ADA Bio Rio 2L Filter media

The ADA Bio Rio 2L is a premium biological filter media designed for stable and efficient aquarium filtration. Made mainly from porous pumice stone, it provides an ideal surface for beneficial bacteria to colonize inside aquarium filters. These bacteria play an important role in the nitrogen cycle by helping break down harmful ammonia and nitrite, supporting healthier water conditions for fish, shrimp and aquatic plants.

Unlike ordinary filter media, ADA Bio Rio 2L comes with live bacteria that helps biological filtration start quickly after initial aquarium setup. This makes it especially useful in Nature Aquarium style layouts, planted aquarium setups and aquascaping systems where stable water quality is essential. Its porous structure supports long-term bacterial colonization and helps maintain balanced aquarium water conditions.

This media can be used in canister filters, sumps, overhead filters and suitable HOB filters with enough media space. It is ideal for freshwater aquariums, high-tech planted tanks and aquascapes that require dependable biological filtration. For best results, place Bio Rio after mechanical filtration so larger debris does not clog the media too quickly. Do not wash the media before use, as this may remove the beneficial live bacteria added to the media.
