Abstract For the success of recirculating aquaculture systems (RASs), effective biological filtration is essential. This study examined the biofiltration efficiency of four moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR; abbreviated BF) configurations inoculated with a Bacillus spp. consortium (BC) and their effects on tilapia performance and health. Four treatments were tested: (1) BF120BC0: Biofiltration process lasted 120 days, 60 days before and 60 days during the experiment, without Bacillus spp.
