Mantis Bio Sphere – 1kg Box
Advanced Ceramic Biological Filtration Media
The Mantis Bio Sphere is made from inert ceramic material with an advanced open-flow architecture, providing an exceptionally large usable surface area for biological filtration. Compared to conventional filter media, Mantis Bio Spheres deliver higher efficiency with less media required to effectively treat NH4-N (ammonia) and NO3-N (nitrate).
Ultra-High Surface Area for Beneficial Bacteria
Each sphere features a microporous surface structure with a very large specific surface area, making it ideal for the growth of beneficial microorganisms. This structure supports the formation of a stable and highly active biofilm, ensuring long-term and reliable biological filtration.
-
Supports ammonia and nitrate reduction
-
Encourages rapid bacterial colonisation
-
Long-lasting, inert ceramic construction
3D Open Structure for Maximum Water Flow
The unique three-dimensional (3D) void structure, created by the spacing between each sphere, allows excellent water flow and oxygen exchange. This design improves filtration efficiency while reducing the risk of clogging.
Mantis Bio Spheres also provide an excellent base for sponge growth, micro-fauna, and even coral frags in reef systems.
Versatile Use Across All Filtration Systems
Mantis Bio Spheres can be used in a wide range of filtration applications:
-
Sumps
-
Trickle filters
-
Wet / dry filters
-
Hang-on-back filters
-
Directly in aquariums or ponds
Suitable for freshwater, marine, and pond systems.
