AC Hollow Bio Beads – The Core Filter Media for Efficient Bacteria Cultivation and Water Purification
Update time: 25-05-14 Views: 3
In the realm of aquarium keeping, maintaining stable water quality and a healthy ecosystem is the primary goal for every aquarist. Accumulation of harmful substances like ammonia nitrogen and nitrite not only threatens the health of aquatic life but can also lead to turbid water and unpleasant odors. Building a robust nitrification system starts with choosing high-quality filter media. AC Aqua Clean’s Hollow Bio Beads stand out as an ideal solution for freshwater, marine aquariums, and pond filtration systems, offering a scientific approach to achieving crystal-clear water and a thriving aquatic environment.
I. Patented Hollow Design: Pioneering Efficient Bacteria Cultivation
The core advantage of AC Hollow Bio Beads lies in their innovative hollow structure (Patent No.: ZL201220692481.3), patented in 2013, making AC one of the first global brands to introduce the "hollow" concept to filter media. The hollow cavity creates a three-dimensional surface for nitrifying bacteria while generating an ionic concentration gradient that actively adsorbs harmful substances like ammonia (NH₄⁺) and nitrite (NO₂⁻), accelerating biochemical reactions.
- Ultra-Large Surface Area for Maximum Bacteria Colonization: With a specific surface area of up to 608m²/L and 20-30 micron-level micropores, the beads provide abundant attachment space for nitrifying bacteria, enabling rapid colonization and dense biofilm formation. Whether for nitrobacteria in freshwater tanks or specialized flora in marine environments, the porous structure supports efficient reproduction, significantly enhancing ammonia conversion.
- Dual Micropore Functionality: Purification + Adsorption: 0.3-0.5 nano-level micropores precisely adsorb heavy metal ions and small organic molecules, effectively removing yellowish water and improving clarity; while macropores over 10 microns offer ideal habitats for bacteria, integrating physical adsorption with biological filtration.
II. Scientific Water Quality Adaptation for Stable Ecosystems
Water pH and hardness (GH) are critical for nitrifying bacteria activity. Fired at 1200°C, AC Hollow Bio Beads are made of stable ceramic material with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH (7-7.5). The initial slightly higher pH (7.5) optimizes bacteria reproduction, gradually stabilizing to neutral, creating a stable environment for aquatic life.
- Universal for Fresh and Marine Water: Suitable for freshwater tanks, vibrant reef tanks, and outdoor koi ponds, the inert ceramic material is free of harmful substances, avoiding irritation to aquatic organisms and enabling versatile use across all water types.
- Long-Lasting and Low Maintenance: The high-temperature firing process ensures resistance to powdering, with a service life of over 10 years. Its permeable structure reduces clogging, allowing easy cleaning and reuse, minimizing maintenance efforts.
III. Proven Results: Witness Water Transformation in 48 Hours
Aquarists report noticeable water improvement within 48 hours after using AC Hollow Bio Beads: yellow water clears, odors diminish, and fish activity increases. This stems from the dual purification mechanism – nano-micropores adsorb colored organics, while the hollow structure accelerates harmful substance decomposition. Tests show over 90% ammonia removal within 72 hours and a significant drop in nitrite levels, establishing a powerful "natural Water Purifier" for aquariums.
IV. Versatile Application Across All Filtration Systems
The flexibility of AC Hollow Bio Beads makes them popular in various setups. Whether used in trickle filters, sump systems, hang-on-back filters, or large pond filtration, filling them enhances processing efficiency. Their moderate size (≈1cm) ensures smooth water flow, preventing dead zones and maximizing media utilization.
Choose AC Hollow Bio Beads for Effortless Water Quality Management
As an innovator in aquarium filter media, AC Aqua Clean is committed to "scientific water care." The Hollow Bio Beads address common issues like low bacteria efficiency and poor adaptability in traditional media, injecting vitality into aquatic ecosystems through patented technology. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned hobbyist, this all-in-one media for bacteria cultivation, purification, and durability is your key to an ideal aquatic world.
