Here are the lyrics to The Surface Area Song

 

It is so very crucial in maintaining your aquaria
Providing good bacteria with lots of surface area
The water quality without them would be worse than horrible
From water change to water change in order categorical
They’re very well acquainted with the toxin called ammonia
When your fish excrete it, they soon make themselves at home-ia
Nitrite is their first product, and then nitrate is the Second one

Which aquatic plants can use, as it provides them nitrogen.

So whether you include robust amounts of filter media
Or rely on gravel to give them a place to feed-ia

It is so very crucial in maintaining your aquaria
Providing good bacteria with lots of surface area
