Aquaclear Biomax

This does not remove NITRATE! It removes Ammonia and Nitrite. The details on Amazon page says it removes nitrate and this is wrong. Many people new to the hobby confuse Nitrite and Nitrate. Understandable since these sound almost identical. I just wanted to clear that up. To remove nitrate you will have to perform water changes or buy some aquatic plants that will remove a little bit of nitrate. The bacteria only consume the nitrite and ammonia.

All this product does is add a lot more surface area for the bacteria to live on thus increasing the biological load your tank can handle.

I also want to add that this does not make your water cloudy. If you do not rinse the pellets off as the directions say then you will introduce very fine white dust to the tank. If you rinse the pellets real good until you no longer see powder coming off you should be fine.

This is a very good product overall.

Way better than the one it came with the AquaClear 50 when I bought it. This one comes in a clothe net bag, so there's no cutting or transferring the rocks, just rinse and drop. Although it kind of takes a bit longer for the beneficial bacteria to build up than the old one I got that has a plastic net.

Speedy delivery. AquaClear BioMax is one of the best products for aquarium I've found. Within a few days, bacteria began to grow with its golden tan color. Fish do not seem to have a problem with it. Note: I was told to only change the BioMax every 6 months and to only change out 50% of the bag out with new BioMax to keep the bacteria balance. Will buy again.

I love the fact that I can use two of these in my AquaClear 110 and it is much cheaper than buying the biomax for the 110.

After weeks of use, the biomax pellets fill up with brown-tan growth. It is probably beneficial bacteria, but the net bag tends to grow them and some algae too. I threw my first one away after ~10 months of use because the pellets started to chip. The new pellets probably chip less and will last longer.
