle) and established tanks (to maintain balance).
