In Reply to: confused about biological filtration posted by kiwiturtle on April 09, 2003 at 14:39:27:
:I've been reading stuff about biological filtration from various sources (online mainly). Some companies have a specialized technology (e.g. Bio-Max from Fluval) and some just use a sponge (e.g. Aquaclear). Assuming that nitrogen-eating bacteria will grow on any porous material with good aeration, why is it that many sponge-based filtration units (e.g. Fluval plus, Zoo Med Microclean) don't always mention biological filtration with their products? Is it true that a sponge in a filtration unit is a good enough biological filter after the bacterial colony is allowed to build up? Thanks for your input!
We have a sponge filter (aquaclear) in our tank, and I do not understand it but the charcoal and the sponge to break down all the turtle poop. The sponge never seems that dirty if the water is kept clear. I do not understand it, but somehow the sponge and charcoal are breaking everything down. It works!
