Description

Aquaforest Life Bio Fil 250ml / 1200ml

Give your aquarium's biological filtration a powerful boost with Aquaforest Life Bio Fil, a natural biological filtration media designed to initiate and support the nitrification process. With carefully selected bacterial strains, Life Bio Fil helps accelerate aquarium maturation and improves biological filtration in both newly established and mature systems.

Key Features

  • Supports nitrification – Carefully selected bacterial strains help initiate and support the biological nitrification process.
  • Accelerates aquarium maturation – Ideal for helping newly established aquariums develop effective biological filtration.
  • Improves filtration efficiency – Can enhance biological filtration in established, functioning aquariums.
  • Fast bacterial activity – The bacteria contained in the media allow the nitrification process to begin almost immediately, without waiting for the media to become naturally colonised.
  • Natural biological filtration media – Provides an effective environment for beneficial bacteria.
  • Suitable for new and mature aquariums – A versatile filtration solution for establishing or maintaining biological filtration.
  • Available in 250ml and 1200ml sizes – Choose the quantity suited to your aquarium system.

Benefits

A healthy biological filtration system is essential for maintaining good aquarium water quality. Aquaforest Life Bio Fil introduces carefully selected bacterial strains directly into the filtration media, helping establish and support the bacteria responsible for nitrification.

This makes it particularly useful for newly established aquariums, where biological filtration is still developing. It can also be used in established systems to help increase the efficiency of existing biological filtration.

Because the media already contains beneficial bacteria, there is no need to wait for bacterial colonisation before it begins supporting the nitrification process.

How to Use

  1. Place Life Bio Fil in the sump or another suitable filtration chamber.
  2. Position the media where it receives good, continuous water flow.
  3. Use approximately 1000ml of Life Bio Fil for every 400 litres of aquarium water.
  4. To maintain the media, replace approximately 10–20% of the filling every 6 weeks.

Recommended Dosage

1000ml of Life Bio Fil per 400L of aquarium water.

For example:

  • 250ml – suitable for approximately 100L
  • 1200ml – suitable for approximately 480L

These figures are based on the manufacturer's recommended ratio.

Ideal For

  • Newly established aquariums
  • Mature and established aquarium systems
  • Improving biological filtration efficiency
  • Supporting the nitrification process
  • Aquarists looking for a bacterial-based biological filtration media
