How long u use liao.. according to them it will not disintegrate. But i think media should change every 1-2yr. Recently i change to Maxspect Nano tech sphere. Will c how it works. only $1 cheaper den biohome plus n it is said to be bigger in surface den Biohome Plus

Can use more than 2 years for biohome. It also depends is in which kind of filter. How much is maxspect?

I saw BioHom is $49 1kg (Should be 1kg). But i bough maxspect 2Kg at $50 only. So should b alot cheaper.

thanks! I'm using it in my canister filer.
have used for more than 2 years already i think.

tank water does not turn reddish, but inside my canister lots of powder .
also doesn't seem to finish when i rinse there is always dust.

I've had this happen before and i threw away the old bio home, and have not bought new one anymore because of this. really liked bio home plus before it started crumbling.

vincent2982 31-01-2018 11:26 AM

Time to change den. Mayb u can try Nano tech biosphere, so call will not crumple. Cheaper also. But not sure if can fit how much in your tray, But due to the super big surface area, 10ball is so acall enough for 50Gallan tank. Put more the merrier, i gg to put 4KG to my OHF lol.

I use matrix. No such problem after 7 year usage so far.
