Fluval Biomax 500 g

Great in my 307 external canister does what it's suppost to. My go to bio media great value for money. Helps with water quality. And is very effective in growing good bacteria on., nice big size and lasts years.

I have this media for some time now. What I can say about it, it does indeed absorb water very well. Sintered glass is a really good idea for bio media. I have this mixed with hydroponic pebbles in my SUNSUN 704B Filter. I have three massive trays filled with this and the clay pebbles and the fourth tray as mechanical. I have no issues with bacteria sorting out my nitrogen cycle during any stage of maintenance or water changes. The one bit of advice I would like to give about this product or any other static biomedia is to make sure you're mechanical filtration is hit first coming into your pump ((Course / Medium / Fine) => and then the biomedia. You certainly do not want this getting hit with debris and block it up. If this happens you can always soak the media in H202! It will clean and clear up the pores. The last thing I have to say about this product, it that is is cheap for what it is!!! It's proper sintered glass, with a high density of pores to absorb water. Other media out there that does the exact same thing can be very expensive.

Nice

Just what I needed

Brilliant stuff. Good price.

Good media for my Juwel in tank filter. Tank cycled quickly. Used in conjunction with other media plus filter pads.

really helped build up all that good bacteria for the tank.

These are too bi to fit into the fluval u2. You can only get a couple in. Would be better if they were a bit smaller, I did try break a couple up. Would still recommend or maybe try and find some smaller media

deftige kwaliteit zeker en vast

Material filtrante muy poroso. Mucho producto a buen precio! Se ve que irán de maravilla para la creación de bacterias benéficas para el acuario!

Quality of Product is amazing. You can feel the quality just by unboxing it.

Unlike polished alternatives, the Biomax’s rough texture and maze of tiny crevices offer an ideal haven for nitrifying bacteria, creating a thriving mini-ecosystem inside each piece. This translates to faster bacteria colonization, meaning fewer ammonia spikes and beautifully balanced water parameters—a win for the fish and for any dedicated aquarist. And it’s not just the quality; at this price point, it's a serious deal, especially with Prime shipping adding convenience. Pro tip: grab more than expected! Remember to rinse them in aquarium water (not tap water!) to preserve all the beneficial bacteria hard at work. This simple step is key during filter maintenance to keep that beneficial colony going strong without wiping it out. While Fluval recommends replacing these every six months, any seasoned aquarist knows ceramic media is practically immortal. It’s fantastic for seeding a new tank filter, making the cycle period shorter and saving valuable time. The only tiny drawback? They’re a bit bulky, so they might not fit snugly into smaller tanks with compact filters.
