Brightwell Aquatics MicroBacter Lattice Medium – Porous Biological Filtration Medium for use in Freshwater, Planted, Brackish Aquariums and Systems, 2 Liter

Aerobic and Anaerobic bacteria remove noxious ammonia and nitrogenous waste from aquarium systems. Both require large surface areas on which to grow. MicroBacter Lattice provides a huge surface area that is up to 200 times larger than many biological filtration mediums, providing for a much more efficient filtration system in a much smaller space. While MicroBacter Lattice provides the area, it must be properly seeded with bacteria to allow it to populate properly. This can be done naturally by just placing the material in your filtration system, but ideal results will be achieved much more rapidly and a more diverse population of bacteria will be established by the use of MicroBacter Start XLM, MicroBacter Start XLF, MicroBacter7, FlorinBacter7 or MicroBacter Clean.

• High porosity filter medium for use in ponds and large marine, brackish, or freshwater aquariums.
• Provides large amounts of aerobic and anaerobic surface area for efficient bacterial colonization; provides over 7,500 square feet of surface area per liter of medium.
• When properly colonized and used as directed, will reduce toxic ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates to near zero in ponds and aquariums.
• Reduces phosphate significantly and dissolved organics.
• Works excellently as the only filtration medium for the aquarium or pond or may be employed in addition to other filtration media.
