Different filter media

[david lee]

Hi bros,

just wondering anybody can do a flavour?

post pictures of the different type of media to cultivate bacteria, as we have hear so often bacteria house, biohome, etc... Educate fellow members so this is prevention is better than cure-to provide excellent water condition to our beloved fishes..

So some of us may be new or are already confused like myself, any kind soul can do this.

tks in advance

Bro sorry mayb phased my english wrongly. England not powerful enough caused u to misunderstand.

What i meant is the picture you showed is a bio home, the centre part is solid; non hollow.

Bacteria house is the one as descripted and pictures showed by bro Regional in his article on bacteria house.

But what is the difference in usage between this two??

Bro Troy told me there is even a version of the bacteria house that is rectangle shaped and can fit into the filter trays.

here are some of the pictures of my old setup using bacteria house, towards the end i took out the filter wool and the bacteria house is exposed on the top tray

Thank you so much bro, appreciate you taking time to feed this info.

I think now this info should be sufficient though it may not cover all areas.

Tks
