http://www.filterpro.co.uk It has been a long time in development but we now have a specific filter media available for marine (saltwater) use. Building on the success of the 'Biohome ultimate' filter media the added trace elements in this media have been specifically chosen to benefit marine bacteria. This causes the media to be even more receptive to bacterial colonisation, allowing it to mature faster and the trace elements also act as a catalyst during bacterial processes enabling waste to be processed faster. The Biohome marine still has the perfect balance of large and small pores found in the mini ultra and ultimate media so supports an excellent balance of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria enabling the processing of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. End product is harmless nitrogen gas which is taken up by plants or exchanged with atmosphere. This means better water quality, healthier fish and less water changes for you. However there is another (unexpected) benefit to using Biohome marine.....During the long testing period the people testing the media reported the rapid cycling and excellent water quality associated with all Biohome media but also that their corals were much more colourful, healthier and produced more polyps more regularly. This is possibly due to the excellent water quality but may be due to other bacterial processes boosted by the trace elements in the media. Since launching the marine media other fish keepers around the world have reported the same health boosting effect on corals too. If you want to purchase Biohome marine or any other Biohome filter media please check out my website link at top of this description. For non-UK fish keepers there are links to other suppliers around the world on every page of the website (flags) which will take you directly to the website of your nearest supplier. If you are running an external filter you may want to consider the 'External filter upgrade kit' on my website which are available in 1kg, 3kg and 5kg sizes and if you are unsure about how an external filter should be set up properly please click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsAmSD3wVbg On the Filterpro website there is a Q&A page which contains answers to questions many people have asked me over so check that out for some quick answers to questions you may have.

This video introduces BioHome Marine, a specialized filter media designed for marine environments. It explains the differences between the Mini Ultra, Ultimate, and Marine versions, highlighting how specific trace elements in the Marine version accelerate bacterial colonization and improve the health and coloration of corals.
Yeah, this is just a very quick video to introduce
a new sort of filter media within the BioHome range.
This one is BioHome Marine.
This one is Mini Ultra.
This one has no added trace elements.
This one here is the BioHome Ultimate.
This one does have added trace elements.
It probably needs no introduction, that one,
because it's ridiculously popular and effective.
And this one here, you'll notice it's a slightly different colour.
Instead of being like an orangey-browny colour,
it's more like a browny-purpley sort of a colour.
That's because of the added trace elements.
This one is the BioHome Marine.
Now, while these sizes are perfect for external filters,
for the trays in them,
there is also larger sizes of each of these available as well.
That's the Marine version. That's the big lad.
Thank
They're more suitable for sumps.
So the bigger version for sumps,
the smaller version for smaller filters, it's absolutely
perfect for external filters.
They all have exactly the same porosity,
but they're different colours for different applications.
This one can be used anywhere.
you.
This one is more suited to fresh water.
This one is more suited to marine environments.
Now in the same way that the Biohome Ultimate
had added trace elements specific to...
Freshwater bacteria to enable them to set up faster
and also complete their processes faster.
Added trace elements specific to the marine bacteria,
the marine environment,
to enable marine bacteria to set up quicker
and do the processes faster.
But it also benefits corals as well.
We're not entirely sure how or why,
but it has something to do with the added trace elements, we believe.
And basically what people are finding
is that corals are becoming more colourful and also
producing more polyps more regularly.
I'm a marine keeper so I don't really understand
keeping corals and so on,
but the BioHome Marine definitely helps with the health and colouration
and propagation of corals as well
as obviously reducing nitrate as the ordinary fresh water.
Two main added ingredients within the BioHome Marine are iron
and manganese, which are present in a lot
of chemical additives that you can put into marine systems.
Now they are present within the media purely
for the benefit of bacteria.
These elements are fused into the structure of the media,
so they're not free floating around your tank,
but they're there to help
the bacteria set up faster on and in the media,
And they're also there to help it.
complete the processes of consuming ammonia,
nitrite and nitrate a lot faster by acting
as a catalyst.
If you've used any of the forms of BioHome,
please put some sort of report or just let
us know how you found it in the comments section below,
that would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much and if you want to purchase any
of the forms of BioHome, there are numerous
suppliers throughout the world, just take a look at my website.
At the top right hand corner of every page there will
be links to different suppliers
around the world.
It's basically just their country's flags,
if you click on there it'll take you directly
to their websites.
So check out that website,
there's lots of questions and answers on there and hopefully
you'll become one of the many BioHome users around the world
whose fish are exceptionally happy
in beautifully healthy water.
Thanks very much for watching, catch you next time.
