GREAT PRODUCT BUT DO NOT BUY FROM AMAZON!

I made the mistake of ordering a pound of mini biohome media from Best Buy for 21 dollars. When I received the bag I realized it couldn't fill 1/2 of one of my canister filter trays. Thankfully I read another review that said it's more cost effective to order it from the manufacturer. I went to the Great Wave Engineering site and shopped for it. I couldn't believe the difference in price. I had to pay for shipping but it was still much cheaper. Instead of 21 dollars per lb. It is 15 dollars per

Pros
  • arrived on time, used in filter for 5 gold fish in 130 gallon tank filter.
Cons
  • Expensive and not cost-effective for those on a tight budget

Mini isn't exactly mini

I'm glad I got the "mini" as I wouldn't exactly call it mini at all. Each piece is a little more than an inch. Otherwise, I guess it seems like it's ok.

Pros
  • Very good
Cons
  • The small size of the product (1 LB) may not be sufficient for larger aquariums or ponds

A premium product that really performs.

This is a far superior product when compared to other types of bio-media that I’ve used. It has lasted from October 2020 to present, April 2021 without having to clean out my filter. In past years I cleaned it twice in the same time period.

Pros
  • Love this stuff works great in my fx6
Cons
  • While it claims to produce cleaner and clearer water, this benefit may not be overwhelmingly noticeable to the average user

Not as much as you would think.

1 pound isn't that much of this stuff at all. It's heavier than it looks. Barely enough to fill half of the basket in my penn plaxx 1500. A lot of money for a half basket of media. I still put 5 stars cuz it is one pound as described.

Pros
  • Good media
Cons
  • The product may not be compatible with certain fish and aquatic life, potentially harming or killing them

Good filter - my new review

This is the 1 lbs bag, I should have ordered 2 lbs for my 55gal turtle tank due to how dirty turtle are.When I get good results on the filter configuration I will have to order more for the permanent in tank skimmer/filter

Pros
  • Perfect amount perfect item arrived intacted n what was expected
Cons
  • It's possible that the product may take a significant amount of time to properly work and produce noticeable results

Quality filter media

Pondguru says this is the good stuff. And i like his style. And overall i myself fond this to be the best bio media if your going to buy store bought media.

Pros
  • Great bio media
Cons
  • The media may not be as durable as advertised and may require frequent replacement or repair

Highly Recommend best in my review

I saw these on YouTube video of The Pond Guy and thought I would give them a try! I used in my Penn Plax 1200 canister filter. My water is crystal clear and I have dramatically reduced water changes! A little more expensive than some other media but totally worth it! 👍👍 Two Thumbs Up!

Pros
  • After watching the pond guy, decided to try it. Seems to be holding up and keeping my aquarium healthy.
Cons
  • May not fit all types of filter systems, limiting its overall versatility

Worth the money. in my review

If you have the patience and wherewithal to run a full nitrogen cycle this works amazing. I have fantailed goldfish and didn't buy enough at first. After doing water changes every other day for nearly 3 months my 30 gallon tank is crystal clear and I haven't changed the water in over a month. Plants are absolutely thriving too.

Pros
  • Works as described!!!
Cons
  • Biohome Mini Ultra may not be effective in addressing certain water quality issues such as pH imbalances or temperature fluctuations
