How much Biohome do I need for my Aquarium?
Recommended ratio of media to water is as follows;

Marine Environment 1 Litre Biohome = 1125 Litres of water
Freshwater 1 Litre Biohome = 2250 Litres of water


If you are going to have a high stock loading ( a lot of fish in a small area) you should allow approximately 1 cubic centimetre of Biohome to 8 cubic centimetres of fish by volume.
'Biohome Plus' has carefully chosen trace elements added to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria.
Flow rates In our experience we have found the maximum flow rate in an upwelling fluidised bed filter with air injected into the filter inlet is ;

Marine: 10 mm/sec
Fresh: 5 mm/sec


Optimum efficiency will be attained in zero light levels however Biohome does operate in shaded environment.

Water must be pre-filtered to allow the Biofilter to operate most effectively.
