Ok,now understand liew I know normal CR need to chg once a yr but how about biohome?

[nim75sg]

Never changed mine for 2 years liao and still as good ie BioHome didn't disintegrate nor do I add any additional pellets.

Are the pellets still working after all these years?

Yes, definitely as the Ammonia & Nitrite are at zero levels reading and this are the BioHome Red (with nutrients) type.

bro nim75, you said it all. biohome one of the best i used.

[FuEl]

My nitrates measure zero without dsb and my skimmer only on for half a day. Not sure if it is due to biohome?

soak in fresh water BB die liow.

[tansh]

soak in fresh water BB die liow.

Thats the reason why i want to soak them in fresh water so that I can restart the cycle in my new tank.Btw my 3ft tank setup sold 1mth ago liew so no choice hv to let them die.

Hi Bros,

May I know wat is the amount per packet of Biohome? I got mine at 300g per packet box, (yellow packaging) is it the correct Biohome? I looks like scale rods inside, rite?

[ryz]

WHy soak in freshwater and kill the bacteria?! U should let the bacteria remain so that your new tank is seeded with the beneficial bacteria... it'll drastically reduce the cycling time...

Biohome is just like LiveRocks, just a porous material for bacterial colonisation.. no expiry date one... just dun clog the pores.. or it might become less efficient

Thks for the advice,due to my new tank delay no choice hv to kill them.Untill now my new tank almost sit at my home for 1mth liew due to lots of changer like changing to custom made cabinate and piping.

Not sure best if u can post a pic than i can advice u

[ryz]

It looks like longush cylindrical pellets... COmes in Grey and REd colour.. The red colour one has added nutrients and vitamins or something to promote bacterial colonisation... It should say BioHome on the box

[Tigger]

I have been using Bio homme too. But I find this product useless.

Hi,

I threw away the box liao. But the box is yellow in color with I think a picture of clownfish! Stated Biohome in front!!

[ryz]

why u say useless? How do u ascertain the effectiveness anyway? I've heard many good things abt Biohome and have quite good experience with it myself.. rather potent I feel. A small bag can support enough bacteria to support the bioload of many fishes...
