A fluid incubation apparatus has a frame defining a chamber and is capable of floating or being suspended below the surface of the fluid to be cleaned. The frame defines a chamber having a top, bottom and sides, with at least one of the sides and/or top being light transmissive. The ends of the chamber are preferably open to provide for flow therethrough. Disposed intermediate between the ends of the chamber is a means for enhancing the growth of biocatalysts present in the fluid. This means is preferably a particulate matrix made of biologically inert material for enhancing the surface area available for growth of biocatalysts. The chamber can also be supplied with one or more pumps for pumping growth media (i.e. atmospheric air and/or oxygen, fluid, nutrients) into the fluid-filled chamber. These pumps can also enhance the flow of fluid through the chamber under stagnant fluid conditions. A pump carried on the frame can have an air intake above the water level when the frame is floating.
