Lanyu - Bio Ball for Aquarium Filtration
Bio balls serve as vital filtration media for aquariums, providing a habitat for beneficial bacteria that carry out biological filtration, integral to maintaining aquatic ecosystem health. These small spherical plastic or rubber balls, available for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, facilitate the growth of bacteria that convert harmful ammonia from fish waste into less harmful nitrites and subsequently into nitrates. While versatile, bio balls are designed for biological filtration and should not be used to trap waste; a mechanical filter should handle that task before water reaches the bio balls. They come in various sizes suitable for different filters, and a general rule of thumb is to use 2.2 gallons of bio balls for every 100 gallons of water. Proper maintenance includes periodic cleaning to avoid bacterial disruption, making them highly effective in controlling toxic compounds in water, thus ensuring a safe environment for aquatic life.
