BIO-HOME ?

[Tunnel Rat]

Hi gang
Who knows anything about Bio-home or has used it ?
It seems a lot of people are using it in Asia I have never heard of it.
The web site has big statements like this Biohome is by far the best bio-filter medium for your aquarium !

Sounds like BS to me

Same it looks like shit.

Just buy some Seachem Matrix that's ment to be good stuff.

Sounds good Rat, but sintered glass is nothing new.

It's been around for a long time.

The only claim I doubt is the "removes nitrates" comment.

I am not in need of any media just came across bio-home in a lot of Asian forums so thought I would look into it.
The web site did give me the gimmicky feel :?

Rick I have Matrix in all my tanks & luv it :D

My Endi tank is about 200 mg/L Nitrate (NO3) before its weekly 40% water change if I can get my hands on some of this I could see if this % changes :lol:
lets see.

Jesus !!!!!

I'd be doing 2 or more 50% WC's a week with Nitrates at that level

Thats a DANGEROUS level of Nitrate !

All my tanks are less then 5ppm

as per previous, 200mg/L is dangerously high.

At best it will only stunt the Endi

At worst, well, lets not go there

Another option aside from more frequent water changes is to hook up a denitrification unit. I use an Aqua Medic NR1000 and Nitrate levels are always below 5-10ppm and that is with big messy fish. (25% water change every 2 weeks since the NR1000 has been in place, prior to that, water changes every 5-6 days)

Sorry I stuffed up did not mean to give you all a hart attack just added one to many zero's (typo) it is still high at 20 mg/L.
But I know I feed them too much they are real fat but I will slow down when they get in the bigger tank.See they are stuck in a small 200L when they get hungry they start fighting but when full they just chill out so I keep them full (Fat pigs lol).
Proteus I will look into a Aqua Medic NR1000 sounds like a good addition to my new 5x2x2 I got from you .I will post some pics of it when it is all up and running it's cycling now taking forever :(

[Proteus]

lol 20mg/L - 200mg/L

HUGE difference...

[Tunnel Rat]

lol 20mg/L - 200mg/L

HUGE difference...

only one zero lol

Hey just had a hart attack myself $445- for the Aqua Medic NR1000 my wife will kill me :shock:
I will see how the NO3 goes with the new tank if still in the 20mg range she can kill me again lol.
