Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much Bio-Blox do I need for my pond?
A: Filtration requirements depend on pond size, fish load, and feeding rates. As a general guideline, heavily stocked koi ponds benefit from 1-2 cubic feet of biological media per 1,000 gallons. Consult with a pond professional for specific recommendations.
Q: Can I use this in any type of filter?
A: Yes! Bio-Blox works in pressurized filters, gravity filters, wetland systems, bio-chambers, and other biological filtration applications. The lightweight design makes it easy to retrofit into existing systems.
Q: How long does Bio-Blox last?
A: Bio-Blox is extremely durable and won't break down over time. With proper maintenance, it can last for many years. You'll never need to replace it unless physically damaged.
Q: Do I need to rinse it before use?
A: Yes, rinse Bio-Blox with pond water (never tap water) before adding to your filter to remove any dust from shipping. Never use chlorinated water, as it will kill beneficial bacteria.
Q: How long before beneficial bacteria colonize the media?
A: Beneficial bacteria colonization typically takes 4-6 weeks. During this "cycling" period, monitor water quality closely and avoid overfeeding fish. Bacterial starter products can accelerate this process.
