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.

Biohome 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.

Biohome (plus) 300 grams .... $20.00
Biohome (standard) 1 kilogram $43.00

1 kg = 1.25 liters = 2.2 pounds

Buying the 1kg box is already discounted 20% from the 300gram bag.

If you are looking to buy a lot I can work with you on the pricing.

Please me with details about how much you are looking to buy.

kevin@notjustfish.com Please put biohome in the subject title.

Thank You
 
How much would I need for my new 150gal? I have a fluval 404 and a fx5 on the way...I plan on using biospira to seed the new media. Would it be better to put it in the 404 or the fx5?

The key to success with Biohome is the rate of flow that water travels through it.
The manufacturer suggests 5mm/sec. This translates to 1in/5secs.
For example:
If you are you are using a canister. The rate at which the water rises through
the canister is 1in per 5 secs.

Also, you need to keep in mind how much nitrates your tank is producing.
If you have a 90 gal tank that is jammed packed with huge catfish, peacock bass, and
other monsterfish you will need to use more biohome to be able to keep up
with the amount of nitrate you are producing.

The manufacturer claims 1 liter (1kg) of biohome can handle 2250 liters(562 gals)
But I prefer to use 1kg for 150 gals of water. This amount will be sufficient to easily
handle all ammonia and nitrite.

To handle Nitrates the manufacturer recommends 1 sqcm of biohome to 8 sqcm of fish.
But from my tests that calculation only works if you are talking about guppies and tetras that consume dry foods. I personally use 1-2kgs per monsterfish because the bioload they put on the tank is heavy. My fish are eating shrimp, beefheart, worms, etc. I usually fill
my sump or canister with as much as you can fit.

Basically biohome works, you just need to figure out your bioload in order for it
to work correctly for you.
 
it may remove nitrates, but what about other DOCs?

Hey Eric,
If your goal is to control nitrates, I would fill 1kg into fx5 and run it normally, then for
the 404 I would fill in as much as you can and use the control valve to run the water slower so the biohome has more time to work on the nitrates.
 
How many grams of this make a liter??
