More bacterial surface area means faster conversion of toxic ammonia and nitrite into harmless nitrate — essential for keeping fish healthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSupplements Foam Filtration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the foam pads handle mechanical particle removal, the bio surface element focuses on biological water treatment. It sits inside the Filtral alongside the foam, operating passively as water flows through. Replace the bio element when it becomes clogged with fine silt that cleaning cannot remove, or every two to three seasons as a precaution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Models\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/oase-filtral-uvc-filter-system-400\"\u003eFiltral 400\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/oase-filtral-uvc-filter-system-800\"\u003e800\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/oase-filtral-uvc-filter-system-1600\"\u003e1600\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePorous biological surface element\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSafe For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKoi, goldfish, aquatic plants, wildlife\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace the bio element inside the Filtral housing alongside the foam media.
