The mechanical filter media traps coarse and fine dirt particles. Biological filter media, on the other hand, ensure colonization by purifying bacteria that transform pollutants. This process is essential for achieving clear, healthy water and stable parameters in the aquarium.
EHEIM bioMech is a combined filter media that fulfills both mechanical and biological functions within a single media.
EHEIM bioMech is designed for combined water treatment. Its intelligent structure allows it to trap coarse and fine dirt particles in specific pockets, while its porous structure promotes effective colonization by cleaning bacteria.
The material is pH neutral, without hardeners, and ensures reliable biological degradation without influencing water parameters.
This filter media is washable, durable, and can be reused multiple times, ensuring gentle cleaning to preserve bacterial cultures.
