Bioballs for Filtration

Plastic bioballs

Bio balls are small, pegged plastic balls mainly used as the biological media in wet/dry filters. These little plastic bio balls have TONS of surface area for the growth of bacteria for filtration. There are approx. 80 bio balls per gallon. They are used as the biological media in salt water and fresh water aquariums as well as ponds. They are really simple to use: place into a mesh bag and drop into the pond filter. Do not clean the bioballs once they are cycled, or you will risk killing off all the beneficial bacteria that you need to filter your water. Another use for bioballs: fill your tank's overflow box. They will keep your snails and other animals from going down the overflow as well as quiet the overflow greatly.

MICROBELIFT GEL BACTERIA

Microbe Lift PL Gel is the first product that puts the bacteria where you want it and it stays there.

Microbe Lift PL Gel will quickly attach and populate the filter material. This will help rapidly establish the necessary biological activity in your filter to stabilize your pond's environment. It will also help restore this activity to your filter when you clean or change the media.

Easily applies to filter pads/media without running or getting messy.
Contains the same broad spectrum of bacteria found in Microbe Lift PL
Contains naturally occurring bio-polymers that help the organisms attach to media allowing for 80% reduction in filter start-up time.

Convenient, Easy-to-Use, Flip-Top Squeeze Bottle!

Application:
Spread the Microbe Lift PL Gel directly to your filter pad or media. The gel will absorb into the media by letting it set for 1-2 hours before inserting back into the filter. After insertion turn off the pump for 1-2 hours, providing that the water can maintain adequate oxygenation without circulation.

Just dab it on or spread it across the entire matting. It can be applied to lava rock in a bio-upflow filter or dripped over spring-flo. It can be applied to filter pads after cleaning (and to new pads) for immediate reactivation at the following rates:

80-200 gallons - 2 oz. per pad application
201-500 gallons - 3 oz. per pad application
501-1,000 gallons - 4 oz. per pad application
1,001-5,000 gallons - 6 oz. per pad application

Maintenance
Repeat application of Gel each time you clean or replace your filter media, when nitrate levels exceed 0.6 mg/L, or as necessary to maintain optimum performance from your filter.

PERFECT FOR SPRING START-UP AND AFTER FILTER CLEAN OUTS!
