Specifications

• Remove Bio-Chem Stars from plastic bag and rinse thoroughly to remove any dust. Place Bio-Chem Stars in the last compartment of your filter. Bio-Chem Stars will become colonized by bacteria within several weeks.

• Because Bio-Chem Stars do not break down or clog they may be used indefinitely. Continuous water flow is necessary to maintain living colonies of bacteria.
