The OASE ProfiClear Moving Bed Module is an add-on biological filtration module for ProfiClear Premium Compact-L Gravity-fed systems. This module dramatically increases your system's ability to process fish waste, making it ideal for heavily stocked koi ponds or when you need maximum biological filtration capacity.

Key Features:

  • Adds powerful biological filtration to ProfiClear Compact-L Gravity systems
  • Includes 50 liters of Hel-X bio-media (processes ~12 oz of waste per day)
  • Expandable to 75 liters per module (~18 oz of waste per day)
  • Hel-X media provides 515 sq ft of surface area for beneficial bacteria
  • Innovative bypass technology keeps media moving while maintaining clear flow
  • Pre-installed aerator bar for optional AquaOxy 450 connection
  • Sludge drain with pull handle for easy flushing and winterization
  • Can substitute PondPads for Hel-X if additional mechanical filtration is needed
  • 3-year warranty (2-year + 1)

Why Moving Bed Filtration Works:

Moving bed filtration uses small plastic bio-media that tumbles gently in the water. This constant motion sloughs off dead bacteria, exposing fresh colonies to process ammonia and nitrites from fish waste. Hel-X media features a unique design with protected inner surfaces (245 sq ft per cubic foot) that house beneficial bacteria safely, while the turbulent water keeps colonies clean and active without damaging them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When should I add a Moving Bed Module to my system?
A: Add a Moving Bed Module when you have a heavily stocked koi pond, large koi that produce significant waste, or when you want to maximize your system's biological filtration capacity. If you're feeding more than 12 oz of food per day, or if you're experiencing ammonia or nitrite issues despite proper filtration, adding a Moving Bed Module can significantly boost your system's ability to process waste. It's also ideal for professional koi keeping or show-quality fish.

Q: How does this module connect to my ProfiClear system?
A: The Moving Bed Module connects in series between your ProfiClear Premium Compact-L Gravity filter and the Individual Module (which houses your pump). Water flows from the drum filter into the Moving Bed Module, where the Hel-X media processes dissolved waste, then continues to the Individual Module and back to your pond. You can add multiple Moving Bed Modules for even greater filtration capacity.

Q: Should I add an AquaOxy 450 aerator to this module?
A: Yes, adding an AquaOxy 450 (sold separately) to the pre-installed aerator bar is highly recommended. The aeration provides oxygen enrichment that keeps beneficial bacteria thriving and creates the gentle turbulence needed to keep the Hel-X media moving. This movement prevents dead bacteria buildup and ensures maximum biological filtration efficiency. The combination of aeration and media movement is the most effective way to maximize waste processing capacity.
