Maxspect Nano-Tech BioSpheres – Compact, High-Efficiency Biological Media
Maxspect Nano-Tech BioSpheres are formed from a durable, densely packed network of micro-spheres engineered to provide an exceptionally high surface area within a compact volume. This advanced design reduces the overall quantity of biomedia required for effective nutrient cycling in both freshwater and marine aquariums.
 
Engineered for Maximum Bacterial Colonisation
Manufactured from specialised ceramic material, each BioSphere features a distinctive cross-cut internal structure. This intricate design creates an ideal environment for dense colonies of beneficial bacteria responsible for converting ammonia and nitrites within aquarium water. With ongoing use, some systems may also experience a reduction in nitrate levels, further supporting long-term water stability and improved overall conditions.
 
Versatile Filtration Applications
Nano-Tech BioSpheres are suitable for use in a wide range of filtration systems, including:
Sumps
Media reactors
 
Their spherical form allows efficient water contact and flexible placement within both new and established setups.
 
Proven Technology Adapted for Aquatic Systems
The Nano-Tech Bio-Media range is developed using established principles derived from the sewage treatment industry, where reliable nutrient removal from wastewater is essential. By incorporating this proven technology, aquarists can significantly reduce the need for bulky live rock used solely for biological surface area — freeing up space and lowering overall system weight in both tanks and sumps.
