Reduce Nitrates w/ Biohome Media

Biohome sintered glass filtration media is the first of it's kind to actually do what it claims.
That is REMOVE NITRATES!!!!

I have used it and tested it myself for over 6 months and my tank shows
zero nitrate readings. It is only after throughly testing it myself that I am willing to
carry this product.

My company Not Just fish is now a proud distributor of Biohome Filter Media.
It is the #1 Filter media in both Europe and Asia. Biohome out performs
most major brand biological medias. Pound for pound it is the most effective
media money can buy. Use less media, get superior results, and save space
in your filter.

I am offering it for sale to MFK members in my vendor forum.

Yes my tank is planted. Mostly anubias.

The use of biohome does not interfere with plant growth.
Plants have an order of preference when it comes to absorbing nutrients.
First is free ammonia, then nitrites , then Nitrates. They consume what is
easier first, and ammonia is easiest. Ultimately, good water quality is the
key to success. Biohome helps achieve that. Excess nitrates is not good even
for planted tanks.

I am familar with cellpore. I used to carry it also.
There are a few points that I didn't like about cellpore.
- It is very fragile and breaks very easily.
If you ever try to clean it after about 6 months of use, you will understand
what I mean.
- Second it is too porous so oxygenated water travels through it to fast to
allow sufficent time for denitrafication.
- Third, cellpore isn't cheap, and over time it disintegrates, so eventually
you will need to buy more.

I used to be a very big fan of cellpore until I discovered Biohome.
Due to the fact that less is required to achieve the same results and it won't
disintegrate on me over time.

I don't mind spending more money on something that will last and works too.

What is the correct ammount to run on a 150g moderate bio-loaded wet/dry system?

and, would it be better to run it totally submerged with air injection?

Since I don't know your exact bioload and how heavily you feed, I recommend 2-3kgs.
You should put it in the last chamber of your wet dry sys. They need to be fully submerged and NO AIR injection. Nitrate is removed in an anaerobic environment.
Depending on your flow rate, Oxygen is consumed by the aerobic bacteria in the early stages of filtration, so the less oxygenated the water when in reachs the biohome, the more effective it will be.
