Limitations for the filtration are: It must fit on a table 1.6m x 0.60m. The tank (or tanks) are yet to be decided upon / designed. So, in a biological filter system what would you love to have? This can be for; 1. Filtration capacity 2. Great for a refugium type environment 3. Interesting Go! Matt (Thanks in advance)
Exploring the Power of Biological Filtration in Aquarium Filters
Biological filtration uses living organisms to filter out harmful substances, while mechanical filtration removes debris and particles from the water. Both provide important benefits for a healthy aquarium environment. Biological filtration. Biological filtration is an essential part of maintaining a healthy aquarium environment.
Biological Filtration: Future Of Drinking Water Treatment
Biological filtration uses "good bacteria" to digest waste and balance water. The same principles are used in aquariums, septic tanks, and many other applications. Afterwards, the water is sent through several other systems to completely purify it and make it exceptionally safe for drinking. Here are the details about how these …

In high income countries, the biological filters are commonly used to reduce or remove organic matter, a precursor to the formation of harmful disinfection by products, prior to chlorination 14,15,16.
Biological Filtration Media
For me, the two most effective types of biological filter media have been Eheim Subtrat Pro (which are small balls of sintered glass) and Seachem Matrix (which is pumice based). Both have tremendous surface area, but even these do not completely eliminate nitrates on their own. But don't overlook the effectiveness of just plain old .

The term biological filtration refers to the various beneficial bacteria that grow on just about every surface submerged in your aquarium. This bacteria breaks …
Adding Bio Media to existing tank?
billygoat. I think it's highly unlikely that adding biomedia would crash your tank. Assuming the new media is clean and won't be leaching phosphates or heavy metals, it would at worst have no effect and at best would bolster your biological filter a bit.
Biofiltration
Biological filtration is the reliance on a cohort of chemoautotrophic bacteria, and archaea that oxidize nitrogenous wastes from cultured specimens and associated organic inputs to our colonies, in an oxic environment. ...

Stages in Downstream Processing: 5 Stages
Rotary Drum Vacuum Filters: These filters are frequently used for separation of broth containing 10-40% solids (by volume) and particles in the size of 0.5-10µm. Rotary drum vacuum filters have been successfully used for filtration of yeast cells and filamentous fungi. The equipment is simple with low power consumption and is easy to operate.
Do planted tanks need extra biological filtration?
The sponges are for particulate filtration. You don't need anything in the filter except the water movement. The Nitrogen Cycle starts with ammonia, and the plants take up the ammonia directly, so you end up with a low level of Nitrate. MY TANK: Planted 10g; 2 x 10W CFL; Fluval U2 internal filter; MGOCPM/black sand cap.
Lava rock as biological filtration instead of traditional biological …
I use lava rock in filters and as a base to attach java fern and anubias plants. I have used it in filters on two small ponds and the water stays crystal clear. I bought a bag of lava rock used in barbecues and it works well. It also works in riparium planters. One of the wholesale fish suppliers highly recommend it to help remove nitrates.
A Guide to Cycling
Repeat until your rocks can process 1 ppm of total ammonia down to 0.25 ppm within 24 hours. When finished, your tank will have a working biofilter capable of handling a typical initial bio-load. Notes: Don't add ammonia or ammonium to rock containing non-bacterial life (like pods or other inverts).
Biological filtration for wastewater treatment in the 21st …
3.2. Research evolution. Biological filtration was first introduced as trickling filters for wastewater treatment in the UK in 1893. Since then, biological filtration has been successfully used to treat various types of water, and was also common in aquaculture and reclaimed water reuse as a way to improve water quality while minimizing water waste.
biological filtration is king/filters are habitats
Reading a very interesting article on filtration on aquariumscience. incase anyone forgot, biological filtration is king. (as shown on the chart below) biological filtration = water movement + surface area + time This is another point in favour of 'seasoning' tanks instead of just 'cycling' t...
Glomerular Filtration Rate: Meaning & Factors
GFR = K f × NFP (PG – P B – G + B) Summary of Factors that can Decrease GFR: 1. Filtration Coefficient (Kf): ADVERTISEMENTS: Since the GFR is 125 ml/min and NFP is 10 mm Hg, normal K f is calculated as 12.5 ml/min/mm Hg. Factors Affecting Glomerular Filtration: i. Filtering membrane—size, pores and charge.
Microbial biotechnologies for potable water production
The most common use of microbial biotechnology in drinking water treatment is biological filtration. This involves the filtration of oxic or oxygenated water through granular media such as sand, granular activated carbon (GAC) or anthracite and may include slow sand filtration, rapid sand filtration (gravity or pressurized) or bank …
A review on biofiltration techniques: recent advancements in …
Biofiltration is the biological-based technique employed to treat contaminated air and water [52, 53]. The biofiltration process was carried out with the biological filters also known as biofilters. Biofilters consist of filter media where the microorganisms attach themselves and colonization takes place.

Best Biological Filtration?
The only differene between biomedia and rock is that the biomedia is typically more porous and doesn't take up space in the display. And no, biomedia is not a nitrate factory in that they produce unwanted nitrates. Whatever nitrates they produce will come from what you are putting in the tank.

The best biological filtration in a ZMAS is in the function of the desired bio-load. ... A discussion about the porosity of rock has only sense if maintaining a very limited bioload and even then, the filtration capacity will be very low due to the very limited water exchange rate in porous rock. Porosity may influence the denitrification ...
Biological Filtration for Aquariums: How It Works
Biological filtration is a natural process by which beneficial bacteria, called nitrifying bacteria, metabolize ammonia and nitrite in the water. The bacteria convert ammonia, which is toxic to fish, into nitrite, which is less toxic, and then into nitrate, which is relatively safe at lower levels. Biological filtration works in conjunction ...
Optimal Flow Rate for Biological Filtration
So if tank holds 100 gallons it would have a pump running up to 600 gallons an hour. However is there not an optimal rate, when looking at certain brand filters for example canister filters they do not all have huge flow rates some only 500 gallons per hour. 2000Litre Plywood Tank - 1 x Pink Giant Gourami, 1x Clown Knife, 1 x Saratoga, 3 …
