When newly setting up or replacing your other filter media, we recommend using the filter booster bioBoost that immediately activates the new filter media and accelerates the filtration performance in your aquarium.Ģ.

In addition to the filter media fitted at the factory, JUWEL Aquarium offers a range of additional filter media.ġ. When should I use the optional filter media?

Please refer to our change flyer in the download centre for information about the exact placement of our filter media." We recommend that Carbax is used in the upper filter insert, between bioCarb and Nitrax.Īmorax, Cirax and Phorax should be placed at the top of the lower filter insert.Ĭarbax, Amorax, Cirax and Phorax can be used in the upper part of the filter basket, instead of the Nitrax sponge. Where do I insert bioBoost, Carbax, Amorax, Cirax and Phorax in my filter?īioBoost should be placed directly underneath the filter floss. The JUWEL SeaSkim contains a low-noise and powerful Eccoflow SeaSkim 1500 pump that ensures the formation of extremely fine bubbles and therefore guarantees effective protein skimming in your saltwater aquarium. For the optimised operation of a saltwater aquarium you will also need the JUWEL SeaSkim and a ceramic axle for the pump in the inside filter. Yes, the Bioflow filter is also suitable for saltwater aquariums. Can the Bioflow filter that is installed at the factory also be used for saltwater aquariums? The filter booster bioBoost and the nitrate remover Nitrax, on the other hand, should be used for fresh water aquariums only. The optional filter media such as Amorax, Carbax, Cirax and Phorax are also suitable for saltwater aquariums. The filter media filter floss, carbon sponge, fine filter sponge and coarse filter sponge that are fitted at the factory can also be used for saltwater aquariums. Do I need to adjust my filter media for operating a saltwater aquarium, or are the filter media fitted at the factory just as suitable for saltwater use?

However, you can attach the EccoSkim to the glass using the provided suction mount, to make room to mount the FilterGrid to the intake slots of the filter. If you are operating the EccoSkim using the filter mount on the filter itself, it is not possible to also attach the FilterGrid to the filter. Can I use the JUWEL FilterGrid and the JUWEL EccoSkim together? If a FilterCover is already mounted to your filter, you can carefully enlarge the cut-out at the bottom using a box cutter to make the FilterGrid fit. However, you will need to individually adjust the cut-out, rather than using the template on the back of the cover.

What's more, Nitrax reduces the growth of algae by anaerobically breaking down nitrates, thus supporting the vitality of your fish.ĥ. Nitrax is a biological filter medium containing specialist micro-organisms to break down poisonous metabolites (ammonium/nitrite) in your aquarium, thus reducing the danger of fish mortality. Optional: 3.The excellent absorption properties of Carbax enduringly and quickly bind discolorations, odours and toxic substances and ensure crystal-clear water.Ĥ. In this way, it acts as a chemical filter. The carbon sponge absorbs odour compounds and turbidity as well as toxic compounds, leaving you with crystal-clear water. The poly pad catches coarse particles of dirt in the water, thereby serving as a mechanical pre-filter.Ģ. Every Bioflow filter system comes fitted with five top-quality filter media:ġ.
