BioCeramax UltraPro 1200 is a unique filter media designed for biological water filtration in freshwater and saltwater aquariums, paludariums, aquaterrariums, and terrarium pools.It consists of cylinders made of fine-pored sintered glass, which provide an exceptionally large filtration surface area—1,200 m².

How BioCeramax UltraPro 1200 Works?
Over time, strains of beneficial nitrifying bacteria from the genera Nitrosomonas and Nitrospira colonize the inner surfaces of the pores in the BioCeramax UltraPro 1200 cylinders housed in the aquarium filter..These microorganisms use metabolic byproducts that are toxic to fish in their life processes: ammonia (Nitrosomonas) and nitrites (Nitrospira).Nitrifying bacteria oxidize ammonia and nitrites into nitrates, which are much safer for the aquarium's inhabitants.
