Mountain Tree Lotus Root Bacteria House

The Mountain Tree Lotus Root Bacteria House MKIII is a premium ceramic bio-filtration media engineered to deliver exceptional biological filtration performance for aquariums and ponds. Built on the success of previous generations, the MKIII features an advanced lotus root and spiral structure that maximises water contact and dramatically increases the surface area available for beneficial bacteria to colonise. 

With a specific surface area of up to 5292 m² per litre, the porous ceramic structure provides an ideal habitat for nitrifying bacteria that convert harmful ammonia and nitrite into less toxic compounds, helping maintain stable and healthy water conditions.

The media’s microporous design and high water absorption rate allow water to flow deep into the internal structure, ensuring efficient filtration while reducing the risk of clogging. This makes it particularly effective in high-load filtration systems such as koi ponds, aquaculture facilities, and advanced aquarium filtration setups.

In addition to its filtration capabilities, the ceramic material is enriched with natural minerals and trace elements, including calcium, magnesium and iron, which help support fish health and promote a balanced aquatic ecosystem.

Durable, long-lasting and highly efficient, the Lotus Root Bacteria House MKIII is an ideal biological media choice for hobbyists and professionals seeking reliable water purification and long-term biological stability.
