Usage Instructions

1. Rinse & Soak: Rinse the Bio-Spheres to remove dust, then optionally seed with a bacterial culture (e.g., Fauna Marin Bacto Blend) by soaking overnight.
2. Placement: Position them in a sump, canister filter, wet/dry filter, hang-on-back filter, or directly in the aquarium. Use the included bag to keep them contained.

Maintenance

• Routine Cleaning: Gently rinse the Bio-Spheres in tank water every 12 months to remove surface debris.
• Longevity: Replace media approximately every 5 years or as needed.
• Scaling Up: To increase filtration capacity, simply add more spheres.

Caution: Never clean or replace all your Bio-Spheres at once. Stagger replacements to preserve your established beneficial bacteria.
