Effective biofiltration depends on the development of a biofilm layer on the filter media. In bead-based biofilters, bacteria attach to the media surface and carry out the biochemical processes that are essential for purifying recycled water. When a biofilter is first...
Once a biofilter is initially acclimated, it contains the right types of bacteria. The next step is to ensure there are enough bacteria to handle the ammonia produced by the animals in the system. This is done by gradually increasing animal density in moderate steps,...
