Nitrifying Bacteria
Join the millions of other demanding aquarists that have chosen Penguin filters with complete, 3-stage aquarium filtration to keep their aquarium clear, clean, and healthy. These Bio Wheel Aquarium filters are one of the best aquarium power filters for any aquarist. Check out these fantastic improvements to the already efficient Penguin line. A larger Bio-wheel means more area for nitrifying bacteria to grow, keeping your aquarium totally free of harmful ammonia and nitrites. Increased flow rates maintain optimum water circulation and insure proper Bio-wheel rotation. Adjustable mid-level intake strainer allows you to take aquarium water from mid-tank for complete circulation. The Penguin’s all-new cover design and sealed motor dramatically reduces water noise while still maintaining optimum oxygenation. All Penguin filters use the handy Rite-Size filtration media cartridges so changing the filter is a snap. Penguin filter cartridges take care of all mechanical and chemical filtration in your aquarium and are extremely easy to replace. For complete, easy aquarium filtration for your aquarium, nothing works like a Penguin filter.

The multi-stage filtration system utilizes the entire canister volume for radically increased water flow efficiency. Its mechanical stage features vertical twin foam pre-filters to increase flow and reduce maintenance. The chemical and biological stages are housed in independent modules. This means you can change filter media independently and ensure a constant level of all-important nitrifying bacteria.The multiple modules allow a vast array of filter media options for maximum versatility. Use the basic filtration media included or customize filtration by combining up to three unique media in the configuration that’s just right for your system. This unparalleled level of flexibility allows you to perfect your own aquatic environment.

20 stars. Fists FilStar XP1, XP2, XP3 Canister Power Filters.Bio-Chem Stars internal pore structure is formed under a patented process that creates a 50-70 micron internal pore network. This pore size is optimal for the growth of beneficial bacteria, including nitrifying bacteria that remove toxic ammonia and ntirite. This pore size also allows the best oxygen and water transfer through the star, which keeps bacterial colonies healthy and active. Bio-Chem Starts are an efficient biological filter medium available for use in FilStar Canister Power Filters.Bio-Chem Stars do not degrade and do not need to be replaced with normal use.Bio-Chem Stars are designed for use with all FilStar filtration media.
