BC,
BioHome is another sort of synthetic (compared to crushed corals) bio-media which is designed in such a way that not much water flows thru' the inner parts. This then causes oxygen levels to be much lower in the inner section, hence enabling the denitrication bacteria to grow there. Quote:

bro BC,
Normally if you've kept your sponge filter clean, you won't have to clean the BioHome/Biorings. In the event that you need to, use the aquarium water to do so. Quote:

bluecool,
A 1 kg pack is more than enough even for a 400 litre tank, so it should do wonders in your tank, even without the bio rings. In fact I would remove the bio rings stage by stage until you're left with only BioHome. You can use even 1/4 of the BioHome, but the more bio-media you have, the more stable your tank will be. Just compromise with the amount of space you can spare in the canister. z Quote:

So let me get this right:
In a FOWLR tank, if you have JUST BioHome (and filter pads above it) in your sump, chances are you'll have sufficient bacteria for nitrification AND denitrification |

rez,
In theory, yes. But it all depends on how soon you place in your fish, and how many fish you put in. Quote:
