Product Information

Full details

Oase BioCliff is an advanced biological filter media designed for aquarium hobbyists looking to maximize nitrification and denitrification efficiency in their filtration systems. Featuring a high porosity of 85% and an immense surface area of 1250m² per liter, it is ideal for maintaining stable water parameters in both freshwater and marine environments; however, users must ensure it is placed in a high-flow area of their filter to prevent debris buildup within its complex structure.

FAQs

Is Oase BioCliff safe for shrimp and sensitive fish?

Yes, because it is made from pH-neutral natural siliceous rock, it is chemically inert and safe for all freshwater species.

How often should I replace the media?

BioCliff is a long-lasting biological media. It does not need regular replacement; simply rinse it during your normal filter maintenance routine.

Can I use this in a marine aquarium?

Yes, the material is stable and suitable for both freshwater and marine aquarium filtration.

Do I need to put it in a filter bag?

Using a mesh bag is recommended for easier maintenance, though it can be placed loosely in filter trays if the tray design prevents the media from escaping.

Will this media affect my KH or GH levels?

No, the media is pH-neutral and will not cause fluctuations in your water's carbonate or general hardness.

Troubleshooting

Cloudy water after installation

This is likely residual dust from the rock. Ensure you rinse the media thoroughly with aquarium water before placing it in the filter.

Nitrate levels remaining high

Ensure the filter has adequate flow and that the media is not packed too tightly. The anaerobic zones require a slow, steady flow to function effectively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Significantly increases biological filtration capacity
Promotes both nitrite and nitrate reduction
pH neutral and does not affect water chemistry
Versatile use across multiple filter types

Cons

Requires proper flow to prevent sediment clogging
Needs an initial rinse to remove production dust
More expensive than basic ceramic rings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the media, place the BioCliff granules in a clean bucket and rinse thoroughly with dechlorinated water or aquarium water until the rinse water runs clear. This removes any fine siliceous dust generated during transport. Place the media inside a mesh filter bag if your filter basket has large gaps to ensure easy removal during maintenance. For maintenance, simply swish the media gently in a bucket of tank water during your monthly filter cleaning to dislodge trapped organic debris. Avoid using tap water for cleaning, as chlorine can destroy the beneficial bacteria colonies living on the rock surface.
