    **NEW MEDIA NOW AVAILABLE – MINI ULTRA -AND BIOHOME ULTIMATE WHICH IS THE BEST FILTER MEDIA AVAILABLE – (THIS VIDEO IS WELL OUT OF DATE)**
    Media is as follows with suggested best type of filter use (shown in same order as this video):
    1 – Biohome Standard
    A compact sintered glass media suitable for overhead filters, trickle filters, sumps, external and internal filters.
    2 – Biohome Plus
    As above but with additives to ensure much faster colonisation by bacteria.
    3 – Biohome Ultra
    A larger version of Biohome standard with rougher feel. Possibly the best media available. Suitable for trickle towers, sumps, larger external filters, overhead filters and multi chamber koi filters.
    4 – Biomotion
    A rounded sintered glass media with neutral buoyancy. Suitable for moving bed filters, overhead filters, trickle filters, sumps, external filters and internal filters. Has montmonrolite clay coating to condition water.
    5 – Ceramic Rings / Noodles
    Ceramic media with variable surface area depending on quality. Suitable for external filters, overhead filters, internal filters, trickle filters and sumps.
    6 – Bio Sponge Ball
    Plastic media with added internal sponge to trap solids and support extra bacteria. Suitable for filters with a fast flow through rate e.g. Koi filters, Shower filters (before ceramic media) and large external filters.
    7 – Hel-x
    Plastic filter media which is an evolution of K1. Has approx 40% more surface area than K1 per litre. Supports very hardy bacteria which rapidly consume ammonia and nitrite. Suitable for moving bed filters and high demand applications (koi or large aquariums).
    8 – K1
    Most widely used plastic moving bed filter media. Has less surface area than Hel-x but is smaller so can be used in tiny filters. Supports vigorous bacteria as above. Suitable for moving bed filters.
