Biological Filtration (Sponge)
Biological filtration is a process where toxic nitrogen compounds such as ammonia and nitrite (Fish waste) are removed from the system via a breakdown process carried out by nitrifying bacteria. (Nitrobacter and Nitrosomonas). These nitrifying bacteria need substrate with a high surface area to adhere to such as a sponge or Bio Grid.
