    It is a system of filtration that relies on bacteria to process nutrients in the tank and then be skimmed off. It also diversifies the bacterial population in the tank

    The concept behind it is to add bacteria and a carbon source to drive reproduction. As the bacteria multiply the als oconsume nitrate and phospate in order to continue to multiply. As the food source is depleted the return to previous levels and the dead ones are skimed off
