EHEIM Substrat 1240g 2L biological filter media

Biological filter media. The main task of the biological filter material is to provide the best conditions for bacterial cultures to settle, so that a bacterial lawn develops after a short time. The bacteria feed on all kinds of dirt particles and convert the substances that are critical for the aquarium. After the first cleaning using mechanical filter media (e.g. EHEIM MECH or MECHpro), biological filtration is the most important thing. It ensures clear, healthy water and stable water values. That is why we have invested a lot of research into the development of biological filter media.
