How to Use Aquarium Bio Balls?
March 18, 2025

-
Placement
- Install Bio Balls in the biofiltration chamber of a wet/dry filter, sump tank, or canister filter. Avoid placing them in areas with strong water flow, as this can dislodge bacteria.
-
Quantity
- Use an appropriate number of Bio Balls based on the tank size and bio-load (number of fish and waste production).
-
Maintenance
- Rinse Bio Balls periodically in tank water to remove debris, but avoid over-cleaning to preserve beneficial bacteria.
-
Combination with Other Media
- Pair Bio Balls with mechanical and chemical filtration media (e.g., filter floss, activated carbon) for comprehensive water filtration.
