AquaOne BioNood Ceram Nood 250

Every successful aquarium relies on bacterial activity to process the highly toxic Ammonia your fish produce as a primary waste product. It’s a simple, reliable process called Nitrification that suits the bacteria, suits you (less work with your setup) and most importantly suits your fish (great water conditions). So far, so good. However, we need a lot of bacteria to do the work. Billions of them, no Trillions, no Gazillions….well you get the idea and they are really very tiny but we still need somewhere for them to live and that’s where AquaOne BioNood Ceram Nood 250 come in.

AquaOne BioNood Ceram creates biological stability in your aquarium by providing the ideal environment for beneficial bacteria. Should be used as a permanent filter media providing long life and very little maintenance.

AquaOne Bio Noodles are manufactured from a clay material that is heated until all the gases in it vaporise and force their way out leaving the resulting ceramic material durable and aquarium safe but also very, very porous. In fact a handful of Bio Noodles have the same overall surface area as a tennis court… The ceramic is formed into hollow tubes to, again maximise its surface area and also to allow water to flow over and around it very easily.

When AquaOne BioNoodles are placed in a suitable aquarium filter with a decent water flow and some fish waste content the aerobic bacteria colonise the Bio Noodles and take up residence in all the nooks and crannies of the filter media. In this way your livestocks toxic Ammonia waste is processed by a huge number of helpful bacteria without you having to do anything except maintain a reasonable water flow through the filter.

You must NOT EVER wash bacteria rich Bio Noodles under the tap – the Chlorine content kills the bacteria. A gentle rinse in a little aquarium water is sufficient to get rid of any clingy solids. Please remember: The Bio Noodles aren’t supposed to be clean, the opposite actually.

However, over time, the pores of the AquaOne BioNood Ceram Nood become blocked up with debris and they should be replaced with fresh ones. We have learned that the best way to do this is to throw out 25% of the old Bio Noodles and replace them with fresh ones. How can you tell which are which? The older noodles get darker and more stained looking so just root out the mucky looking quarter of the total and replace them every three months or so. In this way the bio media is replaced on a yearly cycle which is ideal.
