Mountain Tree Lotus Root Bacteria House (Generation 2) Dia 8X25CM 15 pcs in 1 carton

Mountain Tree Lotus Root Bacteria House (Generation 2) Dia 8X25CM 15 pcs in 1 carton

This Mountain Tree Lotus Root Generation 2 ceramic bacteria-house media is intended for custom koi-pond filter chambers where water must pass evenly through a durable, high-surface-area stage. It can support beneficial bacteria while also intercepting suspended material, depending on whether it is installed submerged, in a shower or as a fitted cartridge.

Filter media only works across the water that reaches it. Pack it too tightly or leave gaps around the edge and the flow will bypass the intended surface. Measure the chamber and plan support, retention and cleaning access before cutting or stacking the media.

Media features

• 15 pieces per carton
• Individual element size 8 × 25 cm
• Spiral, high-area form for wet/dry showers or biological chambers
• Mesh protector around each element
• Open arrangement encourages water and air contact

Verified product information

Installing it in a filter

Arrange the media so dirty water cannot take a shortcut around the sides. Support heavy wet media securely and make individual sections removable; a giant tightly wedged block is almost impossible to clean without disturbing the whole filter.

New biological media takes time to mature. Preserve healthy existing media where possible, maintain oxygen and test ammonia and nitrite after a major change. Rinse mature media in pond water rather than chlorinated tap water.

Our practical view: We value media that can be lifted and inspected. A slightly smaller removable cartridge with sealed edges is usually more effective than a chamber packed so tightly that it is never cleaned.

Frequently asked questions

Is this mechanical or biological media?

It can contribute to both, depending on pore size, flow and installation.

Can it replace a pre-filter?

Not usually. Remove leaves and heavy solids first so the biological stage does not become a waste store.

How do I cut sheet media?

Measure carefully, use suitable tools and leave a snug fit without crushing the open structure.

Will it be mature immediately?

No. Beneficial bacteria develop over time and depend on oxygen, temperature and food supply.

Can I clean it with tap water?

Avoid chlorine on mature biological media; rinse gently in removed pond water when practical.
