| BI OX® is specifically designed for bio-filters. It increases dissolved oxygen, removes harmful gases and cultivates maximum essential nitrifying bacteria. |
|
BI OX® dramatically increases the carrying capacity and working ability of any existing trickle, tray or canister filter. Less BI OX® is required than other mediums. |

30 years ago, we used undergravel filters. They worked, however, there were draw backs. Then there were outside hanging filters and canister filters. They worked, but again there were draw backs. Then came the trickle filter. This is the easiest to use and most efficient. Then came the fluidized bed filter. This replaced many trickle filters. It was soon realized that fluidized bed filters produce product water that is very low in precious dissolved oxygen. Water from a fluidized sand filter should be run through a trickle filter to bring oxygen levels back to standard or above saturation. Then came the plenum filter. The plenum filter received too much hype in magazines. It has proved to be of questionable value and in come cases, a time bomb. A well designed under or over the aquarium trickle filter with BI OX® remains the best filter for both fresh and salt water aquariums.
