The Clean Water Series (TCWS) Bio-Media for Freshwater & Planted Aquariums

Porous Biological Filter Media with Mesh Bag and Water Care 4+ Introductory Offer

Support Effective Biological Filtration in Your Aquarium

The Clean Water Series (TCWS) Bio-Media is specially designed for freshwater aquariums and planted tanks, providing a porous filtration medium that supports the growth and colonization of beneficial filtration bacteria. Inspired by nature's water purification processes, this aquarium bio-media helps establish an environment where microorganisms can break down organic substances that contribute to water pollution.

Made from porous natural stone, TCWS Bio-Media offers high permeability, allowing water to pass through the media and providing surfaces for beneficial bacteria to colonize. These microorganisms play an important role in biological filtration, helping maintain better aquarium water quality when used as part of a properly maintained filtration system.

Whether you maintain a freshwater community aquarium or a planted aquarium, TCWS Bio-Media can be added to a compatible aquarium filter to support biological filtration and routine aquarium maintenance.

Key Features and Benefits

1. Porous Natural Stone for Biological Filtration

The porous structure provides surfaces for beneficial filtration bacteria to colonize, supporting the biological filtration process in freshwater and planted aquariums.

2. Supports Beneficial Bacteria Colonization

The media creates an environment for microorganisms involved in breaking down organic substances, helping support the aquarium's biological filtration system.

3. Helps Manage Organic Waste

Beneficial microorganisms can break down certain organic substances that contribute to water pollution. Regular filter maintenance and appropriate aquarium care remain essential for maintaining water quality.

4. Suitable for Freshwater and Planted Aquariums

TCWS Bio-Media is designed for use in freshwater aquariums, including planted tanks, making it a useful addition to compatible aquarium filtration systems.

5. Includes a Convenient Mesh Bag

The pack includes a mesh bag for holding the bio-media, making it convenient to place inside a compatible aquarium filter and remove when cleaning is required.

A Water Care 4+ packet is included as part of the introductory offer. This additional product is provided as a promotional inclusion and may be subject to offer availability.

How to Use TCWS Bio-Media

Follow these steps to install the biological filter media correctly:

1. Rinse Before Use: Wash the bio-media before placing it inside your aquarium filter to remove loose dust and debris.

2. Fill the Mesh Bag: Add the bio-media to the mesh bag provided in the pack.

3. Secure the Bag: Tie the mesh bag securely to prevent the media from spilling out.

4. Place Inside the Filter: Position the bag inside a compatible aquarium filter where water can flow through the media.

5. Allow Biological Filtration to Develop: Beneficial bacteria need time to colonize the media. During initial setup, aquarium water may temporarily become cloudy due to loose particles or changes in the aquarium's biological balance.

How to Clean TCWS Bio-Media

Over time, dirt and sludge may accumulate on the media and restrict water flow through the filter.

If you notice reduced filter flow:

1. Carefully remove the mesh bag containing the bio-media from the filter.

2. Place it in a clean bucket containing aquarium water removed during a water change.

3. Rinse the media lightly to remove accumulated dirt and sludge.

4. Return the mesh bag to the filter and check that water flows properly.

Avoid aggressive cleaning or washing the media with chlorinated tap water, as this can damage beneficial bacterial colonies. Clean only as needed to remove excess debris while preserving the biological filtration capacity.

Important Aquarium Care Tips

• Ensure that your aquarium filter is appropriately sized for your tank and stocking level.

• Maintain regular partial water changes and monitor water quality.

• Avoid replacing or thoroughly cleaning all established biological filter media at the same time.

• Allow sufficient time for beneficial bacteria to colonize new media.

• Monitor ammonia and nitrite levels, particularly when setting up a new aquarium or changing filtration media.

• Keep the filter operating with adequate water flow to support biological filtration.

Please note that bio-media supports biological filtration but does not replace mechanical filtration, regular aquarium maintenance, or appropriate water-quality management.
