Life Bio Fil 1200ml

This filter media from Aquaforest is designed for aquarists who run a sump and need a biological filtration insert for a medium-sized tank. The supplier specifies a 400 L aquarium as the intended application, so it fits hobbyists planning a system in that volume range.

Why it matters

• Sump placement: the manufacturer directs that the media be placed in a sump with good water flow, so water passes through the material continuously.
• Defined volume: the insert is sold as 1000 ml, which lets you calculate how much media a 400 L system requires.
• Scheduled replacement: the supplier recommends replacing 10–20% of the media every 6 weeks, so you can renew the medium gradually instead of changing the whole charge at once.
• Weight: the package weighs 0.76 kg, which helps when planning shipping and storage.

What it works with

The product is intended for a sump-based filtration setup in an aquarium of about 400 L, where it is placed in the sump in an area of good water flow. It is a filtration media insert, so it belongs with the pump and filtration components of a sump system rather than with stand-alone aquarium décor or equipment.
