All Bioflow filter systems are delivered with five top-quality
filter media:
1. bioPad – filter wadding (white)
The fleece wadding acts as a mechanical pre-filter. It stops
coarse dirt, such as dead plant parts, from penetrating deeper
into the filter.
2. bioCarb – activated carbon sponge (black)
The sponge containing bound activated carbon removes
toxins from the water, e.g. harmful heavy metals and organic
impurities.
4. Nitrax – nitrate remover (green)
The sponge contains micro-organisms that are able to break
down nitrates. The JUWEL filter offers a particularly good
environment to this end.
5. bioPlus coarse – coarse filter sponge (blue)
The coarse-pored filter sponge in the middle of the filter
causes the biological clarification of the water through the
accumulation of bacterial cultures.
7. bioPlus fine – fine filter sponge (blue)
The fine-pored filter sponges in the lower section of the filter
retain even the smallest suspended particles and ensure
crystal-clear water.
Other optional filter media round off the options that are
available for the optimum use of your JUWEL inside filter:
6. Amorax – ammonium remover
Amorax is a highly efficient filter medium made of natural
zeolite. It quickly and effectively binds ammonium, thereby
preventing the formation of ammonia and promotes the vitality
of your fish.
3. Carbax – highly effective activated carbon
Carbax's excellent absorption properties permanently and
quickly bind discolourations, odours and toxic substances and
ensure crystal-clear water.
6. Cirax – ceramic granules
Cirax is a biological filter medium which creates the perfect
colonisation conditions for useful bacteria, due to its large,
highly porous surface.
6. Phorax – phosphate remover
JUWEL Phorax is a highly effective filter medium used to
break down phosphates in your aquarium. This effectively
reduces the growth of algae and can contribute to improved
plant growth.
