Mantis Bio Blocks Ceramic Biological Filter Media

Mantis Bio Blocks Ceramic Biological Filter Media

Bio Blocks are an inert ceramic filter media designed with an open flow architecture that provides a large useable surface area for biological filtration. Their microporous surface structure is suited to the growth of various microorganisms, allowing a stable and highly active biofilm to establish and develop over time. The three-dimensional void created by the sphere-on-sphere design supports colonisation by beneficial bacteria and provides a base for sponge growth, micro-fauna and coral frags. Bio Blocks are a technically advanced substrate that can help achieve efficient treatment of NH4-N and NO3-N compared to conventional media. Versatile in application, they can be used in sumps, trickle filters, wet or dry filters, hang on the back filters, or placed directly in the tank. Suitable for use across freshwater, marine and pond systems, Bio Blocks offer a flexible biological filtration solution for a wide range of setups.
