If you want to know anything about what should be happening inside an external filter watch this video.
I show you how to set up an external filter and explain every step of the way what is happening inside that part of the filter.
There is an explanation on the difference between aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, why you need them both and how your filter will support them if set up properly.
The media I use in this video is Biohome Ultimate - the best media available for external filters.
Biohome filter media supports both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria so is able to process ammonia, nitrite AND nitrate.
The gel filter starter balls speed up the development of a bacterial colony on / in filter media by slowly releasing live bacteria as they dissolve over a 1-2 week period.
