Description
Yellow Ceramic Ring (Bio Media)
The Yellow Ceramic Ring is a highly porous bio-media designed to provide a large surface area for beneficial bacteria growth. It plays a crucial role in biological filtration, helping to break down harmful ammonia and nitrites into less toxic nitrates, ensuring a healthier and more stable aquarium environment.
π Key Features
β High surface area β The porous structure allows billions of beneficial bacteria to colonize.
β Effective biological filtration β Helps convert toxic ammonia & nitrite into safer nitrate.
β Durable & reusable β Does not dissolve in water; long-lasting media.
β Yellow ceramic design β Improves water flow efficiency through the filter chamber.
β Versatile use β Suitable for canister filters, hang-on-back filters, sump filters, and top filters.
β Safe for all aquariums β Works in freshwater, planted, and marine tanks.
π Suitable For
-
Tank Size: All aquarium sizes (nano to large tanks).
-
Fish Types: Community fish, cichlids, goldfish, marine fish, shrimp, and planted aquariums.
β οΈ Not a standalone filter β must be used inside a filter chamber along with sponges or other mechanical media.
