Ea Bio Chips
The main difference between K1/K3 is that the protected area or quiet zone in Bio Chip, is designed to be the perfect environment for micro animals, not just bacteria. This extremely quiet zone created by the hydrophilic layer protecting every cavity in the Bio Chip, is critical to allow these micro animals to flourish. With other types of media they will be just flushed out.
once fully colonised the Ea Bio Chip contains an army of these micro animals, all filtering tens of thousands of times their own volume every hour, searching for these tiny particles. Gleaming healthy water, high in oxygen content with low BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) will follow as a result !
Advantages:
Huge surface area.
Self cleaning when used as a moving bed.
The addition of air into the Bio filter also adds to the nitrification process.
Add to existing K1/K3 moving bed in ratio of 20% to total media volume. 1 part Biochip to 4 parts K1/K3. |
