The self-cleaning nature of Moving Bed Bio-Reactors (MBBR) is a major advantage for koi keepers; the constant tumbling of the media sheds old, dead bacteria, making way for younger, more vigorous colonies. We offer a range of standalone moving bed units and modular chambers that can be easily integrated into existing gravity or pump-fed systems, typically using K1 Micro or Hel-X 13 media for maximum surface area.

A well-oxygenated Moving Bed Filter is essential for maintaining zero ammonia and nitrite levels, especially in heavily stocked ponds. For a pond with a surface area of 12m², ensuring your biological chamber is sized correctly with the appropriate volume of media is key to long-term water quality. At Southcoast Koi and Aquatics, we provide the technical advice and equipment needed to build a professional-grade bio-stage for any pond setup.
