It has the shape of cylinders made of small-pored sintered glass, which guarantees a very large filtration surface.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow does BioCeraMAX UltraPro 1200 work?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the inner surface of the pores of the BioCeraMAX UltraPro 1200 cylinders, strains of beneficial nitrate-forming bacteria of the Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter species settle over time. In their life processes, these microorganisms harness the metabolic products ammonia (Nitrosomonas) and nitrites (Nitrobacter), which are toxic to fish, and oxidize them to nitrates, which are much less dangerous to the inhabitants of the aquarium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere and when does the use of BioCeraMAX UltraPro 1200 prove its worth?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBioCeraMAX UltraPro 1200 proves excellent as a filter bed in canister filters, overflow filters, sump aquariums and filter chambers. It can be used in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. It is especially recommended for tanks with large fish or a large number of fish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow to use BioCeraMAX UltraPro 1200?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBioCeraMAX UltraPro 1200 is ready for immediate use and does not require rinsing or other preparation for use. The contents of the package are transferred to the filter basket or chamber. For best results, it is recommended that the BioCeraMAX UltraPro 1200 filter cartridge be placed after the mechanical filtration cartridges and before the chemical filtration cartridges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow long does BioCeraMAX UltraPro 1200 work?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe BioCeraMAX UltraPro 1200 insert can be used for a very long period of time without replacement, but is subject to slow, gradual wear due to crumbling, which reduces its effectiveness. However, to ensure optimum effectiveness, replacement of approximately 1\/3 of the insert with a new one every 6-12 months is recommended. While cleaning the filter, rinse the insert in the dirty water let out of the aquarium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAttention!!! The BioCeraMAX UltraPro 1200 filter insert should not be washed in running tap water, as this will impair its sterilization!!!","brand":"Aquael","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45915649704251,"sku":"RA106612","price":12.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/9771\/1675\/files\/aquael-bioceramax-1200.jpg?v=1712211821","url":"https:\/\/www.aquaristik-shop.ch\/en\/products\/aquael-bioceramax-ultrapro-1200","provider":"AQUATANA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
