API® BIO-CHEM STARS biological media offers an ideal environment for cultivating extensive colonies of nitrifying bacteria, essential for creating and sustaining a vibrant aquatic ecosystem. These beneficial bacteria play a crucial role in transforming harmful ammonia into nitrate, a process known as the nitrogen cycle, which happens naturally in all aquatic habitats. As your fish produce waste, it supports the flourishing of these helpful bacteria, forming what is referred to as your “biological filter.” Over time, these bacteria will thrive, establishing themselves in the upper layers of your aquarium gravel or within filter media like API BIO-CHEM STARS.

This media is crafted using a patented process that generates a network of internal pores measuring 50-70 microns. This specific pore size is ideal for nurturing beneficial nitrifying bacteria that effectively eliminate toxic ammonia and nitrite. The advanced porous polymer design facilitates swift oxygen and water flow, ensuring the bacterial colonies remain robust and lively. Thanks to this innovative design, API BIO-CHEM STARS biological media provides four times the surface area for bacteria colonization compared to traditional ceramic rings.

• Quantity: 20 pieces per pack.
• Be sure to rinse thoroughly to eliminate any dust.
• Position BIO-CHEM STARS biological media in the final compartment of your filter.
• Within a few weeks, BIO-CHEM STARS biological media will become populated with bacteria.
