## Long description

Hagen Fluval BioMax 500 g is a biological filtration media composed of porous ceramic-like granules designed to support colonization by beneficial nitrifying bacteria. Supplied as 500 grams of media, BioMax increases the available surface area inside canister or internal filters to accelerate the biological breakdown of ammonia and nitrite, helping maintain stable water chemistry in freshwater and planted aquaria.
Advantages
BioMax media features a highly porous structure that provides extensive surface area for bacterial growth while allowing efficient water flow. Because it focuses on biological filtration, the media helps reduce toxic nitrogenous compounds without altering water chemistry. The granules are compatible with common canister and internal filter baskets and can be combined with mechanical or chemical media for a staged filtration approach.
Suitable for
Freshwater aquariums requiring enhanced biological filtration
Planted tanks where stable nitrogen cycling is important
Canister and internal filters that accept granular media
Setups seeking to reduce ammonia and nitrite concentrations
Key specifications
Quantity: 500 g of porous ceramic-like granules
Function: Biological filtration media for nitrifying bacteria
Form: Granular media with high internal surface area
Compatibility: Suitable for use in canister and internal filter baskets
Suitable water type: Freshwater aquaria, including planted tanks
How to use
Rinse the BioMax media briefly in dechlorinated water to remove dust before placement. Place the granules in a filter basket or media bag according to the filter manufacturer’s layout, typically after mechanical media and before any chemical media to ensure optimal biological contact. Maintain regular maintenance routines: avoid thorough simultaneous cleaning of all biological media to preserve established bacterial colonies and perform partial rinses during regular filter checks.
Usage recommendations
For best results, integrate BioMax into a multi-stage filtration setup, using mechanical media to trap debris upstream and chemical media downstream as needed. When cycling a new aquarium, allow several weeks for beneficial bacteria to establish and monitor ammonia and nitrite levels. Replace a portion of the media only when necessary, and follow manufacturer guidance for filter configuration to preserve biological stability.
