Savio Bio Comb for F070
Advanced Fluidized Biological Filtration Media
Savio Bio Comb for F070 is a versatile, highly effective fluidized bio media that transforms harmful, toxic ammonia from fish waste into healthy, beneficial nitrates which release nitrogen to feed aquatic plants. This innovative media provides superior biological filtration while requiring minimal maintenance.
Key Features
- Fluidized Bio Media: Suspended in water and moving within the filter for continuous self-cleaning action
- Self-Cleaning Design: Outer layers of dead bacteria are shed and continuously replaced with new blooms of thriving, ammonia-hungry bacteria
- Protected Incubators: Internal spaces serve as "incubators" supporting continuous production of new bacteria within the colony
- Low Maintenance: Unlike static media (rock, mats, foam), Bio Comb requires no regular removal, cleaning, or reinstallation
- Superior Habitat: Designed to provide optimal environment for both young and mature beneficial bacteria colonies
- Efficient Ammonia Conversion: Transforms toxic ammonia into beneficial nitrates for healthier fish and thriving plants

How It Works
Bio Comb Fluidized Bio Media works by providing an ideal habitat for beneficial bacteria colonies. As water flows through the filter, the media remains suspended and in constant motion, preventing clogging and ensuring maximum surface area contact with water. The fluidized action continuously sheds dead bacteria layers while protected internal spaces incubate new bacterial growth, creating a self-sustaining biological filtration system that efficiently converts harmful ammonia into plant-nourishing nitrates.
Advantages Over Static Media
Traditional static filter media like rock, mats, and foam must be regularly removed, cleaned, and reinstalled in the filter—a time-consuming and disruptive process. Bio Comb's fluidized design eliminates this maintenance burden. The constant movement keeps the media clean and prevents channeling, while the self-shedding action ensures fresh, active bacteria are always working to purify your pond water.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is fluidized bio media?
A: Fluidized bio media is filter media that remains suspended and moving within the filter rather than sitting statically. This constant motion provides self-cleaning action and prevents clogging, making it more efficient and lower maintenance than traditional static media.
Q: How often do I need to clean Bio Comb media?
A: Bio Comb is self-cleaning and requires minimal maintenance. Unlike static media that must be regularly removed and cleaned, the fluidized action continuously sheds dead bacteria and prevents buildup, eliminating the need for frequent cleaning.
Q: Will this work in my Savio filter?
A: This Bio Comb media is specifically designed for the Savio F070 Filter. Verify your filter model to ensure compatibility.
Q: How does this improve water quality?
A: Bio Comb provides an ideal habitat for beneficial bacteria that convert toxic ammonia (from fish waste) into nitrates. Nitrates are much less harmful to fish and provide nitrogen that feeds aquatic plants, creating a healthier pond ecosystem.
Q: How long does it take for bacteria to colonize the media?
A: Beneficial bacteria typically begin colonizing new media within a few days to weeks, depending on water temperature and conditions. The protected incubator spaces within Bio Comb help accelerate this process and support continuous bacterial growth.
Q: Can I use this with other types of filtration?
A: Yes! Bio Comb provides biological filtration and works best as part of a complete filtration system that includes mechanical filtration to remove debris before water reaches the bio media.
