BIO BALLS ECO FILTER
WHAT ARE BIO BALLS AND WHY ARE THEY SO GOOD FOR BIOLOGICAL FILTRATION?
Those small plastic balls inside your Aquarium Filters are quite amazing, and this is why.
They are called Bio Balls and when used properly, they provide powerful all natural biological filtration in your aquarium or pond.
HOW BIO BALLS ECO Filter WORK
All the good bacteria inside your fish tank, that convert ammonia into nitrite and then nitrite into nitrate
Those bacteria form an essential part of the nitrogen cycle.
To do their job properly, they need a home inside your tank. You could say that they are small plastic homes for nitrifying bacteria.
WHY THIS UNIQUE DESIGN WORKS
The unique design of these bio balls serve a very important purpose. Bacteria love to cling to the surface of objects, so these balls have been specially designed to provide as much surface area as possible for these bacteria to cling on to.
Compare a bio ball to a regular ball…
Even though both are the exact same size and shape, the bio ball on the left has much more surface area, making it capable of housing more bacteria than the ball on the right.
Our bio balls even have small pieces of foam inside – even more surface area for bacteria to cling to.
The foam is perfect for growing large colonies of nitrifying bacteria. It’s what makes a sponge filter so good at biological filtration.
While bio balls come in different designs and sizes, they all perform the same function…
Bio balls sit in your filter. As water passes over these balls, the nitrifying bacteria filters your water, removing ammonia and nitrites – dramatically improving the water quality.
With that said, bio balls are a larger media and will work best in a large sump or external filter.
How do you use Bio balls?
How to best use these balls. Firstly, Bio balls can be submerged underwater!
Place them in your canister, HOB filter or sump.
The only time you wouldn’t place bio balls underwater is if you use them in a trickle-filter setup.
Ideally, you should use some form of mechanical filtration, such as a sponge or filter floss, before the bio balls.
